![]() ![]() ![]() Most car clubs in the borough use on-street car club parking bays. Every single space used by a car club is really a parking space that is used by several residents rather than just one. In some cases this means they sell an existing vehicle while in others they may defer purchase of a car they would otherwise have bought. This is because some people who join the club will do so in preference to private car ownership. When new car club bays or vehicles are introduced some residents might be concerned about 'losing' an on-street parking space to the car club, but research (Carplus/CoMoUK) has consistently shown that car clubs lead to there being fewer cars parked in an area. The charity CoMoUK (formerly Carplus) has published evidence on the benefits of using a car club (CoMoUK website). Zipcar Flex also offers a chance to try electric vehicles. Car club members tend to drive only when they really need to – much less than car owners – so having a club in the borough can help cut car use overall. Membership of a car club is not suitable for all people, but if you do not use a car very often it can be an attractive alternative to car ownership, or to having a second car in the household. We have teamed up with three car club operators – Enterprise Car Club, Ubeeqo and Zipcar - to provide cars in dedicated car club bays all over the borough, so that car club members are close enough to walk to one easily.Īpart from clubs using dedicated car club parking bays, there are also car club vehicles available through Zipcar’s Flex scheme, which includes a proportion of electric vehicles. These schemes can save you the additional costs and inconvenience of owning or using your own car, and mean that you have easy access to a car for those occasional journeys when you need one. A car club is a membership scheme that offers people use of a car on a pay-as-you-go basis. ![]()
