Car Clubs

We have a number of car clubs operating within the borough providing coverage in most wards. Car clubs work by people joining a club and then have the opportunity to use the pool cars, which are then charged per use - sometimes this can be hours, days or weeks vai a booking system. Below are a number of companies who operate locally.

City Car Club currently have vehicles in East Sheen and East Twickenham. Please contact them via the link in their logo or enquiries@citycarclub.co.uk or by calling 0845 330 1234.

"All the convenience of owning a car"

Within the borough, cars can be found at the following locations at Richmond Station, Richmond - Queens Road, Kew Gardens, Mortlake & Barnes. There Volkswagen Golfs can be booked for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 6 months. They are reserved online or by phone, and can be collected and returned 24/7 using one of our high-tech smartcards and a PIN number.

Usage charges are based on how long you have the car, and how far you drive. We just send you a bill once per month. It is free to join, and there are no monthly or annual membership fees. When you join, we just take a £150 returnable deposit which we repay immediately if you no longer want to use the service.
