How does Zipcar insurance coverage work?
All members in good standing have secondary third party auto liability and, where required, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or "no fault" coverage. A $2,500 damage fee may apply which you can reduce or eliminate by buying an optional damage protection waiver. More details.
