Bradford Council is expanding its car club in partnership with Enterprise Car Club, with four new locations providing ready access to low-emission vehicles.

Acting in response to growing demand from local businesses and residents, the new vehicles take the total number of car club vehicles in the district to 12, including a van and a car based at the Enterprise rental branch in Keighley.

Last year Enterprise doubled the number of car club members in the city, with a further 30 per cent increase in 2020.

Bradford Council’s employees already use Enterprise Car Club for their business journeys. The Bradford car club fleet of low-emission and hybrid vehicles is available for rental from as little as £7.40 per hour, providing local businesses and individuals with quick and easy access to motoring 24/7, 365 days of the year.

Members of Enterprise Car Club based in Bradford can also pick up any of the 1,400 on-street low emission, hybrid and electric vehicles in 180 towns, cities and communities across the UK, in addition to the 85 vehicles based at 50 locations across West Yorkshire.

Alex Ross-Shaw, executive member for Regeneration, Planning and Transport at Bradford Council, said: “As the UK comes out of lockdown, people are keen to travel again in the most sustainable and efficient way possible. Car clubs are an easy and convenient solution that is also great value for money. Plus, members know that as well as protecting the environment, every vehicle has been thoroughly sanitised between each use.

“Our aim is to reduce CO₂ emissions across Bradford without affecting people’s access to a wide range of convenient transport options. Working with Enterprise is helping us to achieve that goal. The new locations are also a welcome addition for our growing number of city centre residents, as well as those who work, visit and shop here.”
