Electric Vehicles

Change is near, soon all cars will be fully electric

With the UK government planning to outlaw the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, it's time to start thinking about shifting to electric. For some, there are still some concerns or misconceptions around electric vehicles and it is still too soon to think about purchasing one. However, we offer our members the opportunity to try out an electric vehicle before they buy it. And not just for 20 minutes with a car salesman but a real test of the cars ability over a time period you feel comfortable with. We provide electric car hire on a pay-as-you-go basis from as little as £6.50 per hour.
