Stop paying to rent what you could sweat
Many universities, councils and businesses pay a traditional car-club operator for access to the operator’s vehicles. That works, but you are renting mobility by the hour while your own pool vehicles sit idle. Kerbway gives your fleet the same self-service experience, without an operator in the middle owning the brand, the pricing or the data.
Two very different things sold under one name
A traditional car club brings its own vehicles and its own brand to your site, and charges your organisation and your people to use them. That can be a sensible top-up for real peaks. But when it becomes the default way staff travel, you are paying an operator’s margin on every mile while the vehicles you already have (and are already insuring, parking and depreciating) go under-used.
Kerbway inverts the deal. Your vehicles become the shared fleet: staff book and unlock them from one app, licence checks and reporting are built in, and every pound of value created lands on your side of the ledger. When utilisation data shows you have too many vehicles, you shrink the fleet. Owned or leased, it is yours to right-size.
Two models, one decision
Renting access to an operator’s fleet
- The operator’s vehicles, brand and pricing: you buy usage by the hour
- Costs scale with every booking, indefinitely
- Trip data and member relationships sit with the operator
- Your own pool vehicles keep depreciating in the car park
Sweating the fleet you already have
- Your vehicles under a Kerbway-branded app: booking, keyless access, driver checks
- You pay for the technology and service layer, not a margin on every mile
- Utilisation, cost and CO2 data is yours, ready for committee and audit
- Right-size with confidence, and open idle vehicles to staff out of hours for revenue

Frequently asked questions
Is Kerbway a car-club operator?
No. A traditional car club brings its own vehicles and charges for usage. Kerbway puts booking, keyless access and reporting on the pool vehicles you already run: you pay for the technology and service layer, not a margin on every mile.
When does a traditional car club still make sense?
As a top-up for real peaks. The problem is when it becomes the default way staff travel while your own vehicles sit under-used in the car park.
What happens to our trip data?
It is yours: utilisation, cost and CO2 for every trip, ready for committee and audit, rather than sitting with an operator.
Can we reduce our fleet size?
Yes, and with confidence. Because the fleet is yours to run, utilisation data shows exactly which vehicles earn their place, and lease terms or disposals follow the evidence.
