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
Sorry what do you mean by car pool? Like people going to the same place? Unfortunately I’m going at an odd time (7-9pm on a night once a week) so it’s not quite a normal journey.
Ah yeah, that probably won’t work.
What I mean is there are ride sharing apps and sites, plus more local groups on Facebook or Nextdoor (might have changed its name) where you could see if anyone was making the trip and up for splitting petrol costs.
Ah okay that makes sense, will see about next door but I don’t use either of them currently.
If you aren’t on there it might not be worth your time and effort for any minor savings. Good luck though.
Thanks for all the suggestions mate, really appreciate it :)
No worries - it’s a tricky one as it falls between a number of stools and there isn’t an obvious, easy solution.
Hoping the new car comes sooner than expected and I won’t need to do any of this but I’m thinking enterprise car club is probably my best option as things stand.
I’ve never used that service but have hired vans from them on a number of occasions over the years and found them to be very efficient. Even if it’s not the very cheapest option, it’s worth it for the reliability. Last few times it was to shift some furniture with my brother - he’s easily annoyed but couldn’t praise them enough, which is quite remarkable.
