When you start the app, it tells you where you are thanks to the iPhone's GPS and then finds the nearest Zipcar to you. You can book it right there and when you get to the car, there is a button you press on your phone that unlocks it for you!
Right now, it’s telling me there are four cars within one minute’s walking distance. If you can’t find the car, you press another button on your iPhone and it makes the horn beep!
The keys are in the car, but it will only start if it has ensured you are the driver.
