Zipcar ceases operations in London

This would catastrophic for me, I use Zipcar regularly and it such an energy efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to owning a car, l hope this decision will be reversed, because so many of us rely on Zipcar.

My son needs to stop doing football as I cannot bring him to training sessions and matches anymore.

I live in London and got rid of my car when I moved to the city. I have used Zipcar for moving house several times and for getting out of the city for weddings, day trips and other visits. Zipcar leaving would mean I need to travel further to use shared vehicles or wouldn't be able to access them at all.

Disappointed &:financial disaster

I am now going to have to buy a car.

No idea how we will continue to use the tip for our garden waste and recycling items the Council will not collect

It's going to be a big drag if Zipcar ceases trading - the Flex option is essential for when I need to run certain errands or do deliveries. I'm gutted it's closing - no other service comes close.

Zipcar has been an absolute Godsend. So easy to use, availability is excellent and the choice of vehicles is really useful. I’m very disappointed with this news.

Significant inconvenience as we had a local zipcar just a few minutes away. Now the nearest enterprise car club car is 20mins away. We are now seriously considering purchasing car as we have a child and the increased time planning required to account for the 25 min collection time (walking and driving back to the house) is going to be very inconvenient.

Zipcar was so useful as a couple who didn’t need a car every day, but maybe once a week for quick trips. Car sharing feels like the future for more sustainable cities.

I’ll consider buying a car or will have to rent from other companies which means more travelling to and from those places.

It’s a huge step back: the ability to live in London and not have to own a car, but do the environmentally responsible thing and share cars while still being able to run chores and go on day trips out, all of which is impractical with traditional car rental services.

I use it for taking my child to and from football matches and training. They are often in locations far from public transport. It’s a real loss to me. Now I have no choice but to use an expensive Uber or take a slower public transport and walk combination.

So sad Its so difficult to get around now

Closing Zipcar would seriously affect my daily life, my studies and my ability to work. I’m a student nurse who relies on Zipcar to travel to hospital placements that are not easily accessible by public transport, especially early mornings, late finishes and weekend shifts. Nursing placements don’t follow normal 9–5 hours and public transport is often unreliable, slow or unsafe during those times. Zipcar allows me to get to placements on time, well-rested and able to provide safe patient care. I also use Zipcar to travel to paid healthcare work, university activities, and volunteering. Without Zipcar, I would lose income opportunities and struggle to meet basic living costs while studying. Taxis and car hire are too expensive, and buying a car is impossible as a full-time student. Zipcar is the only affordable and flexible option that fits around a healthcare rota. Beyond work, Zipcar gives me independence, safety and dignity. It allows me to do essential things like grocery shopping, attending appointments, and supporting family without relying on others. It has been a lifeline during placements in unfamiliar areas, especially as a young woman travelling alone. Closing Zipcar would not just be an inconvenience as it would directly impact my education, my finances, my wellbeing and ultimately the patients I care for. Please do not remove a service that so many healthcare workers, students and local residents depend on. Thank you

I use zip car to commute between jobs especially in the city centre. Now we must be a car !

It removes a really useful and convenient option from my travel planning

It was the only reliable option to move big objects like furniture, in an affordable way. Now, I'll have to double-think it because of the high cost of van rental...

My partner uses zipcar to take me to my hospital appointments (i have to attend hospital every week) and to go food shopping as i am unable to use public transport due to longterm disability

It is a massive shame and will create a huge gap in our lives. We don't want to own a car, and only use one occasionally for shopping for bulky items, going to the tip, and leisure activities where public transport is inconvenient, but I can see feeling pressure to have one over time as we get older if no alternative is found. I don't know how we would have managed our recent housemove without Zipcar, and all the associated hassles of this. This is a real failure of London government and regulatory policy

Transport for London should consider running a car share system. The technology is these to run an efficient car sharing system integrated into the current public transport of London. Why not take over Zipcar for the purpose? Are we too scared to imagine this could be part of a public service? This is 2026 not 1986.

Another disappointment from this Mayor...I do not have a car but regrettably the mayor's decisions are forcing to purchase one

Loss of freedom and flexible, and an affordable means of car travel when that is inevitable.

We use zipcar to pick up.oit children from their after school activities and taking them to competitions far from our home. It will be devastating to lose access to zipcar.

Absolutely disruptive. I've been relying on Zipcar to collect free or cheap building materials fom sites for my house projects. Materials that would have ended up in landfill.

