WhipCar簡介
WhipCar於2010年由WhipCar團隊於英國倫敦推出，並在三年內蔓延全國。於2013年3月12號宣布關閉汽車共享服務。
WhipCar是一家提供點對點的汽車共享網站。提倡網站成員共享周邊鄰居的汽車，促使社區化網路進一步發展。
WhipCar運營期間平均每天有400名旅客瀏覽其網站。
WhipCar理念
“WhipCar is a neighbour to neighbour car rental service and car club. Love thy neighbour, drive their car.”即他們的主題理念是提倡“鄰居”與“鄰居”之間共享汽車，愛他們的車，開他們的車。
這種就是點對點的汽車共享模式。
“the Neighbour to Neighbour Car Club and Car Rental Service”即鄰居之間的租車服務與汽車俱樂部。這也是他們網站的標題。
WhipCar關閉
2013年3月12號，WhipCar正式宣布關閉並停止了為期3年的汽車共享服務。

Dear customers and friends,
When we launched WhipCar in April 2010, we embarked on a very exciting mission. We were the first to offer car owners the chance to make better use of their cars and offset the rising costs of motoring by renting to their neighbours.
We are sad to say that, at this time, we have decided to close WhipCar.
In many ways, WhipCar has been a success. We were able to shift commonly-held perceptions of car sharing and ownership with the help of so many integral WhipCar community members. We have been able to boast that drivers in urban areas such as central London could access convenient, cost-effective and friendly WhipCar rentals within five minutes of their doorstep.
However, while so many of you saw the future, we have discovered there are still barriers to widespread adoption of peer-to-peer car rental in the UK. As a small team with limited resources, we have taken a good long look at these scaling challenges. And, after much thought, we have made the extremely difficult decision to close WhipCar. We would like to thank our wonderful community members, our colleagues and our investors for their incredible support over the past three exciting years.
What this means for our customers:
Beginning March 12th 2013, we are no longer accepting any new bookings or new membership. Members will no longer be able to log-in and access our site.
Bookings due to begin on or after March 12th have been cancelled, and all affected drivers have been fully refunded.
Owners with bookings ending in March will be paid during the week beginning March 18th and will be notified when this payment has been issued.
If you are a WhipCar member, you may want to take a look at our FAQs for some useful information. If you have any further questions regarding our closure, an interest in our technology or opportunities for the future, feel free to get in touch by emailing us at hi@whipcar_com. Please understand that we are prioritising our existing members when responding to incoming email and that we will try to get back to you as soon as we can.
Thank you again for your support and for taking the leap with us into peer-to-peer car rental. We’re proud to have had a chance to push the boundaries of the sharing economy, and we can’t wait to see where it heads next.
All the best,
The WhipCar Team

親愛的客戶朋友們，
當我們2010年4月推出WhipCar，我們開始了一個非常令人興奮的任務。我們為第一個車主（租用他們的鄰居以更好地利用他們的汽車和抵消駕駛成本的上升）提供了服務。
但是，我們必須痛心地說，在這個時候，我們已決定關閉WhipCar。
在許多方面，WhipCar已經取得了成功。我們在WhipCar社區這么多的的成員的幫助下，堅持汽車共享和轉移普遍所有權的觀念。我們已經可以自豪地說在城市地區，如倫敦市中心可以方便的訪問服務，在WhipCar友好維持成本效益和租金的時，在五分鐘內到達他們的家門口。
雖然你們那么多人看到了未來，但是我們已經發現了在英國廣泛採用的對等汽車租賃仍然存在障礙。限於一個小團隊僅能利用的有限資源，我們已經採取了好多的方式面對這些尺度的挑戰。左思右想，我們做了非常艱難的決定，關閉WhipCar。我們要感謝我們美好的社區成員，我們的同事和我們的投資者，他們在過去的三年里提供了令人興奮的，令人難以置信的支持。
這對我們的客戶意味著什麼：
從2013年3月12號開始，我們不再接受任何新的預訂或新的成員。成員們將不再能夠登錄並訪問我們的網站。
於2013年3月12日開始已取消預訂，所有受影響的司機已經全額退還。
業主預訂在3月結束支付，並將於3月18日開始的一星期已發出通知時，此付款。
如果你是一個WhipCar的成員，你看看我們的常見問題解答板塊，那裡有一些有用的信息。
如果您對我們關閉我們的技術有任何進一步的建議，或者能提供未來的機會，請隨時通過電子郵件聯繫我們：hi@whipcar_com。請理解，我們優先考慮我們的現有成員作出這樣的回應，發來的電子郵件，我們會儘量給您回復。
再次感謝您對我們汽車租賃的支持。我們很榮幸有機會推動資源經濟共享，我們迫不及待地希望看到它的發展。
WhipCar的團隊致上！
