"On Demand" Car Rentals

DebtHater

Hi all,

Anyone know of any decent car rental firms, that let you pick up and drop off cars on the street? I have seen a couple of firms like this before, but a Google search doesnt seem to find them.....

Any ideas?

Do you mean car clubs - e.g. Street Car, Connect By Hertz, ZipCar and City Car Club?

You join (they usually charge a membership fee, but some are free and there are often promotions available), get your licence checked, and receive a smartcard. Most vehicles are kept on the street or in car parks - you reserve them online and open them with your smartcard. It costs around £4-£10 per hour depending on the vehicle, and there is usually a daily rate as well. You don't pay for fuel, but you usually have to pay about 25-30p per mile if you drive more than a set limit.

There's also Whipcar which is based around people renting out their own cars to other people.
