Co-Wheels Frome is expanding their fleet to include a hybrid vehicle at the Town Hall.
A convenient and flexible alternative to car ownership they offer membership at just £1 with no monthly charge, which means you pay for a car only when you need it. They even give you £25 credit, so you can book it out for up to five hours to see if it is for you.
Mayor of Frome, cllr Rich Ackroyd said, “From our volunteer driver scheme to our active travel challenge with local schools, there are lots of ways we can work together to cut carbon, costs and pollution. Choosing to use the hybrid car for your next journey is a great step in helping to lower emissions.”
Frome Town Council says, “We hope that people will take advantage of this offer, but we know it can be a bit nerve-wracking if you haven’t used something like this before, so we asked local resident Kate what she thought of using a greener vehicle.
How was your first ride?
“It was amazing, I loved it and everyone needs to have a go. It’s the future, right here right now, it feels so right! When you see other people in their vehicles with their exhausts pumping out rubbish, you think, “why have we been doing this for so long?”
Does renting one suit your needs? “Yes. I’m trying to use cars less, until I get to a point where I don’t really need them at all.
What would you say to somebody who was thinking about using one? “Oh, you have to do it! You just have to! It’s all very positive at the moment because there are certain things on offer. It makes you smile, it’s fun and practical and green, what’s not to like?”
