Car2go is the latest car-sharing scheme to be launched in London. The scheme is being rolled out in three London boroughs – Islington, Newham and Sutton – with plans to expand in the new year. Car2go differs from its rivals by allowing members to pick up and drop-off cars to any parking space in a participating borough. Car2go is currently using the Smart ForTwo city car, which costs 35p per minute to rent and, including all costs, even parking.
