  • Also I did point out that it's probably cheaper and easier to keep the mini and just rent a nice big comfy car for the long trips to France than getting a whole new car. But is just that psychological thing about "wasting" money on a rental.

    Hertz were the only rental company I knew of that would let you take the car into Europe. With them gone (and no doubt added brexit complexities), it may be nigh on impossible to rent a car in the UK and take it to Europe

    The general sentiment I agree with though - I sold my last car maybe 5 years ago now, and just use car clubs, rentals and short-term leases. I spend less now than I did on car ownership (just having the audi sat outside on the street cost £1k a year with parking, tax, insurance and a yearly oil change) but the costs are more visible

  • We are a two car family for the rare times we go in different directions. Most of the time both cars sit idle on the drive. I'd love to ditch at least one but sadly car clubs haven't made it this far out yet.

    Do car clubs let learners use them?
