Car Sharing
Zipcar is available on campus!
Zipcar is a self-service car share program available to the entire campus community. Zipcar vehicles are available right on campus and can be reserved by the hour or day 24/7. Rental fees include insurance, gas and mileage up to 180 miles per day. Rentals are meant for roundtrips and can be reserved in advance when you need to run errands, attend meetings, visit friends or anything else you may need to do.
Zipcars can be found in reserved areas in Parking Lot 1, Bannockburn, and the auto courts just outside of Big Springs Parking Structure 1.
How do I join?
You must first register for a membership at Zipcar by using your UCR email account. UCR students and staff benefit from a discounted $25 annual membership fee to participate. You must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver's license and credit card to join. International licenses are acceptable. Once approved by Zipcar, you will be mailed a membership card to access the vehicle or you can instantly reserve by using the Zipcar app.
Rates vary depending on the vehicle, so check the Zipcar website to view the current inventory of vehicles and pricing.
