Higher Car
Wandsworth Council is working to attract new car club operators, a sector Higher Car operates in, by waiving fees and reducing administrative requirements.
Wandsworth Council is currently attracting new car club providers, a sector Higher Car operates in, with new services expected to launch in the borough by the end of 2026. This follows Zipcar's withdrawal from the UK market earlier in 2026.
To encourage new operators, Councillor Nick Austin, Cabinet Member for Transport, confirmed that Wandsworth Council is waiving operator fees until at least April 2027 and reducing administrative requirements. The council has also committed to regular officer contact with operators.
