Setting up a Department Account
6 confidential
What is a “department administrator” on a Zipcar account?– The person who sets up the departments account is designated as the
“department administrator.” – They’re kind of like the Zipcar ambassador for your department.
As an department administrator, you’ll need to: – Inform employees about the account.– Approve new members on the account. – Remove members from the account, if necessary. – Access the account invoice. – Manage account payment information.– Verify account use for business purposes (not personal use).

Can an account have more than one department administrator?– Yes, you can set up multiple people within your department
as Zipcar administrators. – Having multiple administrators is helpful for things like:
• Ensuring new members are approved in someone’s absence.• Allowing finance to access Zipcar’s online invoices.• If you would like to add a coworker as a department administrator,
please contact Zipcar at 866.494.7227. • Please note that only a current administrator can add another
administrator.
