The five new London boroughs join Hackney, Haringey, Islington, and Waltham Forest.

“We are delighted to announce the expansion of DriveNow into five new London boroughs today – which will more than double our fleet and operating area for our customers,” said DriveNow UK MD, James Taylor.

“We’ve worked very closely with each of the boroughs throughout this process to make this a reality. We hope car sharing, alongside other sustainable transport options such as walking, cycling and public transport, will continue to be embraced by Londoners to help reduce congestion and pollution and build a more liveable city.”

The expansion will see DriveNow increase its current fleet to 720 BMWs and Minis available across the nine London boroughs. The new fleet will provide Londoners with a selection of Mini Clubman, Mini Convertibles, BMW 1 Series as well as the BMW i3.
