Schemes such as the Enterprise Car Club have lots of benefits for those joining, including:

  • users having the option to rent cars by the hour or for the whole day.
  • enabling access to newer, more environmentally friendly vehicles
  • removing the costs and hassle of vehicle ownership (including certain requirements associated with tax, MOT, fuel, insurance, servicing and repairs)
  • allowing people to avoid vehicle depreciation costs
  • decreasing household parking expenses
  • helping users to try EVs without the need to purchase one
  • providing access to employment opportunities and services where public transport is less viable
  • allowing access to a choice of vehicles to suit the requirements of a particular journey
  • cars based at Swingate (SG1 1RU), close to the railway station which will enable people who arrive by train to easily access a car for the final part of a journey
