Zipcar

Since 2012, DCAS has offered a car sharing program through Zipcar. Zipcar is an easy way to get "wheels when you need them", as many of you may know from driving on personal Zipcar accounts. Car share through Zipcar gives agencies the ability to provide access for short term vehicle needs as well as to supplement vehicle needs during emergencies such as coastal or snowstorms.

Approved drivers from participating agencies can pick up and drop off cars and even light trucks on a flexible schedule to attend meetings, site visits, inspections, or any other official City business throughout the five boroughs. Zipcar for city business is meant to be for short term needs and are not permitted to be held overnight or used for commuting.

Reservations can be made with a few clicks online or on a mobile app. Drivers can be issued cards that will unlock and lock any reserved car or can also use their mobile phones to perform these actions. Zipcar has over 2,300 vehicles and hundreds of parking locations in the City and in Spring 2023 will launch EVs in New York City which we encourage our employees to use.

Zipcar is both convenient and cost effective helping to reduce the reliance on permanently assigned fleet units and allowing for reduction of the city’s non-emergency light duty fleet. For more information on this program please contact your agency transportation coordinator.
