London car clubs want members to reach one million

LONDON: The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) is supporting a new action plan to drive the growth of car club members in London.
The association is working with Transport for London (TfL), London Councils, the Greater London Authority (GLA), Carplus and a range of car club operators in a new Car Club Coalition.
The Coalition has spent the past six months formulating the ‘Vision for Car Clubs in London’.
The strategy sets out the actions it believes are required to see the number of London car club members reach one million in the next decade.
BVRLA CEO Gerry Keaney, said: “Promoting new models of urban mobility is essential if we hope to deal with the issues of congestion, road safety and air quality that affect our cities.”
The CEO said: “Car clubs, car rental and other forms of pay-as-you-go motoring are evolving at a rapid pace. The BVRLA will support this development by ensuring that operators are treated fairly by policymakers and get all the support they need to serve their growing customer base.”
