Don’t just take our word for it...
...see what some of our existing members are saying.
Ian Grant, Financial Planning Manager at Grant Thornton says:
Ben Riley, Landscape Architect for Taylor Young says:
“City Car Club is an excellent service and I would endorse it
to anyone. It is simple and efficient, the staff are always helpful
and it can be tailored to be used exactly how you need
as well as ensuring you can
do your bit for the environment.”
“The City Car Club service is convenient, handy and easy to use.
It saves time having to travel home to pick up my car for meetings
as the City Car Club car is located just a couple of minute’s walk
from the office. There is no need to claim expenses,
and the booking can be extended
when necessary which is useful for
when meeting schedules change.”
Sean Kitchingman, Senior Electrical Engineer for Buro Happold says:
“City Car Club provides an easy, fast and efficient service for short
hire car lets with many advantages for an inner city located business.
The City Car Club staff pulled out all the stops to provide
me with the necessities to start using the service,
and I avoid all of the pitfalls associated with other
travel options, such as inflexible hire agreements,
inner city parking and public transport waiting times.”
Michael Briggs, Assistant Planner at Savills says:
“City Car Club cars mean I don’t have to drive into the office but can
take the car when I need for meetings or site visits. The system
works extremely well, and is very easy to book.
City Car Club provides a great effective and
reliable service.“

Reduce your risk
Joining City Car Club passes the responsibility
of maintaining the fleet to us.
So you no longer need to ask yourself:
Are the vehicles safe?
A recent survey by ‘Total Motion’ found that almost two out of three cars
driven on a company basis were not safe to be on the road.
What checks should I be doing?
•
•
•
•
•
•
The driver is licensed to drive
The car is roadworthy and has a current MOT
The vehicle is insured for business use
The car is regularly serviced
The employee has membership of a roadside recovery organization
The employee is carrying out maintenance checks such as oil,
washer fluid, tyre pressures
Am I at risk?
Under the Corporate Manslaughter Act, an employer can be prosecuted for
a “gross failure in the management of health and safety that causes death”.
This can be applied directly to employees using their own car for business.
