Car clubs offer their members access to vehicles flexibly and affordably, as-and-when needed.
Car clubs typically offer cars (and sometimes vans) for hire by the hour, which can be booked at short notice or in advance. Vehicles can be picked up from the parking space where they are based, and returned there when you’re done. Car clubs usually have websites and apps which show where vehicles are available and when, and allow self-service booking. Some car clubs also support booking by telephone.
There is normally a simple fee based on how long you have the vehicle and how far you drive, which is inclusive of fuel, insurance and any other costs (but check the specific terms and conditions with the car club you’re using when making your booking). There may be a membership fee too, paid monthly or annually, to be a member of the car club.
The council is working to attract car clubs to the borough and current car clubs in our area can be found on the CoMoUK website:
