In April 2000 easyGroup set up the company with the only rental car available being the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.[4]
easyCar Club was launched by easyCar in February 2014 as a peer-to-peer rental scheme that allows members to rent under-used private cars from one another.[5] On 18 December 2018, easyCar Club informed members that it was ceasing operations to join forces with Turo, and offering incentives for easyCar Club members to join Turo.[6]
