More and more workers are using car clubs for business journeys, according to a national Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK) poll of nearly 4,000 Enterprise Car Club members.
 
In fact, one in five (20 per cent) members now use the on-street rental service for work-related journeys.
 
More than half said they would not have been able to get to their destination without a car. This means that access to a car club provides essential business mobility. A factor is that more than one in three (36 per cent) say their household is now ‘car-free’.
 
Another important consideration is emissions reduction, with one in four workers saying that this is why they use the car club.
 
This member feedback showed that car clubs help to ‘green’ employee motoring, as 27 per cent are driving fewer miles since joining the club.

The report also suggested that 33 per cent of respondents had tried an electric car club vehicle.
 
Andy Bland, head of business rental development UK and Ireland for Enterprise Mobility, said:
 
“We are seeing more and more examples of how car clubs are improving mobility and enabling more sustainable business travel, while also giving employees a chance to experience driving an electric vehicle.
 
“They create a great user experience, and can help organisations implement progressive mobility strategies that support employee needs and deliver business goals.”