Hi I joined Streetcar soon after it was set, up and stayed a loyal member when Zipcar took over. I am a decorator and Zipcar has allowed me to run my business for 20 years without needing to own a car. I am looking at other car share possibilities but may have to buy a car now.

Need to buy a car

Not having flexibility to use a car/van for occasional use. I don’t have a car but do occasionally need one and so this will have a big negative impact

Zipcar closing is a massive loss, making it too expensive/prohibitive to do things like moving flats without movers, recycling trips, moving larger items in the vans or travelling to harder to get to locations.

It will limit the extent and frequency of which I can visit my family in Sussex. It takes many hours by public transport and only one by car. It will also encourage me to buy a second hand car for short journeys.

Zipcar was integral to me as a film and TV freelancer. It allowed me to start getting production jobs when I didn't have the money or frequency of jobs to get a car of my own. The loss of Zipcar has severely impacted my ability to get work.

My business would lose a lot of money. I use Zipcar and zip and for visiting clients going to work sites, deliveries, collections. It’s integral to the success of my business! A lot of people will struggle and suffer and it will impact them negatively if Zipcar ceases operations. This can’t happen!

The ability to make multimodal journeys, such as cycling to work then onto the school pick up where I can swap into a Zipcar to take my kid home. The ability to use a car when our family car is being used by my wife during school holidays.

I would have no use of a car or van, which is a pain when you have a family.

Easy access to a vehicle to take my mum to hospital and shops

We currently own one vehicle but rely on Zipcar to avoid having to purchase a second vehicle which would otherwise need to be parked on the street for most of the week.

ALOT! It would affect my mobility greatly.

I have been using Zipcar since they started operating in the UK. I owned a car before then and sold it as I realised I was only using it once a week. As a millennial Londoner, Zipcar and their fleet have been by my side during various house moves and odd jobs for work. The city needs an affordable, reliable car sharing scheme.

It means I can’t take my dad who is limited in the house due to his parkinsons. It’s convenient for the days I need it for work and sometimes cheaper than an uber.

No easy access to a car when we need it.

If Zipcar were to close its UK operations, the impact on me would be significant both practically and personally. Practically, Zipcar is more than a rental service it’s my go-to option for: errands that aren’t feasible by public transport weekend trips where trains and tubes aren’t efficient or affordable spontaneous plans without the financial and environmental cost of owning a car Zipcar allows me to access a vehicle only when I need it, without the expense, responsibility, and emissions of ownership. Losing that option would mean: higher transport costs (taxis, private rentals, car ownership, or costly alternatives) less flexibility and convenience, especially for shopping, childcare logistics, or travel to non-central areas greater reliance on cars overall, which contradicts my efforts to minimise my carbon footprint On a personal and lifestyle level, Zipcar has enabled me to balance city living with mobility. Without it: I would feel more restricted, particularly for family and community activities outside central transport routes. I would struggle to maintain the sustainable choices I’ve built into my day-to-day life. I would miss the sense of choice and autonomy it gives planning my week without feeling locked into schedules or costly ownership. For many people in urban areas, Zipcar is a bridge between public transport and private car access. Its closure would not just be the loss of a service it would be a loss of practical freedom, affordability, and sustainable mobility.

This is a tragedy for those of us who do not own a car. Zipcar provided a lifeline to run household errands, access places to which public transport links are not regular, and support others who are in the same position but without a driver's license. By having locally-positioned vehicles, Zipcar created an eco-friendly means to access a car or van locally and flexibly, things that are simply not provided by standard rental firms. While some of us are not in a financial position to own a car, some would simply not use a car most days if they had one. Thus, Zipcar likely kept 'just-in-case' cars from clogging our already crowded neighbourhood streets. With membership numbers in London clearly demonstrating a market for this service, I would strongly encourage Local Authorities and Mayors to investigate the possibility of implementing a local alternative - for example, in Vancouver, Canada, the Evo fleet of vehicles has experienced huge growth in recent years.

Zipcar closing would be very bad news for us. My wife uses a mobility scooter, so using Zipcar means I can drive us to places that are inaccessible by public transport or black cab. Uber vehicles do not accept the scooter. We will try Enterprise, but their fleet has limited availability near where we live in Elephant and Castle. Owning a car is difficult due to lack of parking. We would be willing to pay more for Zipcars as they are so useful.

