So You Want a Magical Zipcar Card? Let's Ditch the Broom and Hop in a Ride!
Ever dreamt of ditching that pesky invisibility cloak and becoming everyone's favorite car-sharing superhero? Well, my friend, cast aside your want for apparition and delve into the world of Zipcars! But before you zoom off in a cloud of exhaust (okay, maybe not literally), you'll need a trusty Zipcar card, the key to unlocking automotive adventures.
How To Get A Zipcar Card |
Fear not, fellow sorcerer (or just regular human)! Obtaining a Zipcar card is easier than finding a decent cauldron these days. Here's your spellbook to becoming a Zipcar whiz:
-
The Age Potion: First things first, you'll need to be at least 21 years old to wield this magical card. Though, if you're an 18-year-old student or happen to reside in the mystical lands of New York, Michigan, or Maryland, the Zipcar gods might grant you an exception (check their website to be sure).
-
The Driver's License Libation: Unearth your driver's license, that holy grail of the road. Zipcar needs to verify you're not a troll fresh out of driving school (no offense to trolls, some of you have excellent taste in automobiles).
-
The Membership Mixology: Head over to the Zipcar website and whip up a membership plan that suits your potion-making (or errand-running) needs. They have options for the casual sorcerer and the full-blown potion delivery service.
-
The Verification Vortex: Zipcar will then perform a quick background check, basically making sure you're not planning to use their cars to rob Gringotts (don't even think about it). Most approvals are instant, but if a rogue Hippogriff delays things, they'll let you know.
Abracadabra! You're In!

Once your application is approved, congratulations! You've graduated from frog's breath lollypops to the real deal. But fear not, there's no need for a pet owl to deliver your Zipcar card. In most cases, you won't even receive a physical card. Zipcar is all about that digital life, and you'll use their mobile app to unlock the vehicles.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.![]()
However, if you're feeling particularly old-fashioned (or just misplaced your phone under a pile of dragon scales), you can request a physical Zipcar card for free (up to one per year). Just be warned, replacing a lost card comes with a small fee, so treat it with the respect it deserves (unlike that mischievous house-elf who keeps hiding your wand).
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.![]()
Now that you're a certified Zipcar sorcerer, get out there and explore! Remember, with great car-sharing power comes great responsibility. Be a courteous driver, return the car sparkling clean (no unicorn dust, please!), and avoid using it for any interdimensional travel (unless you've got the proper permits).
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.![]()
So ditch the broomstick, grab your phone (and maybe a road trip playlist), and welcome to the wonderful world of Zipcar!
