Whizzgo

WhizzGo was a United Kingdom car sharing Car Club that provided pay-by-the-hour cars in 12 cities. Pay-by-the-hour cars were provided for an hourly price which included insurance, tax, fuel, maintenance and the Congestion Charge for London cars. In 2007, WhizzGo won Best Leasing/rental company of the year and Private Sector Fleet of the year in the GreenFleet awards.

On 28 August 2009, WhizzGo was acquired by City Car Club creating the UK's largest network of hourly rental cars. The WhizzGo name was dropped soon after.

The concept

WhizzGo provided a city-wide fleet of low emission Citroën cars that were located in designated on-street bays across city centres. WhizzGo offered an "environmentally sustainable service", reducing pollution and congestion by encouraging sustainable transport options so members take fewer car trips and walk, cycle or use public transport more, educating members on green driving tips and carbon offsetting.

Through its expansion, WhizzGo had partnered with Virgin Trains, public transport operators (such as Metro West Yorkshire and Stagecoach in Manchester)and Dahon foldable bikes. WhizzGo had also developed through partnerships with several city councils nationwide such as Leeds, Sheffield, York, Liverpool, Southampton and St Albans.
