2. Use the mobile app to lock and unlock the car. The keys should always remain inside the vehicle.
   • Note: Some members may have physical Zipcars, that will also allow you to lock and unlock the vehicle.
3. Before you start driving, inspect the car inside and out. Make sure to report any problems to Zipcar via the iPhone or Android app.
4. There is a gas card inside every Zipcar (in the visor above the driver’s seat) that should be used to pay for gas.
5. When returning you Zipcar make sure to return it at its home location on time, clean, and with at least 1/4 tank of gas to avoid extra fees.
