Car Sharing in Cambridge
Sometimes you just need a car in Cambridge
Cambridge is known throughout the world for its university, but there’s a lot more to this city than education. Incredibly beautiful, a simple walk around its cobbled streets would be a fine day out. Of course, if you live there you might want to see something new, which is easy as the city is perfectly placed to explore the rest of England as you please. That’s why we offer cheap car sharing in Cambridge.
While Cambridge has its own public transport system, sometimes you need to rent a car. Riding the bus with the kids or a pile of shopping isn’t ideal, so having a car is not only easier but more flexible too. Car hire might be your first choice, but Zipcar offers a simpler and often cheaper alternative: car sharing. Zipcar offers just that.
