Join the (Electric) Car Club
Riding a bike or using public transport may not be right for every journey
A car club gives you flexible and hassle-free access to an electric car or van whenever you want.
- Book by the hour or day, in advance or on the go.
- Only pay when you use it.
Simply book the car, pick it up from a convenient location, drive away and drop it off when you have finished. Payments are processed automatically.
There are two car clubs in Greater Manchester, that also give access to vehicles across the country:
