Zipcar CarShare Program

The University of Chicago offers a car sharing program through Zipcar so members of the University can have occasional access to a car. Zipcars are available for renting on an hourly or daily basis and can be found at the following parking lots on campus: Chapin, Dorchester, I-House, Lexington, Wells, and The Campus North (Ellis) Garage. Members of the University community who sign up for the Zipcar CarShare program receive a reduced annual fee.

To sign up for the program, go to zipcar.com/universities/university-of-chicago to apply. The program is open to all students, faculty, and staff ages 18 and older. Applicants must use their uchicago.edu email address to receive the discount, have a valid driver’s license, and pay with a credit card. Once you’re a member, Zipcar will send you a card that provides access to its cars. Members can reserve a car online or by phone and then use the card to gain entry into the car.
