Enterprise has secured a deal with Newcastle City Council to provide car club services.
Appointed for the next two years following a procurement exercise, Enterprise is currently providing 30 vehicles via 28 bays across the city centre and residential areas, for use by businesses and residents.
Car club members will also be able to access Enterprise’s traditional car hire services in the city.
Enterprise Mobility VP and general manager for the North East Chris Turnbull said: “We are delighted to partner with Newcastle City Council to provide our car club service to local businesses and the local community.
“Enterprise Mobility has been part of the city for many years, and we are thrilled to be strengthening our partnerships to offer employees, residents and visitors more choice in how they travel.”
Newcastle City Council cabinet member for climate and transport Juna Sathian said: “We’re very pleased to be working with Enterprise Car Club who are delivering the city’s official car club.
“The car club offers members convenient and affordable access to a low-emission car for one-off or regular trips, helping to support residents who don’t have access to, or choose not to have, a vehicle of their own.
“By promoting shared car use, the scheme also means there are fewer vehicles on our streets, helping to reduce traffic emissions and pressure on parking spaces.
“The car club has been an important part of our transport network in Newcastle over a number of years and we’re delighted that residents and businesses will continue to enjoy the benefits it provides.”
