City Car ClubCity Car Club is the UK’s leading car club organisation and provides a cheaper
and greener alternative to owning a car.
Members of the club have 24/7 access to cars parked on the street in handy locations around eight UK cities. There are over 300 cars in London, Brighton, Bristol, Bath, Norwich, Edinburgh and Birmingham that can be booked by the
hour for less than £5 by both residents and businesses. We hope to add new locations in the near future, see our website for more information.
Bookings can be made directly from the cars at a moments notice, or on the internet at www.citycarclub.co.uk or over the telephone on 0845 330 1234. Cars are parked in designated parking bays and once booked, members gain access with their smart enabled, personal membership card (totally keyless access). Their PIN is entered onto the onboard computer and then just drive away. Journeys made are itemised on a monthly statement.
City Car Club is much cheaper than owning a car because members don’t have to pay for depreciation, insurance, maintenance or parking permits. Petrol is included in the bill as well (the first 50 miles on any day are free) and there is a card in the car if you ever need to fill up.
The savings across a year are substantial and according to RAC figures a motorist driving 4,000 miles a year in a Ford Mondeo would pay around £2,500 on insurance, petrol, maintenance, depreciation, road tax and parking. A City Car doing the same mileage will cost just £1,200.
And being a member of a car club is good for the environment as well. Each City Car replaces 20 privately owned cars on average and generally our members cut down on unnecessary car journeys by 35% after they join.
Across our 300 strong fleet based all around cities around the UK we save 5,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year, the equivalent of 1,325 flights to Australia.
So it saves you a packet, and it saves the planet.
