Local people and businesses in MK now have 24/7 access to several low emission vehicles as a new car club scheme becomes available.
Car clubs are known for helping reduce car ownership levels, easing parking pressures and congestion while offering users the benefit of accessing a car without the burden of owning one at a fraction of a typical car ownership cost.
The car club, operated by Enterprise Car Club, provides vehicles that can be rented by the hour or day.
By using promo code MK1010 all MK residents can sign up for an annual membership for £10 and receive £10 driving credit (usually £60).
Five residents who sign up between today and the 25th March will also be given £100 driving credit.
The fleet will include five different models including the electric Nissan Leaf which when fully charged has 239 miles of range, easily covering local and regional journeys.
Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Sustainability, Cllr Jennifer-Wilson Marklew said: “Around 635,000 people are signed up to car clubs across Britain and we think it will work well for lots of individuals and businesses in MK.
"It was a straightforward decision to launch an electric car club as it’s more sustainable and cuts emissions, and will allow more people to reduce their carbon footprint by using more sustainable options. For many people the purchase price of an electric car is still out of reach and we hope this offers a more flexible option. I’m looking forward to seeing good use being made of the club.”
