All-electric car hire platform launches in London

UFODRIVE, a car hire platform featuring exclusively electric cars, has launched in London bringing 100 zero-emission cars to rent across the capital.

UFODRIVE has launched across two central London locations – Oxford Street and Park Lane, and Westfield Shepherd’s Bush opening soon - with rental from £90 per day, which includes unlimited free charging.

Each car can access any of the 100,000 charging points across the UK and Europe, with in-built real-time automated navigation technology eliminating range and charging concerns.

Bookings are made via the UFODRIVE mobile app with drivers able to use the car immediately through keyless access technology, with full insurance and roadside cover for the duration of the rental.

Vehicle models available include Tesla Model S & Model 3, with other makes and models to follow such as Audi’s e-tron.

All vehicles are 100% electric with zero emissions, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the driver, and all have a range of well over 200 miles before recharging is needed.

CEO Aidan McClean said: “All travel will become emission free. It simply has to happen; however, most people still believe this will only be in the future. The technology exists today for all cars to work perfectly without the environmental impact.

“Since launching UFODRIVE, our users have driven over six million kilometres across Europe on electric alone, and we’re now incredibly excited to bring our solution to London, where there is a significant need to reduce the city’s emissions for the health and wellbeing of its locals and surroundings.”
