Zipcar announcement ‘hugely disappointing’
Responding to the news that car-sharing firm Zipcar intends to cease operations in the UK from 1st January 2026, Ben Plowden, Chief Executive of Campaign for Better Transport, said:
“This is hugely disappointing news and is likely to result in an increase of private cars on the roads. We would urge the UK Government to work with city mayors and local authorities to ensure that the policy, legal and financial framework is in place to make car sharing a going concern in the UK so it can remain an important part of the sustainable transport mix.”
