Islington residents and businesses will soon have access to a new car club, with the recent appointment of Streetcar for on-street car club parking bays in Islington.
Councillor Bridget Fox, executive member for sustainability, said:
"Islington has the largest car club in the country and it's a service we are keen to keep improving. Car clubs are a great alternative for people who need a car occasionally but don't want the expense and hassle of car ownership.
“Streetcar are offering members a great deal. There’s no monthly fee, you get 30 miles free mileage each day and existing members will get free lifetime membership.
“I’m delighted with how the car club has taken off in Islington and we are looking forward to extending the new service and opening the car club up to new members."
Streetcar offer current car club members:
· no monthly membership fee
· a daily charge of £35 for a weekday
· low lifetime membership fee of £25
· comparable usage rates, including 30 miles free each day or part of a day
· a user-friendly booking system
Streetcar are also offering existing lifetime members of CityCarClub free lifetime membership to Streetcar (value £25).
Streetcar will take over the management of the 23 on-street car club parking bays in Islington as of 1 April 2006, when the current contract with CityCarClub (formerly Smart Moves) ends.
