Stories from locals

“Zipcar is a fantastic service - simple easy and well priced

Zipcar is a fantastic service; I used it at first sporadically then I joined the club and use the cars every couple of weeks for errands and the odd trip to a dump or visit friends outside London. The car is always clean, located 3 within 5 min walk and it’s allowed us to eliminate the need for a second car combined with the excellent public transport in London. Wish we had far more of this in our council. Ex selling service” – Alex

“I live in central London and it doesn’t…

I live in central London and it doesn’t make financial sense to own my own car and using Zipcar is a cost-effective alternative. The cost includes insurance and every car has a charge card to refuel if necessary. The cars are always current models, with a wide choice of model types. They are well maintained, without the smell of stale tobacco smoke and clean. It’s still cheaper than owning your own car with the cost of maintenance, insurance, fuel, road tax and residents’ parking permit.” – Stuart

“Rented a lovely MG today for a very good price. The car was absolutely sound. No issues, smooth and lovely to drive. Would be nice if there was a larger mileage allowance for longer rentals, but the price is so fair so it’s not worth quibbling.
The app is so easy to use. And has good options for every event.” – Terry
