What is a car club?

A car club is a scheme that allows residents to 'pay as they go' for their car use and use a car when they really need it, without the cost or hassle of owning one.

Benefits

Owning a car can be really expensive when you add up the cost of tax, MOT, servicing, repairs and depreciation and fuel! When you join a car club all these costs are included, so you’ll never be hit by unexpected repair bills and you only pay for the car when you need it, not when it’s sitting on the drive.

For people who don’t use their car every day but still want to drive now and again, giving up your own car and joining a car club instead can deliver big savings.  Users who drive less than 6,000 miles annually could save up to £3,500 a year.

As well as the cost savings, joining a car club also frees you from the hassle of arranging servicing and renewing insurance. You’ll get to drive a smart, clean and reliable vehicle and have use of a dedicated parking bay, so won’t have the hassle of searching for a space.
