Richard R Lee#Community-based #CarSharing goes back to the #ZipCar. It was a noble idea then and still is now. Key to its success is breaking the #paradigm of #CarOwnership, an irrational need in today's world. #Decarbonization #CommunityEnergy. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/10/a-long-road-ahead-could-community-car-sharing-help-uk-hit-climate-targets?CMP=share_btn_url

Corin Ashwell 🌍 🌿 🍄🏳️⚧️I’m not going to buy a car because #zipcar has gone. Probably just pay for more deliveries or hire person-with-van when necessary. It’s a shame though, felt like they helped me keep my hand in with driving for the occasional times it’s a useful skill.

Oh. #ZipCar has started a consultation to shut down their UK business...
We don't own a car and that was our goto solution for those 10 times a year where we needed one
マリオ (Mario Menti)Got an email today to say that #Zipcar are planning to shut down. I'm only an occasional user, but this sucks if, like me, you don't want to own a car in London.
Guess I need to start looking into alternatives.
El DuvelleThere are alternatives in the UK! I use Co-wheels regularly in Glasgow (https://www.co-wheels.org.uk), it's in several other UK cities too. Just checked: unfortunately they are not in London (see screenshot below) but maybe they'll take over from Zipcar? It's really convenient and they mostly have either electric or hybrids. Thanks to them I don't have to own a car :)
(it is too bad that Zipcar is closing though, I wonder why?)
