Brighton & Hove Bus
and Coach Company – The key benefits
City Car Club – how it works
City Car Club provides hourly car and van rental on a pay as you go basis
in Brighton & Hove, and across 16 other UK cities. Membership provides an
extremely cost effective alternative to car ownership.
Membership to City Car Club normally costs £60 per annum, however the
key holders can join for just £1 for their first year, giving them access to
a range of cars and vans located across Brighton & Hove. To see if a City Car
Club membership would suit your lifestyle simply

The online application form has a field for the key holders to
enter their card number. This will effectively provide validation to City Car
Club, as well as allow them to activate the Key card on your account.
There is currently a fleet of over 85 vehicles in Brighton & Hove which
will continue to grow as popularity increases. Vehicles are spread in clusters
near to where people live and work across the city in designated parking bays,
mostly in on-street locations. There are currently already over 3500 members of
City Car Club in Brighton & Hove which is increasing at around 25% year on year
(30,000 across all cities City Car Club operate in).
Bookings can be made by the hour, day or as long as you require. This can
be done online, via the app or by telephone, at a moment’s notice, or up to a
year in advance. Members are granted access to any vehicle in any city, the
vehicles are unlocked through the app or by holding the key card over the
card reader on the windscreen.
Located in the glove box is a PIN pad into which the member inputs their
unique PIN number in order to retrieve the keys. Members make use of the vehicle
for the pre booked time required, then return it to the designated parking bay
they collected it from. Ignition keys are placed back in the computer and the
doors are locked using the key card. Simple as that!
Invoices are raised on a monthly basis and payment is via Direct Debit or
debit/credit card.
Membership also gives access to any of the 700+ vehicles across 16 other
cities in the UK.
Fuel is paid for by City Car Club and is recharged at the published
mileage rate (currently 23p per mile for cars & 29p for vans). If the fuel is
running low, then members can fill up at any garage using a fuel card located in
all the vehicles and City Car Club picks up the tab.
