Car club for Southwark
Published 4 May 2010
Southwark Council has teamed up with the UK's largest car club, Streetcar.
Over the next three months Streetcar will introduce almost 100 on-street bays across Southwark.
A car club offers you the convenience of being able to use a clean, modern and reliable vehicle for those trips you cannot do by using public transport, cycling or walking.
They provide a convenient alternative to using a privately owned vehicle because car club members only pay for what they use and therefore do not have to worry about tax, insurance, parking permits, servicing or repairs. There are none of the hassles of owning and maintaining a car.
Cars are reserved online or by phone, and can be collected and returned 24/7 using a high-tech smartcard. You can use a car for as little as 30 minutes or as long as six months.
Each car has its own dedicated bay where you will pick-up and return your vehicle. They are placed in areas where they are easily accessible for residents and businesses. It's our ambition to ensure that there is a car club bay within five to ten minutes walk of each of household.
