Complaint Type: Consumer to Business Complaint
Nature of complaint: The company has processed an unauthorized credit card charges
Problem description:
I applied for a zipcar account on 12/20/2011 with the understanding that there would be an annual membership fee of $25. My application was subsequently denied. However, Zipcar proceeded with charging me $25 annual
membership fee, not once, but twice on my American Express card. I am furious about this kind of practice. Details of the email dated 12/21/2011 attached below: "We are sorry to inform you that your application to Zipcar was
denied for the following reason: -- Your driving record does not meet our insurance requirements at this time. According to our policy, applicants need to have had no more than 2 "incidents" (moving violations plus accidents) in the past 3 years, no more than one incident in the past 18 months, no alcohol violations in the past 7 years and no major violations in the past 3 years.

#2 General Comment
Not annual charge

There is a 50 dollar annual charge. What you were charged was the application fee which it states on the site and throughout the application that it is non-refundable. The fact that you were charged twice for it I would bring up with the company.

Did you contact ZipCar?
Were the charges removed?
Sounds like a system glitch to me -- and something that any company, Zipcar included, would fix without any hassle. If you're complaining that a company had a glitch and you didn't bother to report it, seriously?
Sounds like you may just be angry that they won't give you an account....
