Car Clubs Come to Sutton

Residents and businesses in Sutton can now join a car club, following Streetcar’s launch of nine new cars, in special on-street and off-street bays across the borough. This innovative service, launched in association with Smarter Travel Sutton, allows club members to share cars on a pay-as-you-drive basis. The scheme is simple to use: members book a car online or over the phone, as little as 30 minutes ahead of time, and use remotely activated smartcards to unlock the vehicle. At the end of the journey the car is returned to a dedicated Streetcar parking space and a travel log is automatically sent to Streetcar HQ in Wimbledon. Members of Streetcar in Sutton will also have access to vehicles in other Streetcar areas across London as well as in Brighton, Southampton, Maidstone and Cambridge. Councillor Colin Hall, deputy leader of Sutton Council and lead member for Smarter Travel Sutton, said: ‘I’m sure that Streetcar will repeat their success here in Sutton as more and more people start to think about reducing the number of car journeys they make. A car club will offer our residents a great alternative to owning and running their own car. I will be one of the first to sign up!’ Visit www.streetcar.co.uk for full details of the scheme.
