Conversations In Cars

Have you ever spilt your deepest secret to a friend during a late-night drive? A recent study found that 76% of us use car journeys for heart-to-heart conversations. 

But why are cars such powerful spaces for connection? Nearly a third said that we felt most comfortable having meaningful conversations in cars because there are no distractions. Other reasons we heard about included the fact that there is nowhere to escape to (25%), and you’re not forced to look one another in the eye (23%).

Regarding the sexes, men feel more at ease when having deep and meaningful conversations in cars than anywhere else.

More Than Just Deep Secrets:

Car conversations are the soundtrack to our lives, a background of laughter, tears, and everything in between. They can be the site of whispered secrets shared on a late-night adventure, or for passionate debates about the latest Netflix series. From the silly arguments to the heartfelt conversations that bind us closer, car journeys provide a unique space for the full spectrum of human connection. They're the soundtrack to our lives, filled with big and small memories.

 

At Zipcar, we believe in the power of connection.

That's why we offer a convenient and flexible car hire service, freeing you to focus on the journey and the conversations that unfold within it. Whether you're embarking on a spontaneous weekend getaway with friends, a first date you'll never forget, or simply running errands with your partner, Zipcar provides the wheels and the flexibility for these car conversations to happen. Think of us as your co-pilot for meaningful journeys.

James Taylor, General Manager of Zipcar UK says: “Our members have told us that Zipcars have been used for marriage proposals, taking expecting mothers in labour to the hospital and even taking a bride to her wedding when her taxi didn’t show up!  It’s incredible to see Zipcar UK facilitate not only essential journeys but also meaningful conversations and key life moments. We’re not just here for the everyday essential journeys but also those memory-making adventures such as last-minute getaways and road trips. With the rise in popularity of domestic travel, we have a chance to connect with our loved ones and surroundings more than ever before”.
