The word is quite literal. It's a car that is zipped. It just doesn't move. You use an app or website to rent it and drive it around. BUT... when it's time to pick up the car, that's right... it's zipped! The app stops working. You will be unable to unlock the car with the app. Then you wait for a few more days, for your refund, and a shiny new physical "ZipCard". You can use this card to unlock your Zipcar because the app can't unlock it, remember? Now... when you do manage to unlock this zipcar with your zipcard, the car is smelly, dirty, low on gas, and guess what... with a dead battery. Now you can't drive it, with a card, app or any kind of magic. Tomorrow you try again with another car, without a dead battery, and guess what? This time the "Zipcard" stops working. So such a car is a Zipcar. It just stays zipped. You can only look at it, touch it, admire it and curse it. It will zip you up to parking lots.
Hey, today I DO NOT feel like driving, so I will book a Zipcar, so that I can look at it, but NOT drive.

An app where you can rent out cars. The cars are usually either dirty, smelly, or low on gas because of the previous drivers who rented them out. They are located in behind the gates or in a parking lot. Sometimes, have a code panel to enter in. The code is on the app or sent to you your email address. You have to unlock the car with the app. They have bullshit fees like for overnight, under age, and being late to return the vehicle is $50.00.
