Zipcar has signed a deal with Westminster City Council that will enable it to offer one-way car sharing throughout the London borough from early July.

Both Zipcar Flex and Zipcar Roundtrip are now accessible through the Zipcar app for Westminster residents

Zipcar already offers its Roundtrip service in Westminster but the new agreement means residents can also use the Zipcar Flex – which launched last year – to bring added flexibility.

The service costs 29p a minute – capped at £12 per hour – and is also available in Wandsworth, Tower Hamlets, Islington, Lewisham, Southwark, Hackney, Merton and Waltham Forest.

Zipcar UK general manager Jonathan Hampson said: “We are excited that Westminster City Council shares our ambition to build on what has been achieved and to further grow adoption of this important concept as an alternative to car ownership in the borough. With the introduction of Zipcar Flex, I have no doubt at all that we will do just this.”
