If you haven’t used the service prior to downloading the Android app, you can also check out car models near the area.

- Reserve Zipcars around the corner or across the globe
- Find cars by time available, car type and model
- View, extend or cancel reservations on the go
- Honk your Zipcar’s horn with your Android phone to find it in a crowd
- Unlock and lock your Zipcar with your Android phone after scanning your Zipcard at the start of each reservation
As far as what you can do with your membership, it seems like the app has it all covered. If you’re interested in downloading the app, you can find it a the Zipcar website linked below.
