Short-term/intermittent car use between owned vehicles ? (feddit.uk)

Hi all,

I am not in London but am going to be selling my car at the end of the month to sort out closing off any finance/insurance, etc on the car.

I’ll be getting a new car at the end of September I think, but between august and September I’m not going to have a car.

I was looking at the enterprise car club as an option, as I may need a car once per week in September to get to Milton Keynes, I wasn’t sure if there were other similar schemes that you all would recommend?

Specified earlier I’m not in London as it doesn’t appear Zipcar operates in my town, so that is for sure out but open to suggestions on short term coverage! :)

Thanks

If you aren't on there it might not be worth your time and effort for any minor savings. Good luck though.

Thanks for all the suggestions mate, really appreciate it :)

No worries - it's a tricky one as it falls between a number of stools and there isn't an obvious, easy solution.

Hoping the new car comes sooner than expected and I won’t need to do any of this but I’m thinking enterprise car club is probably my best option as things stand.

I've never used that service but have hired vans from them on a number of occasions over the years and found them to be very efficient. Even if it's not the very cheapest option, it's worth it for the reliability. Last few times it was to shift some furniture with my brother - he's easily annoyed but couldn't praise them enough, which is quite remarkable.
