The new service marks the seventh major country launch for the brand in Europe and the introduction of its most flexible car-sharing service to date. 

Available via the Zipcar app, the free-floating fleet service will extend from 100 cars at launch to more than 250 within the first month. The Zipcars – all Peugeot 208s – can be picked up and dropped off in and around the Brussels-Capital Region, within a zone that includes 16 of the city’s 19 communes.  The service will also be readily available to Brussel’s Zipcar members travelling to and from Zaventem Airport, the city’s international airport.  

Zipcar international president Nicholas Cole said: “Today’s launch in Brussels marks a significant milestone for Zipcar. Not only are we extending our operations to another world-class city, but we are also excited to be launching our newest service, free-floating car sharing. Our proven ability in offering convenient access to a car, without the hassle of ownership, meets the need of our members to help them more easily navigate the city.”

He added: “This development in our offering means that we are the first global car-sharing network to offer a variety of different car club models around the world, according to different cities’ requirements. We look forward to welcoming Belgian members to our network.”
