The world’s biggest car-sharing company, Zipcar, has said it will close its UK operation, removing access to its shared fleet across London at the end of this year. The UK operating company had 71 staff last year, according to its latest accounts. Zipcar was thought to run nearly 3,000 vehicles, including cars and vans – the majority of the 5,300 shared vehicles in the UK. “We’ve been warning for a while about the viability of car clubs in London,” said Dilks. However, the proposed UK closure would come after Zipcar (UK) reported an £11.7m loss for 2024.
