Smart Driving

    What is a car club?

    Car Clubs play an important role in future sustainable transport. Car Clubs allow you to book a dedicated vehicle, drive it to the destination you require and then return it back to the same parking space. Car Club vehicles are available 24/7, 365 days of the year and you only pay for the time and distance travelled!

    You can book online either weeks in advance or within minutes where you can book a car from an hour to a whole weekend. Cars will be cleaned and ready to go once they are booked where you then simply need to turn up and unlock. Membership for Car Clubs include fuel, servicing, MOTs, breakdown cover, insurance and cleaning.

    Membership to your Car Club allows you access to all other Car Clubs operated by the supplier across the UK, not just your dedicated Car Club.

    Electric Vehicle Charging

    Your development benefits from a high number of electric vehicle charging points, allowing you to become greener in your travel. With the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to be banned from 2030, electric cars will become the forefront of car travel.

    The government are offering a discount (of up to £2,500) on the price of brand new low emission vehicles which is included within the dealer’s vehicle price. To view the vehicles which are eligible for the grant, please visit the governments webpage.

    Not only are there lots of opportunities to charge your car in the development, but there is also increasingly more vehicle charging points across the country. Take a look at Zap Map for more information and find a charging point near your destination.

    Car Sharing

    Around 2.5 million people share their commutes to work every year in the UK. This removes 1.25 million cars from roads and saves around 1.25 million tonnes of CO2 per year. Car sharing is a great way to reduce the amount of solo car trips on our roads not only for work trips but for all trips. Other benefits include:

    • Reduce the need for parking
    • Meet new people in your community
    • Save on average £1,000 per year
    • Reduce the stress of driving
