Need a car? Borrow a Zipcar! Northern Illinois University has partnered with Zipcar to bring self-service, on-demand car sharing to the area. To use a Zipcar, simply register as a member, reserve a car online or by phone, use your Zipcard to enter the car and drive away. When you’re done, return the car to the same location where you picked it up.

You can find Zipcars in Lot X north of Patterson Hall and Lot 15E, at the Campus Recreation Center.
