How long does Zipcar take to check a driving record?
I signed up for Zipcar so I could rent a car for an upcoming trip, but the process is taking a bit longer than I expected. My trip is in three weeks, so do you think I’ll be good to go by then?

How long Zipcar takes to check a
driving record
depends largely on where you live, so it can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days or even weeks. Some states have DMV information readily accessible, but others may require a lengthy process of phone calls and mailed documents. The initial verification process—which only requires your driver’s license photo, a personal photo, and an online account—can take a matter of minutes. After your driving record is verified and you receive your physical Zipcard in the mail, you can start using Zipcar.
Zipcar will also require you to pick one of their insurance plans, which all meet the minimum requirements for the state. If you want extra protection for any unforeseen accidents, you can always find the most affordable coverage with
