First, check the current list of administrators to see if your department already has an account. If not, propose the idea to your leadership and choose a Departmental Zipcar Administrator.

The Zipcar administrator must:

• Have purchasing authority or a department Pro-Card.
• Be a state-approved driver who can be authorized to drive under the departmental account. Go to Business Services for information on driver authorization.

The designated administrator must apply for approval through Transportation Services.

Transportation Services will review the request and ensure the administrator understands the university’s usage and billing guidelines.

Once Transportation Services approves the request, they will send the administrator’s details to Zipcar. A Zipcar representative will then reach out to the administrator to:

• Set up the official account.
• Explain how to manage payments and driver approvals.
• Coordinate membership cards.

After the account is live, the administrator can authorize specific employees to drive.

• Authorized employees will receive a special web link to apply for their individual memberships.
• Zipcar will mail membership cards directly to these drivers.

Once drivers receive their cards, they can reserve and use Zipcars for any approved business purposes.
