The London borough of Greenwich has appointed City Car Club as its car-sharing partner in an attempt to improve local residents access to sustainable transport.
Enterprise-owned City Car Club will operate 27 vehicles from parking bays across the borough, with 25 cars and two vans, however it said it plans to "expand its presence across Greenwich in the coming months".
City Car Club said it has more than 9000 members in London and more than 30,000 subscribers across the UK, while the parent company has more than 380 car hire branches across the UK.
City Car Club replaces Zip Car Club as the borough's sole car sharing provider. Members of the previous car club will receive free membership to City Car Club for three years following the appointment.
"We were one of the first boroughs to offer a car sharing service and we want to continue to encourage as much uptake as possible. Joining a car club is a great way of saving on the costs of car ownership and is more environmentally friendly," said Danny Thorpe, Royal Borough of Greenwich cabinet minister for regeneration and transport.
"Car clubs form an important strand of our efforts to encourage people to look at the whole range of transport options open to them - be it walking, cycling, using public transport, or when needing to use a car, considering whether a car club would suit them. There are huge benefits to being in a car club so I urge residents to consider whether it would work for them," said Thorpe.
