You literally were supposed to call them the exact day your contract expired to cancel without penalty or getting automatically renewed. You were also automatically renewed for another 2 years at the end of the day of your last contract day. I signed up for Clearwire in the early days, where the cancellation policy was that if you tried to tell them in advance that you were cancelling, they would terminate it that day, and then nail you with an early cancellation fee. I'm thinking there's a reason why I see a hell of a lot more Car2Go vehicles driving about than yours. And the cancellation method? "Give us a call at 1-866-4ZIPCAR and we will help you out".įuck you, Zipcar.

Zipcar is the exact opposite: the only information about canceling is buried at the end of a FAQ page. (I canceled because I went overseas and then signed up again when I returned.) Part of the reason why I signed up the second time was because of the closing out process the first time: they make it easy to cancel and their attitude is, "Sorry to see you go. Example: I've signed up on two separate occasions with Netflix. An online account should be straightforward to cancel. This is what Zipcar does and it's crappy behavior it's a very visible signal to the customer that what you're interested in is their money, because if you let them know beforehand, as a courtesy, they might - :sharp intake of breath: - cancel their account! And we can't have that now, can we?Īnother example would be how straightforward it is to end the business relationship. (Hi, Progressive!) Say absolutely nothing and just charge my card and you'll make it onto my moneygrubber shitlist. Send me a friendly email saying you're about to make a charge and you'll make me happy. One example, imo, is how a company handles annual, recurring billing.
