Zipcars are available to RWU students ages 18+, faculty and staff. A Zipcar is, literally, wheels when you want them. With Zipcars parked on campus, all you have to do is decide where you want to go and when. Zipcar’s cutting-edge technology allows you to reserve a car online, or on your mobile device, 24/7.
Low hourly and daily rates include gas, insurance, and 180 miles per day.
RWU Zipcars are located by the Fine Arts Building, across from Maple Hall. To find out more go to the RWU Zipcar site.
Note: the included insurance has a $1000 dollar deductible. A $0 dollar deductible is available if you pay a little more for your membership. See the details on the Zipcar website.
