Local
authorities are increasingly supporting car clubs with funding
and provision of on-street parking. The Carplus accreditation
scheme has been launched as a tool for 
organisations to use in
assessing which clubs to support. With an official scheme in
place it will be quicker and easier to vet clubs and to be
consistent.
The scheme is also be useful for planning authorities requesting car club provision in a development: they can specify it should be an accredited club. Public transport operators will benefit from a system which allows them to vet who they work with on joint promotions and discounts.
NB: Car clubs benefit from using the accreditation logo in their marketing, but with a charge for administering each approval not all clubs will want to apply for accreditation. This does not mean they are not bona fide clubs. Indeed many smaller community based clubs will not face the situations where it is needed.
As the scheme has been set up for the benefit of public bodies, it was designed with their input. A working group of local authorities currently developing car clubs was convened by Carplus and a draft set of criteria was consulted on.
