Car hire, by the hour, with 2 electric vehicles conveniently located at The Farmstead, for every journey you need.
Hiyacar, the car club operator, is a simple app based platform that gives you to access car hire, simply using your smartphone. Download the app, complete your details and locate our Linmere cars, through the app, to start your car hire. You have a choice of a Renault Zoe for shorter journeys, and an MG ZS to longer runs, with more luggage and storage space. Both fully electric and fully charged*, offering you zero emmission driving, without any ULEZ or London congestion charge.
How Hiyacar works
You can download the app using the link below. Open the app, complete your personal details, scan your driving licence and take a selfie! Locate one of the cars at The Farmstead, set your rental hours, request the booking and the app will breakdown your costs including the hire charge, insurance and booking fee. The insurance fee will set according to your age and experience.
When you start your hire, tour the car with your phone camera capturing the vehicle’s condition, unlock the car with the app and you’re ready to go. When you return the car, tour the car again with your camera to confirm the car’s condition and end the session.
