On-Campus Car Rentals

Zipcar

Short-term car rentals are available through Zipcar. You can conveniently rent cars from an on-campus station or from a nearby location within walking distance. On-campus Zipcars are located in the South Parking Garage (7th Street). 

How It Works

Pay for an annual membership, and you can rent any available car by the hour or by the day. To become a member, you have to be 18 years of age with a valid driver's license. Students and employees can receive a discount on memberships when signing up with their SJSU email address. The reservation rate includes gas and insurance on the vehicles. For more information on how it works and to sign up, visit Zipcar's website.

There are 4 Zipcars located in the South Garage. The rates depend on the type of vehicle.

Flat Rate Only

Flat Rate Only vehicles offer the opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to take longer trips on the weekends or during holidays. These vehicles are designed to increase availability by removing the ability for members to book short hourly trips.

Flat Rate Only vehicles will be available to reserve for a 24-hour duration starting Friday at midnight through Sunday at 11:59pm. While pricing is designed for longer use reservations, vehicles can be booked for any amount of time in 24-hour increments at the flat rate. Members should look for the blue "Flat Rate Only" label when making a reservation. For more information you can check out the FAQ page.
