WhipCar (http://www.WhipCar.com), the world?s first neighbour-to-neighbour car rental service has just announced its 1,000th car on the service. Compared to leading UK car clubs which took approximately six years to achieve a similar scale, it has taken WhipCar only six months, making WhipCar the world?s fastest-growing car club.
By enabling private car owners to rent out their cars for the first time, WhipCar has created the country?s only and broadest virtual rental car fleet with over 40 different makes of car available to rent across 450 towns and cities in the UK – meaning to rent a car in Manchester or hire a car in Brighton has never been so easy. In areas where WhipCar now has cars available, it tends to be the closest, lowest cost and most convenient option for anyone looking to rent a car.

People are starting to think of cars as financial and social opportunities not depreciating assets.?
