FEATURED PROMOTION

Zipcar is giving The Resident readers a year’s membership for just £39.50, saving £20.00 on a regular membership. To get you on the road Zipcar is also throwing in £35 worth of free driving credit, that’s over 5 hours’ worth of free driving.

Zipcar is a simple idea that’s changing the way people think about driving. It is the UK’s biggest car club – with over 1,700 vehicles across London. Shiny cars and vans are parked ready to be driven on streets around the world (there’s probably one on a street near you) that can be yours by the hour or day.

Once you’ve joined the club, you can drive any car you like, whenever you like. Just pay for the time you need, and Zipcar takes care of the rest, with fuel, insurance and Congestion Charge included from just £6 an hour.

Zipcars can be unlocked with the Zipcar app, or with your Zipcard, which comes with your membership. With the app, you can even honk the horn of your Zipcar to locate it. Zipcars have dedicated spaces – once you have finished just return the car to the space you picked it up from.

With longer days and warmer weather now is the time to start exploring Britain and to make it easier, Zipcar has put together this little travel guide to activities and sights. So whether you’re into walks and hikes, country gardens or historical houses, there’s staycation ideas for everyone.
