We really appreciate the feedback our borrowers have shared about moments when transport has proven tricky.

How to join Zipcar and get £10 free driving credit
Zipcar is the UKs biggest car sharing club, offering 24/7 car and van hire in your local neighbourhood. We’ve teamed up to offer our borrowers who are new to trying Zipcar £10 driving credit to help with getting your items home.
Please note you have to become a Zipcar member first to claim your driving credit, so it’s worth doing in advance of collecting your item. Approval can take up to 48 hours.Â
- Sign up via the link in your borrowing confirmation email to become a Zipcar member
- Pay the £10 application fee
- Once your membership is confirmed, Zipcar will give you the £10 application fee back as driving credit
- As you've signed up in the link via your email, £10 driving credit will be automatically applied to your account once approved
This means in total you end up with £20 driving credit. That’s enough to cover your trip to collect and return your item from our kiosk with some to spare!
