US-based car-sharing service ZipCar is now available in London. The world's largest car-sharing company is starting their British service with six types of cars to choose from, ranging from Mini Coopers to BMWs and Honda Civic hybrids.
Made possible by £13 million in new funding, the London service starts in Zones 1 and 2 and the Kensington & Chelsea areas and plans to expand to the rest of the city by the end of next year. Members of ZipCar book cars on an as-needed basis and pay rates starting at £4.20 per hour. For that price, you get gas, insurance, maintenance and reserved parking, an extra perk in a city where parking is increasingly difficult and expensive.