Using Zipcar is the best alternative to owning a car. Without it, we might need to consider buying a car to compensate which is not ideal. I do hope that Zipcar and affected users are able to come towards a win-win solution. From the looks of it, Zipcar users are willing to pay slightly more per hour to ensure Zipcar can still operate.

I use Zipcar at least twice a week and don’t trust enterprise to fill the void.

Zipcar has been such an integral part of my life for over 10 years. It has been so helpful, (especially zip flex). This is devastating to me

I am furious that zipcar is needing to close, surely it should have been a priority for TfL in line with the mayor's transport strategy to support car club companies to be able to continue to operate?? (I speak as someone who walks and cycles almost everywhere and is very much on board with that agenda). Car clubs are a great alternative to car ownership, Zipcar was so user-friendly, good coverage and very reasonably priced. I used zipvans around 5-6 times a year to take bulky things to the tip, collect compost etc. I now need to make such a trip and am trying to work out what my options are - basically the impact on me will be inconvenience and more expense for trips where I need to hire a car or small van to transport heavy things.

It means I can no longer go to see my grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the midlands. My illness means that I cannot use public transportation so my daughter usually drives me to see the family. I have used Zipcar for so many years. Now I will not be able to visit my family. So very upsetting. It was a lifesaving service in my eyes

I use zipcar very often. I don’t own a car and live in central London, it’s the most efficient way to move furniture, go on small trips. It’s already part of my way of living.

We don't own a car as we manly cycle or use public transport, however Zipcar has been a life safer when we needed a car to bring the cat to the vet or to go on a daytrip outside London, or a van to move house. It will have a big impact on our life, as it will be more expensive, less sustainable and more difficult to do these things going forward.

It will change my life negatively as I won't be able to enjoy the convenience of car sharing.

This is an absolute disaster for us. We have used zipcar locally for years and have always loved its services due to the convenience of the hourly rental. We cannot afford to purchase/keep a car. I’m not sure what we will do from now on.

I often used Zipcar's vans to move stuff around for friends and their cars to occasionally help those less able to make journeys. It will be much harder to do this in future.

Please make it open. It helps me a lot to do shopping with my pregnant wife.

It's a big loss to me as I'm a pensioner who's mother and myself meet up at least once a month mainly to assist her with going shopping independently.

I’ve used them since they first came to the UK. It has meant never needing to own a car, but always having access to one. Honestly it is a disaster for me.

I couldnt afford my car any longer-I only used at the weekends and was limited to use at the weekend due to the congestion charge in london being so rigid and unaffordable. Using zipcar meant i could use for work and leisure at a couple of hours at a time... to people with little money this is a huge blow. Another faether in the cap for the mayor and his ruining London

Doing big shops, visiting friends and activities where transportation can take double the time. More convenient with pets in some occasions

I am a regular Zipcar user. Not having it available in my local area/ borough (Lewisham, London) will have a profound and debilitating impact on my day to day life. I use for work journeys and day to day journeys for my kids and family life (e.g. school runs, their sports clubs and fixtures, and activities, as well as hospital apps for my elderly mother). I will not have an affordable and maneageable way of driving in london. As a single parent and carer, having a zipcar readily available meant I could use a car without the big out lay of buying one. It meant i could budget and plan my trips, enabling a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly way of driving in and outside of london. I now have to look into getting a personal loan so I can buy a car. Additional costs I cannot afford and wanted to avoid. I would have liked to know whether an alternative provider would be put in place. We have been left in limbo and the threat of going into further debt. Why has such a valued service been and established infrastructure been left with no predecessor in place, no handover plan. The Mayor and the local authorities need to step up and plug the aching hole that zipcar's departure will leave.

Devastating. My partner is agoraphobic and the only way she can leave the house is going for drives. We can't afford a car in London, do this is a profoundly sad and challenging blow.

We have a business membership with Zipcar, we use it frequently and have come to rely on it. We briefly tried Enterprise but it was a totally inadequate service by comparison. I would expect every member of Zipcar would happily pay £1 an hour more to use the service if it meant we could continue using the service.

I've been using Zipcar in London since 2021, rather than replacing my car. I switched to public transport, using Zipcar for times when I needed to transport bigger loads or get to inconvenient places more quickly, or late evenings to feel safer as a single woman. I'm seriously thinking of buying another car now, if I can't find an equivalent.

It will massively affect my small business. I use Zipcar multiple times a week and feel really worried about it stopping.

