About car clubs 

A car club is a short-term rental service that gives you access to cars parked near you. Members can rent a car and pay by the minute, hour or day.   

By joining a car club, you will: 

  • save money on car tax, insurance, vehicle maintenance, fuel and hidden costs 
  • reduce your carbon footprint 
  • avoid charges on polluting vehicles such as Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) 
  • find parking spaces more easily 

How it works in Camden  

Camden allows ‘back-to-base' (or round trip) trips in Camden. This means that vehicles are available from a fixed location and must be returned to this same spot after use. 

Camden does not allow flexible one-way trips, from one car club space to another within Camden.

Free car club membership 

When you cancel your resident permit, you can apply for a free car club membership. You can also apply for a refund on any remaining time on your permit. 

If your application is successful, you will be given a voucher code or a link to register for the free car club membership. You can choose to join either Enterprise or Zipcar.  

After activating the 2 year free membership, you will not be eligible for a new resident parking permit for 2 years. Please read the terms and conditions in the application form below to learn more.
