My spouse subscribed to Zip car in Feb 2022. Used it once during that month, but left the subscription on inadvertently as we were caught up in a long drawn family medical issue. Did not recognize the recurring charges on the credit card as it came up garbled on the CC statement ( Sep 20, 2022 SEP-I-Z-35969529 Etobicoke, ON $13.55). We never realized it was a Zipcar recurring subscription billing. Tried to call my credit card to cancel this but they said the card will have to be cancelled and replaced - this was a bummer as there were other regular payments on the cards. ( We should have disputed the charge and cancelled in hindsight!) In December 2022 the CC the recurring billing showed up as ZipCar. (Jan 30, 2023 Zipcar Premium Protect Etobicoke $13.55) Finally called Zipcar yesterday and cancelled. Requested a refund for the months not used as their billing name was incorrectly provided on the statement. Obviously they did not agree citing their 'POLICY'. They did give a couple of months refund. But I paid $150 in services not used!! I told them about their mistake in 'camouflaged' charges on my card but their 'POLICY' overrode all my arguments (Like a commandment - "Thou shall not return monies to customer once in our bank account") . Lessons learned : - use one card to subscribe to all your services and auto payments. - check if the vendor's name shows up correctly and check how to unsubscribe. - credit cards will not help you with unsubscribing. Even if you cancel your card and replace, most probably the charge will continue on your new card ( please check). IMO, several subscription services that we do not need are gnawing away at your money in small mouse size bites. Subscribers be aware and take action ......

We've been with Zipcar for 9 years ! 9 years! Today was the end of our long tumultuous relationship. My husband and I have depended on them off and on. And we have finally ended our horrendous horrible relationship with them. The most recent was this thanksgiving weekend. Car was rented and confirmed and when we showed up. The scanner wouldn't work. Trying again and again then finally calling customer service. They were not helpful at ALL ! We had plans for the weekend. Hotel reservations booked. Family dinners confirmed. Unbelievable! There was nothing they could do. NOTHING ! The worst customer service. And NO quality control. DO NOT sign up with Zipcar. This is a warning. ! This was our final experience with them. And this is not to mention any of our other problems we've had in the past- They switched our SUV reservation for a cottage vacation to a compact car without notifying us. My husband had to travel to a different location further away to pick up a new SUV rental. The scanners/swipe cards work intermittently. - cars in horrible conditions / dirty, pet hairs / smells Smokey - very often the car is damaged. We had to drive 2 hrs to visit family with the front bumper held together with zip-ties. How ironic.

Email from the "reliable" Zipcar customer support.

Kensington Market

Amazing experience getting my tires mounted. They quoted $100 on the site and when I went to pay,…read morethey said it would be more, but I showed them The $100 and they honoured the price. It was also only about an hour. The even offered To pay for an uber home and back, which I declined. At first, I was disappointed with the shop years ago when I had visited it a few times in the past, mainly because they gave me estimates of many things that needed to be done, (which I agreed with) and while their prices are very competitive, they would not bring the price down if I went ahead with multiple repairs. (Let's say, AC plus spark plugs) - I felt if I was taking more Business to them, they should reward me by discounting some of the labour. That being said, one-off jobs are very good prices and they're so organized and nice. And despite the obscene quotes they've given me for work needed in the past, the quotes are still much better than other garages (on a per job basis) so it may just be that if I get work done here in the future, I'll just have to do one item at a time, because it seems there's no discount or reward for stacking multiple jobs in one session. Thanks for your great service. I look forward to returning.

Unfortunately I had to bring my car into a car mechanic shop…read more But that's okay, Kensington automotive was easy to deal with, prices were fair and for me the turnaround was only one day. On a second occasion I also rented a car with them on Turo for a trip. Easy communication, everything was smooth. Definitely recommend them if you don't already have a mechanic you trust.
