Zimbl Returns

Published: 24 March 2025

Haddenham Parish Council is excited to announce the return of the Electric Car Hire provision in the village, in collaboration with our new partners, Zimbl. Starting in May, two new electric vehicles (EVs) will be available for hourly hire, offering a sustainable and convenient transport solution.

The enhanced service now includes the option for the hirer to have the vehicle delivered to and collected from their homes free of charge, within Haddenham and Thame. This new level of service aims to make it even easier for residents to access electric vehicles, furthering the council's commitment to reducing the village’s carbon footprint.

Zimbl do not require users to pay deposits or membership fees to use their service, but you do need to be over 25 and have a valid license. Just visit www.zimbl.co.uk and click the link to your preferred smartphone APP and download it to your phone. There are just three simple steps to get verified and then you are ready to book your first ride. Your phone becomes your car key. First time users can use the code HADDENHAM2025 for a 10% discount off their first booking.

The EV cars will be stationed at Banks Park, which serves as the heart of the village, ensuring easy access for hirers who chose to collect the car from Bank’s Park themselves.

This initiative not only offers a practical alternative for those needing a second car but also supports the community’s environmental goals.

To learn more about the service and get a first look at the electric cars, join us at the Vale Harvest event at Banks Park on 5^th April and 3^rd May. The EV car hire service will officially launch in May.
