With the cost of motoring spiralling, higher insurance costs and fuel continually going up in price many people are looking for an alternative to owning their own car especially if they live and work in a city. Therefore the idea of a car club is becoming more appealing.

Basically a car club is where people who may need a car for a short period of time, but not everyday, can hire a one at a much reduced rate for the time they need it whether it is half an hour or a few days. This means that they don’t have to pay the normal costs associated with motoring from insurance through to maintenance and have the option to get a car (or even van) when they need it. In addition it’s a very eco way to use a car as you’re not having one sitting around when its not in use.

Thats why we thought we would write a review on one of the most popular companies to offer the Car Club service in the UK which is called www.citycarclub.co.uk  they have been around since 2000 and you could say that they were the first to import the idea from the USA.

The thing we like about CityCarClub offer cars in most major cities in the UK, any competitors they have are very “London” orientated which is not very useful if you live anywhere else. That’s why we think we’ve got to give these guys a well done, it’s nice to know that someone thinks about all of us that don’t live in South.

Finally if you are a business traveller you may want to think about the Car Club idea as an alternative. Many business people claim they need a car because customers are not very close to the railway station or airport but this gives a great alternative, get your train to the nearest city and then hire the car to get to your customer ….. simple and less stressful.

Using the service is really easy and you can find out more details of how it all works by taking a look at their website here
