The University of Richmond's Zipcars give you the flexibility to get off campus on your own schedule. The University's two Zipcars—a Toyota Prius and a Honda Civic Hybrid—can be used by student, faculty, or staff member who registers on the Zipcar website. It's easy to sign up and available to anyone age 18 or older, provided they have a driver's license.
Don't be late when returning a Zipcar. If you need a time extension, call (866) 4-ZIPCAR.
Fees
A $35 fee due at sign up is converted to a $35 credit on your account, available for one month after registration. The fee for using a Zipcar is $8 per hour, which includes gas and insurance.
