Operating instructions

G E T T I N G A R O U N D
Zipcar’s range of self-service cars and vans are available 24/7 for rent by the hour, day, week or
month. Book any car in the fleet online or over the phone and then use your ‘zipcar smartcard’
to pick up the vehicle. Hourly rates start from £3.95 (at the time of printing).
Zipcar has cars parked in a dense network of dedicated spaces across London and several other
UK cities, typically within a few minutes’ walk of your home or work. You can use one 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 the
high-tech smartcards. The fleet is made up of Volkswagen Golfs and Volkswagen Polo
BlueMotions Vans are also available should you need to move bulkier items.
The cost of your usage is based on how long you have the car and how far you drive it, but
unless you're a heavy car user, the annual cost of Zipcar will be less than owning a car and will
remove a lot of the hassles of car ownership.

Barclays Cycle Hire
Take a cycle, ride it where you like, then return it, ready for the next person.
Available 24 hours a day, all year round. It's self-service and there's no booking. Just turn up and
go. Costs are the same whether you're a Member or not, though Members can buy the most
cost-effective (annual) access.
You pay for the right to hire a cycle (access fee) and for the amount of time you've got it (usage
charge).