It would mean no more affordable and flexible transport to the airport when public transport is not working...but also impossible for me to go out of town or go shopping to large shopping centres with no public transport access or when I can't carry the purchases in the bus... Zipcar has been a lifesaver in so many occasions that I can't count them and no other car sharing can replace at the moment, as they have fixed parking and don't have airports options or flexible drop off...

I am absolutely gutted that helped everyday to get to work and to take my son football training it was a hod send since my car was write off by my insurance company it was so reliable and flexible I wish it would stay in the Uk it’s a very good service it needed fixing to get it right but it was so easy to sign up and use so please if you can stay in the Uk Iosing zip car would impact my life terribly

We have been relying on Zipcar for just over a year since adopting our senior rescue Lurcher, Dotty. We don’t know much about her past but Dotty has some scars on her head and is reactive to other dogs so we can’t let her off the lead in London parks. We use Zipcar a minimum of once a month to do an hour round trip to a private dog paddock where Dotty can run free off lead, without the risk of any other dogs being nearby. It’s amazing to watch her run. We were so lucky to have so many options for round trip cars via Zipcar, each just a short walk away from us - pretty much all we needed to do was get up, get Dotty ready and pack our trusty hammock for her to sit on (to protect the car and keep it nice for other users). We live in London so keeping a car is not a particularly practical option - and, living in an already polluted city, car sharing is much more in line with our values. I was devastated when I found out Zipcar was closing its UK operations - I frantically looked for alternative car sharing options but there is nothing that meets our needs like Zipcar did. Unfortunately, we think we will need to bite the bullet and buy a car so we can continue to give out old girl the best life possible!

I’m really saddened don’t know what I should have t say for this sadly news came out

Zipcar was so useful. I don't drive enough to justify the cost of buying and running a car but this meant I could have a car for a few hours or even minutes to run short errands or a van for a few hours which I did a couple of times a year. I'll just have to manage without now as I can't afford to buy a car.

We use zip car as an alternative to owning our own car. Zipcar is very convenient with there being a good density of cars available across London, with a range of different types and booking options. With zipcar closing we are unlikely to buy our own car, and instead will rely on trains, or less convenient offers from other carclub providers

It removes flexibility to hire a car when needed in situations where public transport is not a viable alternative due to lack of suitable connections or infrequent service.

Devastating

Disaster! Massive disaster! We sold our car because Zipcar was way better. What to do now?

It would make quick Trips around london so much harder. We’re very disappointed.

The loss of Freedom and ability to live a green life. We dont own a car because we believe in using public transport. However we sometimes dont have an option but to use a car. We have weekly 5.30am training sessions on the other side of town and occasional need to move furniture for a few blocks or look after poorly friends and take them to appointments. This is where zipcar has provided the freedom to move when and where required while still living mainly a green life in the city centre. Now, with no alternative to replace zip car, we have no option but to buy a car. That means that we are likely to drive to all 12 training sessions, instead of using public transport for mostof them, given the cost of owning a car already has to be footed anyway.

This is how I have been getting around London, with 3 children including a baby and most times having loads to carry or shopping to do, this is actually a great inconvenience to my life

The impact of zipcar closing is significant. Firstly it will limit the extent to which I am able to safely enjoy the city. I currently use zip car to get home to Leyton from my sisters in Peckham late in the evening after I have looked after her children. This journey will be less safe for me as a result of zipcar closing and the reality is I will not be able to do this as much and support my sister with childcare and valuable family time. Secondly as a single female I will feel less safe taking trips late at night and will modify my choices for enjoying the city and spending money in it. Thirdly the reality is I will likely end up buying a second hand car, adding more vehicles to London streets which would be otherwise unnecessary.

I run property management with my brothers and THREE of us use zipcar, from vans to polos, that's THREE cars less in already heavily congested London, it's a outrageous, London should have at least 3! Carshare schemes similar to zipcar!

I have been using Zipcar since they took over Street Car, and used Street Car for several years before that, so it's been a vital service from my point of view. I'm going to miss it a lot.I'm astonished that car sharing, which is such a positive and ueful service, has been treated in such an offhand manner. I assume that's partly because Zipcar is an international private company, but car sharing is surely something that should be encouraged to expand, not decrease.

I use zipvans to move furniture and help friends move house. Don't know how I'll be able to replace that. I don't want to own a van. There isn't an easy alternative that I know of. I might buy a car, but it won't be as good as the zipcar scheme. It was cheap and really easy to use. Really shocked it's stopping and there won't be an alternative in place.

