"I've used Zipcar mostly for practical journeys - moving house, taking the cat to the vets, helping my mum house-hunt. But during the last few months of lockdown, we've used Zipcar to get out of London for some fresh air. We've been on hikes in the countryside and to the seaside that we wouldn't have been able to otherwise, so thank you Zipcar!" - Alex, Lewisham
