Zipcar

Just past the Grand Concourse on Third Avenue sits Zipcar, one of the city’s original car-sharing services. In the Bronx’s Longwood neighborhood, the address is 3000 3rd Ave, Bronx, NY 10455, close to the BX6 and Bx41 bus loops. Zipcar offers hourly and daily rentals, so a quick errand or a weekend trip starts without the hassle of parking permits or rental counters. Members reserve vehicles by the hour or day through an app, then unlock with a tap of the member card. Behind each reservation is a mixed fleet of sedans, SUVs, and vans parked in dedicated spots across the borough. Insurance, gas, and basic maintenance are included, letting drivers focus on the route rather than paperwork. Off-peak returns keep the system flowing and spots available, so cars cycle efficiently through the neighborhood. To join, drivers simply upload their license and payment details; once approved, they can book on the spot. The (866) 494-7227 line stays open for account questions and support, handling everything from lost cards to trip changes. Add the map to your phone before your first pickup: use the directions.
