Been a Zipcar member for close to 9 years now. Pre Pandemic I was on the $75 a month plan with $75 a month in driving credit. Now I just pay $7 a month to keep the account open for emergencies, I haven't rented from Zipcar in a over a year.
I think the time that it takes is how long to get their card which I still think is needed for start and ending the rental. I've used the app mid-rental to lock and unlock the car and only once did it not register and unlock the ignition and I needed the card.
If you can go to a local office to apply and/or get the card or allowed to use your old card if you have might speed up the process.
They always have extra cards usually in the spare tire well if your card stops working mid rental.
For a 24 hour weekday rental in NYC I'm getting $85-$87 or $14.50/$15.50 an hour and that is without all the taxes. Highest is a CRV at $16 or $90 a day.
Sorry no current experience, just what I can look up.
