Low-emission hybrid vehicles at Scarborough, Selby and Malton are ready for action and bookable from anywhere with the Enterprise Car Club app.<\/p>\n

Business and leisure passengers travelling to Scarborough, Selby, and Malton TransPennine Express (TPE) stations in North Yorkshire can now hire a low-cost, pay-as-you go car from the train station for the last leg of their journey, allowing them to leave their own car at home and let the train take the strain.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each station will have a designated parking space with its own rental car allocated to it. Passengers can hire the vehicle using Enterprise Car Club, and all transactions for the vehicle are handled through an easy-to-use app. <\/p>\n

Passengers wanting to use the car club can join for just \u00a310 and receive \u00a310 driving credit towards their first journey. Any of the three vehicles can be rented for \u00a36 per hour or \u00a325 for the day if the vehicle is required for longer.<\/p>\n

New members joining to take advantage of the vehicles at TPE stations can also use any of the 1300 other Enterprise Car Club vehicles located in 125 towns, communities, housing developments and transport hubs across the UK.<\/p>\n

Chris Jeffery, accessibility lead at TPE, said: \u201cHaving access to sustainable transport options is an important step to reduce carbon emissions and our journey towards a net zero transport network, so we\u2019re excited to be working with Enterprise Car Club to provide this new service to our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great option for those who may want the freedom of having a car without the expense of owning a vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dan Gursel, Enterprise Car Club commercial director in the UK, said, \u201cTravelling by train and using a car club vehicle for the last leg of the journey makes so much sense for so many business and leisure trips. It means people only use the car when it makes sense to do so and can help businesses to reduce emissions if their employees take the train for more journeys.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings more choice and convenience for travellers, especially if they don\u2019t already own a car.”<\/p>\n

The CoMoUK 2024 survey of car club users shows that 55% of members use a train or a tram at least once a week \u2013 compared to only 9% of the UK population. The data also showed that 50% of members said they would not have been able to go to their destination without a car and 44% said they needed a car to carry luggage of bulky items.<\/p>\n
