Overview
- The car‑sharing firm will wind down UK services within weeks after a formal employee consultation, with accounts remaining active until 16 February 2026.
- About 650,000 customers and roughly 12,000 business accounts are affected by the shutdown.
- Members will receive pro‑rated refunds for unused plans dated from 31 December 2025, processed automatically with completion targeted this month.
- Company filings show revenue fell to £47 million in 2024 from £53 million a year earlier, with wider losses of £11.6 million and weaker demand linked to the cost of living crisis.
- Zipcar pointed users to CoMoUK for alternative car‑sharing options, while rivals such as Turo moved to attract displaced customers; separate reporting suggests TfL congestion‑charge changes likely raised EV fleet costs.
