Car club
Introduction
We have joined forces with Streetcar, the UK's leading car club operator, to expand the network of cars available for public use across the borough.
What is a car club?
A car club is a membership scheme that offers people use of a car on a pay-as-you-go basis, from £4.95 per hour for VW Polos or £5.95 per hour for VW Golfs.
The scheme saves you the additional costs and inconvenience of owning or using your own car, and means that you have easy access to a car for those occasional journeys when you need one.
A number of club cars are parked across an area so that members are close enough to walk to one easily.
Membership of a car club isn't suitable for all people, but if you don't use a car very often it can be an attractive alternative to car ownership, or to having a second car in the household. Car club members tend to drive only when they really need to - much less than car owners - so having a club in the borough can help cut car use overall.
Streetcar
Our contract with Streetcar increases the number of car club vehicles available across the borough. It involves the allocation of 20 dedicated parking bays for the exclusive use of Streetcar vehicles.
Cars in these bays form part of Streetcar's wider network of more than 100 vehicles parked across the borough including vans, 7-seaters and premium cars (BMW 3 series). As of March 2010 more than 8,000 Wandsworth residents were Streetcar members, and the number continues to grow rapidly.
