Zipcar - have a green car parked at your house

ZipcarWe’re delighted to announce that hot on the heels of its recent launch in London, we’ve teamed up with Zipcar to offer ParkatmyHouse.com users a completely unique and very exciting opportunity.

What is Zipcar?

If you aren’t familiar with Zipcar, it’s a revolutionary, clean, green and affordable way of getting about by car without any of the cost and headache that comes with owning a car yourself.

The way it works is that self-service, on-demand Zipcars are parked in various locations around the city. They’re accessible 24/7 and available to reserve by the hour or by the day.

You can book a Zipcar online or over the phone at any time, any day of the week. Then all you have to do is walk to the nearby car, unlock it by swiping your unique Zipcard across the windscreen and drive away with the minimum of fuss.

Driving a Zipcar works out as a fantastic saving. It costs from as little as £4.95 an hour. That amount covers parking, petrol, insurance, maintenance, Congestion Charge and 60 miles of driving.

So you get the convenience, freedom and comfort of a car with none of the expense and aggravation. What’s more, you can drive a whole variety of fun and environmentally vehicles from a luxury BMW to a run-around MINI. It’s the perfect alternative to car ownership and we love it!

What are we offering ParkatmyHouse.com members?
If you’ve registered your space on ParkatmyHouse.com but you’re still waiting for a Parker, why not let it out to Zipcar? In return, we’ll

  • pay you for your parking space
  • give you a thank-you in the form of £85 worth of free driving credit when you become a Zipcar member!
  • give you a clean, green car available on your doorstep as and when you need it and without any of the cost and bother that comes with owning your own car.

Alternatively, if you just want to try out Zipcar, you can receive £50 worth of free driving credit by using promotional code ‘parkatmyhouse’ when you register.

Not bad we say!

How do I rent my parking space to Zipcar?

Simply edit your parking space to add it to our Zipcar opt-in database.

You’ll need to ensure is that your space is both available and accessible on a round-the-clock basis and that you have the legal right to rent out the space.

If your space is within the confines of a gated building, a lock box can be fitted to house the clicker for entry. Zipcar will deal directly with the management company responsible for the building so it’s hassle-free for you.
