THERE’S greater choice for car sharing in London’s home to parliament: Westminster.
Westminster City Council is broadening its agreement with Zipcar to offer one-way car sharing.
Available from early July, Westminster residents will be able to access Zipcar Flex and Zipcar Roundtrip through the Zipcar app:
Zipcar UK General Manager Jonathan Hampson said:
“Zipcar has been working with Westminster since 2009, and so we are absolutely delighted to be able to further extend our partnership. Since 2009 nearly 12,000 Westminster residents have discovered car sharing with us.
“We are excited that Westminster City Council shares our ambition to build on what has been achieved and to further grow adoption of this important concept as an alternative to car ownership in the borough. With the introduction of Zipcar Flex, I have no doubt at all that we will do just this.”
Zipcar Flex is a one-way, ‘drive & drop’ service. It costs 29p per minute and is capped at £12 per hour, best suited to spontaneous one-way trips around London.
Westminster is the 10th London borough to sign up to Zipcar Flex. It is also available in Wandsworth, Tower Hamlets, Islington, Lewisham, Southwark, Hackney, Merton and Waltham Forest.
Zipcar Roundtrip has 185 cars and vans in dedicated, Car Club only bays in Westminster for use over weekend or shopping trips.
