History
[edit | edit source]In April 2000 easyGroup set up the company with the only rental car available being the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.[4]
easyCar Club was launched by easyCar in February 2014 as a peer-to-peer rental scheme that allows members to rent under-used private cars from one another.[5] On 1 December 2018, easyCar Club stopped accepting bookings citing a problem reaching an agreement with an insurer. On 18 December 2018, easyCar Club informed members that it was ceasing operations to join forces with Turo, and offering incentives for easyCar Club members to join Turo.[6]
