The Car When You Need It experiment is part of a multimillion-pound research project led by the University of Leeds to encourage people in the city to try alternatives to private vehicle ownership.

It aims to explore whether having easy access to a car, but only when needed, could benefit local communities around Leeds.

Researchers aim to recruit between 30 and 50 households, with participants choosing between two options, which they would try out for three consecutive weeks this November.
