Hi all,

I am not in London but am going to be selling my car at the end of the month to sort out closing off any finance/insurance, etc on the car.

I’ll be getting a new car at the end of September I think, but between august and September I’m not going to have a car.

I was looking at the enterprise car club as an option, as I may need a car once per week in September to get to Milton Keynes, I wasn’t sure if there were other similar schemes that you all would recommend?

Specified earlier I’m not in London as it doesn’t appear Zipcar operates in my town, so that is for sure out but open to suggestions on short term coverage! :)

Thanks

I’ve been using Enterprise for years - perfect for when you don't want to have a car! Depends on the lifestyle you want - works lovely for me :)

I suppose it might depend on mileage - they reckon it's as cheap to get an Uber as to run your own car (source: Uber, probably).

I hadn’t thought of Uber but if car club is like £10 per hour then I think it would work out cheaper as I’d need the car for about 3 hours once a week… I’m going about 24 miles and I think an Uber would be £20is each way…. If it were closer it wouldn’t be a bad shout though.
