Who uses WhizzGo:
Where do they drive?

WhizzGo members are all ages and all types. They are all smart consumers who've realised that you don't need to own a car to drive one. This is what some of our members have to say about WhizzGo.

Architect Jonathan Lindh, 45, said: "Being a car club member, first of all, saves you money; I keep running the cost through my mind thinking whether or not I should buy another car and I reckon I save a couple of grand a year in a car club. You also tend to see transport in a more complete way. There are a number of different ways to get places: by public transport, by car, by bicycle or walking. You plan more and fit the transport to the journey. You need a certain amount of commitment to change your habits and an integrated public transport system to make it work well. For me, it is important to do what I can as an individual to reduce my impact on the environment."

Andy Rollinson, director of Turley Associates: "We as a company made a decision to move to the city centre in Leeds. Sending out the right message is important to get the sort of work we want in the inner-city and we thought it was fundamentally wrong to be based outside. We also took a conscious decision not to provide parking. We operate on a team basis and thought it was wrong to spend £2,000 a station for parking places, which might be used by just a few people. We use public transport wherever possible. Using WhizzGo cars I will be able to work better and more efficiently, doing site visits in chunks. But WhizzGo also offers flexibility. We can see clients at the drop of a hat if we need to."

Steven Capper, Arup Leeds office manager: "We used to give out company cars and when they were older than four years they became pool cars, but they have become a pain because we are constantly running around maintaining them. We are implementing an environmental management system and we asked ourselves if we could buy greener cars. One of our users told us about WhizzGo cars. It is a saving using them for visiting sites and client meetings but we are also trying to promote green methods of transport."
