The partnership with SNCF will offer Zipcar members and SNCF frequent travellers the opportunity to complete their journey with a Zipcar on arrival at their designated station. 

With a roll-out planned at 25 stations over summer 2015, the partnership will enable Zipcar to cover all major cities in France.

 The initiative will be rolled out to SNCF frequent travellers in the form of a mobile application called ‘IDpass’. This application will provide SNCF members with instant access to book a number of transport options ‘on the go’. Zipcar members will also benefit with enhanced access to Zipcars across France.

Massimo Marsili, president, Zipcar International, said: "We are proud to partner with SNCF today to help bring progressive mobility solutions to the French market. The unique combination of our scalable technology platform, combined with our dedication to working closely with transport stakeholders in the cities we operate, has enabled us to build a scalable and consistent offering that forms a critical part of the solution to the transport issues we face in our major cities across the world today." 

Zipcar added that the SNCF partnership further demonstrates its commitment to France and its international expansion.  Following its launch in Turkey this month, Zipcar is now available in seven countries, 470 towns and cities, 400 universities and over 40 airports across the world.
