Newbury Welcomes New Car Club Operator to Town

Residents, Visitors & Businesses Can Now Join the Club

Enterprise Car Club and West Berkshire Council have joined forces to bring an exciting new transport service to Newbury.
 

Residents, visitors and businesses in the town can now join Britain’s largest privately held car club with the arrival of Enterprise Car Club. New electric and hybrid vehicles are sited at five locations in Newbury and are available from a low cost per hour.
 

Membership of Enterprise Car Club gives users access to a growing network of more than 1,400 on-street low emission, hybrid and electric vehicles at Enterprise Car Club locations in 180 cities, towns and communities across the UK. Many Enterprise Car Club vehicles are located at transport hubs including cars parked within 500 metres of 180 railway stations.

"We are delighted to work with West Berkshire Council to launch this service which will help reduce congestion and improve air quality by enabling people to make more sustainable travel choices," Enterprise Car Club Managing Director Dan Gursel said.
 

"We are expanding Enterprise Car Club across the UK to reach communities large and small, so that people can quickly and easily pick up low emission and value for money cars when that is the best choice for their journey."
 

"We are looking forward to this new partnership with Enterprise which will expand the car club service across the district," West Berkshire Council Executive Member for the Environment Cllr Steve Ardagh-Walter said.
 

"New electric vehicles will give residents and businesses a financially attractive alternative to car ownership and will help in reducing our carbon footprint.
 

"This improvement to the car club forms part of our Environment Strategy Delivery Plan to encourage more use of electric vehicles and inspire alternative travel options across the district."
 

"For those who have never tried out the car club, it’s a quick and easy process that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week," West Berkshire Council Executive Member for Planning, Transport and Countryside Cllr Richard Somner said. "It’s a different way to car/van ownership where you only pay for a vehicle when you need it.
 

"The costs are very reasonable as you can pay by the hour or per day so for those who don’t have the space or don’t own a vehicle, including businesses who may need a larger vehicle, the car club is a great alternative.
 

"We envisage more people will sign up to the car club with the new introductory offers available saving individuals more money. With road space for parking vehicles reducing and environmental consciousness continuing to grow, the car club is becoming a popular economical step."
