Reasons for Decision
1.The proposed extension of the contracts by one year
is due to the resilience and good performance that Zipcar has
demonstrated especially considering the impact that Covid-19 has
had on the service. It will also allow sufficient time to procure a
broad service incorporating three models of car sharing to increase
the number of available vehicles to residents, introduce
competition to the market and meet the financial shortfall
generated by the departure of Drive Now from the UK
market.
