How to book a car club vehicle
Benefits to the Shetland community
The Shetland Car Club offers a pay-as-you-go model that is ideal for those who need a vehicle for just a few hours at a time. Unlike traditional car hire services, which often require bookings of at least a day, our car club is designed for short, flexible hires—perfect for occasional trips or errands. This service helps reduce the financial burden of car ownership, allowing individuals and families to save money while also contributing to a more sustainable environment.
By providing access to a variety of vehicles, the car club supports community needs, such as families requiring a second car for short periods or community groups needing larger vehicles for events. Additionally, it helps address mobility inequalities by offering car access to those who cannot afford ownership.
