Information about what car clubs are and how they benefit the city.
A car club offers a flexible alternative to private car ownership. Members can rent vehicles by the hour or day, paying only for the time used. This is a convenient option for those who don't need a car full-time or prefer to avoid the costs and responsibilities of car ownership.
Fewer cars on the road can alleviate traffic congestion. When people share cars, there are fewer individual vehicles in operation, leading to less traffic and shorter travel times.
One of the major challenges in urban areas is the lack of available parking spaces. Car club members can access cars when needed without owning one, meaning there is less pressure on limited parking resources. This can make it easier for residents and visitors to find.
By promoting shared use, car clubs can lower emissions and help contribute to better air quality. In encouraging shared use, car clubs reduce the number of vehicles on the road, leading to lower emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants. Additionally, both Brighton & Hove car club operators have predominantly low emission fleet.
Car clubs promote sustainable mobility by encouraging individuals to choose when they use a vehicle, more sustainable transportation options or active travel. This shift towards shared transportation and active travel can help to create a more sustainable and resilient city environment.
Two car club operators serve Brighton & Hove: Co-Wheels and Enterprise. These companies offer a range of vehicle options and convenient locations for members to access cars.