Increased travel time and costs - particularly for longer journeys.

This is a terrible loss for London. I leased a car but realised it’s not worth it given I had travelled just under 7000 miles in 3 years so when the lease expired I turned to Zipcar and it was perfect. I used them at least twice a week for any errand that was just easier to do in a car. I often travel between south and east London after midnight and it’s much cheaper in a one way car than book an uber and 75% faster than catching 3 night busses. Looks like the only solution now is to buy a car after 18 years of using Zipcar.

Big problem. Need to buy any Old car.

I have relied on Zipcar for many years to run my small gardening and garden design business in London. I do not own a vehicle and cannot realistically do so due to cost, parking restrictions, and storage. Zipcar has been the only workable way for me to transport tools, plants, soil, and materials to client sites when needed, while using public transport the rest of the time. Zipcar has allowed me to operate without owning a car, keeping my costs down and avoiding unnecessary vehicle ownership. It filled the gap between journeys that public transport simply cannot handle and the need to move heavy or bulky items for work. Without it, many everyday jobs become either impractical or financially unviable. The reduction and closure of Zipcar services is already making it harder for me to work. Alternatives are significantly more expensive and far less flexible. This directly affects how many jobs I can take on, where I can work, and whether my business remains sustainable. For small self employed trades like mine, Zipcar is not a convenience. It is essential infrastructure. Losing it pushes people like me closer to car ownership or out of work altogether, despite having tried to live and work in a way that relies primarily on public transport. Without shared car schemes like Zipcar, continuing to run a small business in London becomes far more difficult and, for some, impossible.

Going shopping and buying things I need for my home, that I can’t carry or afford the high delivery charges, or expected to spend more money than attending to, to get free delivery.

very helpful when we aare stuck and it was easy to book etc

Terrible news It's so useful and avoids car ownership

I am saddened about the prospect of ZipCar ceasing its UK operations. I have relied on it instead of owning a vehicle since 2023 in order to reduce my carbon footprint as well as to cut costs. I have found ZipCar to be a good workable alternative to owning a private car and I feel positive about the environmental impact of this decision. My family don’t have the need for a car more than once or twice a month, and we would typically use a ZipCar to transport heavy items from the garden centre to our allotment, or to drive across London to visit relatives, or for a family day out. Sometimes with young children it’s a struggle to manage on public transport, particularly with luggage and it was really useful to have this convenient and affordable option for driving when necessary.

It’s a disaster really. It’s profoundly convenient and well priced, especially the cars and the big vans are hugely useful. A member since Streetcar days - I have relied on Zipcar over 15 years. Has meant I’ve never even considered buying a car. Revolutionised trips for me. Shopping trips, runs to the tip. ..use public transport and with Zipcar there when we need it (for journeys that public transport is bad for, for day trip / weekends, and go to the garden centre/tip etc. Without Zipcar means I become more isolated, I wont be able to visit the places I did or do some of the jobs I did. Used a ZipCar van to move between apartments in my local area. One of many use cases for this service. Without it I would have needed to hire an expensive removal company which would have been difficult during this difficult time on household finances. I would use Zipcar to make trips to see family that are further away making that quite difficult. Affordability and ease of use, coupled with the reliability, the fact they are always there, the reassurance of being able to make a last minute plan come to fruition at a reasonable price, I am very anxious about the news and I urge the government to step in and save Zipcar from leaving the UK. The people of London need Zipcar! PLEASE

It means losing access to easy ways to move house, pick up second hand furniture and occasional trips outside of London that aren't easily accessible by train. There aren't good alternatives with a big fleet of cars that have the convenience of being on the doorstep and the big hire car companies are always weirdly far from public transport hubs too. Genuinely wondering whether we should buy a car even if that seems crazy for the few times a year we actually need one.

We live in central london and have given up our car and rely on zipcar. We have freedom passes so largely travel on public transport (tube/bus) but have found one way flex hire extremely useful when picking up items from shops or dropping off things to our daughters. zipcar has meant we have felt very little inconvenience of not having our own car on the doorstep. We are fortunate that we can afford to buy a car.

