The car club has four vehicles located across Leicester but available to use wherever needed.
We have a range of practical vehicles from small cars for short trips around town to larger vehicles which can carry more people and luggage. All vehicles use unleaded petrol – we do not purchase diesel vehicles to minimise urban air pollution. We typically average around three members per vehicle, so a good mix of requirements, plus co‑ordination, avoids most difficulties and conflicts of needs.
Our current vehicles are:
- Renault Grand Picasso – a seven-seater, great for trips with many people or for lots of luggage
- Toyota Prius – petrol hybrid vehicle
- Toyota Yaris (automatic) – five-door
- Vauxhall Astra – five-door car
- Nissan Leaf – Electric vehicle 5-door
Vehicles are based in different locations across the city to match up with the needs of our current membership. Each vehicle is based with a member of the car club – the ‘Keeper’ of the vehicle.
Current approximate locations of vehicles (at May 2023) are:
- Wigston
- Aylestone
- Hamilton
- Clarendon Park
- West End (off Narborough Road)
Don’t despair if a vehicle isn’t kept near where you live – we often move where vehicles are kept to best fit with the needs of our membership.
