Car club in Gateshead

 
   

Gateshead residents and businesses can now take advantage of a new car club recently launched in the borough. 

Gateshead car clubThe car club offers a pay-as-you-go alternative to owning a car. It allows you day-to-day access and the freedom of a car when you need one, but none of the expensive overheads and hassle of owning a car. The low membership fee and simple drive-away charges cover everything including road tax, insurance, MOT, servicing, maintenance and cleaning. 

There are three cars conveniently located at Gateshead Civic Centre; it will also be possible to use one of the eight cars based across Newcastle. It is hoped that the scheme will be expanded further with more cars located across the borough.