I am disabled and my disabilities are ‘invisible’’. When I need to get around - I use Zipcar. I use it at least once a month and sometimes 10 times a month. I don’t like Taxis, or Ubers - I need to be in my own safe, controlled environment. I have sensory issues that affect me randomly - so I will have days where I can’t face the public on public transport. I’d have to cancel my plans, if I wasn’t able to get a zipcar. That is not an exaggeration. Driving on my own, in a zipcar makes me calm and content. Especially if I need to get home fast. I’ve always had a zipcar available to me. I know my personal belongings are with me and I have a barrier to the world when travelling. When my shift was late at night - into night bus hours - I could get home safe at night - by driving back in the Flex. I don’t have a partner, I don’t have a family - I don’t have any support - so Zipcar’s made me feel independent and safe. I can’t believe that they are going. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do. All the other shared car clubs are rubbish. Some locations are miles away. Some are for a full days rental. I don’t need that. Zipcar makes me feel safe 24/7 as I know I can always find one. This shows our country is regressing and in my city of London - I believe the Mayor is a hypocrite. He’s not interested in the environment or getting Londoners moving - I believe he - along with the rest of his party are trying to find ways to generate more income to cover their over spending or reckless spending and it’s backfired in the case of Zipcar. If he or the govt were truly concerned about the needs of its population - they’d ensure that Zipcar was able to exist - especially for low income families, or those with mobility issues. And, especially in this once great city of London - we should have options not restrictions. London is not so great any more - it’s like a weathered old boot that has completely given up on making life pleasant for residents. It costs me £10 a day to travel 30mins across London on dirty public transport, with sometimes - even dirtier passengers. How is that reasonable? I want choice, not limitations. Utterly shameful that the this has happened.

Zipcar met a lot of practical needs where driving is essential and has worked out to be very affordable. When I first opened an account many years ago, it was a replacement for owning a car. Since then, it has helped in multiple ways, especially for travelling to places where transport links are not as accessible. The van option has also helped with transporting furniture, which would be otherwise too expensive to get a man and a van or go down the route of a rental car/van. Not having to pay for the congestion charge, as well as the Dart Charge, Blackwall Tunnel, and Silver Tunnel, are also an excellent benefit. Zipcar will be missed :'(

Zipcar (and previously) Streetcar members for 20+ years, Hackney residents and wholly dependent on accessible affordable local car club use. From transporting children to university to visiting elderly relatives to bulky shopping to refuse centre drop offs to out of town trips especially over bank holidays - we are very concerned about Zipcar’s proposed closure.

I use zipcar roughly 20-25 times per year. These trips vary from shopping to places like Costco, to taking my baby to medical appointments and airport pick up’s and drop offs. I live in a car free development; our next step now is to consider moving somewhere with parking, and adjusting our life away from reliance on public transport. My message for the mayor is “try taking a pram on a bus!”. Once two are on board, typically you have to wait for the next bus, and often multiple more. Zipcar is a lifeline that solves 5-10% of our journeys whilst allowing the remaining to be on the tube, overground, bus or walking. Once that lifeline goes, our whole way of living needs to be re-considered.

We use the London Zipcar service to support our family and local business. We run not for profit food banks and other community projects using Zipcar. Without Zipcar we will either have to hire cars and vans at increased cost, reduce our vehicle usage and community provision or buy a car/van for the business. As a family we will also be considering buying a car until a replacement car share can be identified.

This heavily affects my ability to visit clients in an emergency and get about. I fear it actually may cute off from some of my social interactions as I often use it to visit close friends who live quite away. Due to my anxiety, I get really overwhelmed using the train especially if there are alot of people on board. I'm extremely sad to see them go.

Zipcar was such a convenient way to make journeys not possible/harder with public transport. It was an incredible source of freedom, and enabled me to visit places I otherwise wouldn't.

I would not be able to run efficient deliveries or to fetch my kids in an emergency where they are stuck somewhere. It was so convenient - Really helped a lot -‘we don’t have cars as parking is too expensive. We really needed this. These Avis, and Budget charge too much, deposit is too high and it’s unaffordable to us local residents. Delivery vans are overpriced and illegal con men - once you pay they don’t show or start adding additional tariffs on things you never asked for. This always was the fastest, safest way to get things done and on the road. To be honest we are disappointed.

Enterprise car club removed a lot of their vehicles from the local area. Currently there are two within a 2-3 mile radius from my home. I used Zipcar to commute, take my elderly mother to medical appoints and taking items to the local recycling place. I’ve been a Zipcar owner for 15 years, even when I had my own car. The extension of the congestion zone made owning a car wasn’t viable. Uber taxi prices are ridiculous since pandemic and London black cabs are not as cost effective as they used to be for elderly people.
