Join the Club – a Neighbourhood Car Ready When You Are!

For many people, owning a car has long been seen as a necessity. However, as towns and cities become better connected and there is a greater emphasis on sustainability, car clubs offer a flexible alternative. Drivers can pay to use a vehicle only when they need it, without being tied to car ownership.

As a result, residents can travel more efficiently, reduce costs and minimise their environmental footprint.

A flexible alternative

Whether it’s commuting to work, meeting friends, or travelling into town, sustainable transport options such as walking, cycling and public transport are often the most convenient choice.

However, there may be times when a car is needed. For example, for a larger shopping trip, a family visit or a weekend getaway. That’s when residents can sign up to a car club, book a vehicle through an app and pay only for the time they use it.

This approach helps to reduce overall vehicle ownership and mileage. As a result, it creates a more efficient and environmentally friendly way of travelling. It also opens up a wider choice of new homes and locations to consider calling home.

Convenience right on your doorstep

Another advantage of a car club is having access to a vehicle without needing to own one.

With dedicated vehicles located on-site, residents can enjoy:

• A vehicle available right where they live
• Access to modern, up-to-date models
• Flexible hire by the hour or by the day
• 24/7, 365-day access
• Easy booking and vehicle unlocking through a smartphone

Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or planning a weekend away, a car club gives you the flexibility to travel on your terms.

In addition, owning a car comes with a range of ongoing costs, from fuel and insurance to servicing and breakdown cover. Car club members benefit from rates that typically include fuel costs, damage protection and breakdown assistance, meaning fewer unexpected expenses.

Car club benefits at selected developments

Available at selected developments, residents can take advantage of convenient car club schemes, providing access to a vehicle without the expense of ownership.

At Stories Wharf in East London, residents can enjoy three years’ free membership plus £50 driving credit when they join. Meanwhile, buyers at Parkside Triangle in Waddon benefit from two years’ free membership, worth £120, along with £50 driving credit on subscription*.

Supporting greener communities

Car clubs play an important role in creating more sustainable neighbourhoods. By reducing the number of privately owned vehicles, developments can benefit from less congestion.

Consequently, fewer parked cars can help create:

• More space for landscaping and community areas
• Safer, more pedestrian-friendly streets
• Improved air quality
• Reduced carbon emissions

By encouraging walking, cycling and public transport for everyday journeys while still providing easy access to a vehicle when needed, car clubs help residents enjoy the best of both worlds.

Ultimately, by reducing reliance on car ownership, car clubs are helping shape the future of more sustainable neighbourhoods while offering convenience and flexibility for residents.
