Members' Stories: Weekends Away
We already know our members love road trips, and we’ve got you covered with the top UK road trip destinations, so let’s take a look at how many of our members put our recommendations to use. Check out these stories from our community about taking a weekend break with Zipcar.
Alternative beaches
"I borrowed a Zipcar to go to Dungeness for the day with my partner. We had one of the best days ever visiting the seafood shack outside and wading into the sea. Dungeness is such a cool and unique place, it feels like being on holiday! We wouldn’t have been able to get there so easily and quickly without Zipcar, which we picked up from right behind my partner’s house so kudos to you Zipcar for making my day at the seaside possible!"
Louis, Hackney
Soaking up the sun
"On one of the incredibly hot days back in June, both me and my husband took the day off and decided to take our two year old son to the beach! Coming from a hot country and usually being at the beach most of the summer, we both missed it so much and wanted our son to experience some sand between his toes. We don’t own a car so Zipcar was the perfect solution and off we drove to the beach to have the most wonderful day in the sun, water and finished with perfect fish and chips. Definitely the best day of the year so far and we couldn't have done it if it wasn't for Zipcar!"
Shani, Barnet
Brighton beach
"I went to Brighton with my family and it was my first time visiting ever! My daughter is only 6 months and we all had fun driving there and enjoying the beach! Zipcar brought my family together."
Jose, Bromley
Lake District weekends
"My most memorable Zipcar journey was a holiday to the lake district with my mates. It was just a really nice drive across the country with my friends singing car karaoke the whole way!"
Jason, Southwalk
Mayfield lavender farm
"Our most memorable journey was to Banstead to go and see Mayfield lavender farm. It was memorable because it was so beautiful but also because we wouldn't have been able to go there without Zipcar."
Karen, Wandsworth
Escape to the country
"I've used Zipcar mostly for practical journeys - moving house, taking the cat to the vets, helping my mum house-hunt. But during the last few months of lockdown, we've used Zipcar to get out of London for some fresh air. We've been on hikes in the countryside and to the seaside that we wouldn't have been able to otherwise, so thank you Zipcar!"
Alex, Lewisham
Weekends at Whitstable
"My most memorable trip was going on a day trip to Whitstable on my birthday for lunch and a stroll along the beach. When we parked at Whitstable we weren’t the only Londoners to have the idea as there were 3 other Zipcars in the car park!"
Laura, Wandsworth
