These changes have been in preparation for a three month trial with City of York Council to assess the scope for future use of City Car Club by City of York Council. As a result we will be opening two new locations in York at Hazel Court and North Street. We hope that the trial will be a great success and the start of high levels of Car Club usage by City of York Council, enabling us to expand the Car Club in the coming months and years.

Overall the results were extremely positive. Some key findings include:
•    94% of all members reported a high level of overall satisfaction with City Car Club. Only 0.8% believed their experience with City Car Club to be very poor.
•    In total the respondents reported to have reduced the number cars they own by 400 vehicles. If we assume the same rate applies to all our 23,000 members that equates to 9200 fewer cars on the UK’s roads.
•    95% are likely to refer City Car Club to a friend, family member or work colleague.
•    96% have had a positive experience when dealing with the Clubhouse team. Remember if you refer a friend you both receive £20 driving credit.

Whilst the results are extremely useful, we are also constantly listening to your feedback in order to improve our service. If you have any suggestions please feel free to get in touch.

As a thank you we have drawn one lucky member from a hat to win.

The winner of the £25 driving credit is………. Kerri Woods from Edinburgh.

Big thankyou again to everyone!

We hope that this car will be of use to you as they make up part of the increasing network of City Car Club bays across the city. With several other cars within just a few minutes walk, choosing a car for your next trip has just got even easier.

Let’s face it, for many car ownership is critical to way of life, especially for those living in rural locations, where there is a lack of decent public transport, and people who simply have to commute to work by car. However, for many city dwellers like me, owning a car is more of a luxury. I don’t need one all the time, just some of the time. When, as the RAC reports, the average weekly cost of this luxury is £129, if you only use this once or twice a week that’s a hefty expense. On top of that you also have the hassle of cleaning, maintenance and parking. Then when you factor in that this £129 is paid when you are on holiday or away it all seems a bit mad!

Last year it was predicted that by 2015 the cost of a tank of petrol could hit £100. This may well be the tipping point for many. However, looking at last year’s 4.4% drop in new car registrations, it seems to be a sign that for a significant number that point has already been reached. It’s scary when you think that in 2002 the average petrol price was just 70p per litre!

This car cost calculator is a useful tool if you want to know how much your car is costing you by the day, week and year. Although it’s worth bearing in mind that the manufacturer’s miles per gallon (mpg) quoted rates are arguably often higher than in reality.
