Local cake designer, Simon's Bakery, is one of many businesses in the area that use Zipcar for Business to access vehicles when and where they need them.

Tooting-based Simon bakes contemporary, bespoke cakes for weddings & celebrations of any kind – special cakes for special occasions – delivering them across London. We met Simon as he was off to Lewisham & Mitcham to deliver a couple of Russian honey cakes, for which he is very highly regarded, having been given the seal of approval from his Eastern European and Russian customers!

With a passion for baking since he was a teenager, Simon was working as an accountant when he decided 'life's too short' and started hatching his escape plan, offering his cake-making services to friends & family. When the opportunity to take voluntary redundancy at work came about in 2017, he decided to make the leap and since then, has been doing what he loves every day!

Simon's used Zipcar for his business since day one. He tells us: "Zipcar's just so convenient for me – there's a car just 100 metres from my house. The boot also has enough carrying capacity for my tallest wedding cakes, which is obviously vital, as is the air con. Being an accountant by trade, I look at how much I spend on Zipcar against how much I would spend on leasing or buying a car and it simply makes more sense! The congestion charge is included in the price too."
