The UK’s first entirely electric pay-per-use car club, E-Car Club, have launched a car club service in Watford in partnership with Watford Borough Council.
Dorothy Thornhill, Elected Mayor of Watford, said: "I would really encourage our residents to join the E-car club - it's a flexible and affordable way to get around, and it supports our green travel aims. Reducing emissions and traffic in the town can only be a good thing!
It is one of the first schemes of its kind and aims to increase people’s transport options in and around the town, giving them an alternative, more sustainable way to travel that will help save money and reduce emissions.
E-Car Club cars will complement Watford Borough Council’s vehicle fleet with 2 brand new zero-emission Renault Zoe electric cars which will be stationed at the council and Avenue car parks adjacent to the Town Hall and opposite the leisure centre.
The cars will be available to local businesses and residents who can drive them across the county, neighbouring counties and within easy reach of a return journey to London.
Anyone who is 19 or over and has been driving for a year or more, can become an E-Car Club member and hire an E-Car for just £5.50 (including VAT) an hour or £45 per day which includes insurance, unlimited mileage and superb 24/7 customer support. Members can book a vehicle by phone, online or on a smart phone and an E-Car can be reserved for as little as an hour or as long as several days.
The scheme will provide access to a low cost, low carbon car, without the hassle of owning one.
Join at E-car Club before 30 December 2014 and get 50% discount on your one-off lifetime membership fee by using the code “WFPR1311”.
