car2go, the pioneer of ‘free-floating’ car sharing, has withdrawn from the UK.

Taking the UK’s strong culture and tradition of private vehicle ownership into account, car2go made the decision earlier this month.

car2go launched in Birmingham in 2013 and has been operating in three London boroughs since December 2012.

The unique challenges encountered were more significant than expected.

As the world’s largest free-floating carsharing provider, car2go will continue to observe the UK market for cultural changes towards the ‘free-floating model’.

car2go will continue to be a worldwide success story as we operate in a total of 25 cities around the World with more than 700,000 customers.

With a ‘moovel-account’ and a validated driving licence you will be still able to use car2go in all other 12 European car2go cities.
