The car hire alternative in Balham

Balham is a great place to live and visit: with lots of fantastic pubs, coffee shops and not to mention it’s very own cinema, what’s not to like? Nestled in the London Borough of Wandsworth, Balham is slap bang in the middle of 3 commons (Clapham, Tooting & Wandsworth), has great connections into inner London with national rail and the northern line, not to mention plenty of Zipcars on the doorstep. 

Zipcar provides Balham residents with easy access to our car-sharing car club. With cars available to rent by the minute, hour or day Zipcar is a convenient alternative to car hire in Balham, SW12. 

Balham is in the Zipzone, which means you can pick up and drop off a one-way Zipcar Flex here, and drive it from 31p/minute or £14/hour.
