Wandsworth Council is attracting new car club operators, including car-sharing companies, by waiving fees and reducing administrative requirements.
Wandsworth Council is attracting new car club providers to the borough by the end of 2026, following Zipcar's withdrawal from the UK market earlier in the year. Councillor Nick Austin, Cabinet Member for Transport, confirmed in September 2026 that operator fees will be waived until at least April 2027 and administrative requirements reduced.
These measures are designed to make it easier for car club operators, such as car-sharing company Kendall Go, to set up and manage their services. The council has also committed to regular officer contact with current and potential operators to foster strong working relationships.
