“The scheme is part of Derby’s Connected initiative which is all about making sustainable travel choices a way of life in Derby”
— Ellie Grebenik, Co-wheels Regional Manager for Derby

To become a member of the scheme, drivers pay a one-off lifetime joining fee which enables them to book one of ten cars, depending on their requirements, with prices starting at little as £3.75 an hour for a vehicle.
