Brunel University Car ClubPay As You Go car hire (on campus) from as little as £5.50 per hour!

Is it really worth owning a car anymore, when all you really need one for is the odd trip here and there? Ask a member of the Brunel University Car Club and they’ll happily tell you the answer. You see, they don’t own cars, they share them with fellow members… So instead of the hassle and cost that comes with owning your own car, they just pick up one of ours from behind the Medical Centre, use it, and leave it for someone else. It really is that simple. Hourly rates start from as little as £5.50, which covers 20 miles of fuel, insurance, maintenance, road tax, the congestion charge and VAT. It really is the future of car ownership, so don’t get left behind!

Registration takes just a couple of minutes, and can be done on-line or over the phone. If you’re over the age of 19 and have previously held insurance, simply call 08708 45 45 45 to register (quoting promotion code 1085). Alternatively why not visit the web site and register atwww.hertzondemand.com/london
