Your key to greener business travel
Hiyacar pool cars are back
We’re excited to announce the relaunch of our electric pool cars for business travel. These vehicles are available for staff Monday to Friday during working hours, with convenient bases in Haddington, Dunbar and Musselburgh and they can be booked online and picked up using the Hiyacar app. No need for a key, just unlock with your phone and drive.
Outside of working hours, the cars can be hired by the public in the evenings and at weekends, making them a shared resource for the whole community.
Why choose electric pool cars?
Cut carbon emissions
Every mile driven in an electric pool car saves around 120g of CO₂ compared to a petrol car – helping us hit our climate targets faster.
Travel smarter
Use pool cars for business trips and commute sustainably – by bus, train, bike, or on foot – knowing you have a car ready for meetings or site visits.
Convenient locations
Vehicles are based in Haddington, Dunbar, and Musselburgh, so the majority of council staff are never far from a greener option.
Community benefit
When you’re not using them, these cars are available for public hire, helping more people access low-carbon transport. Tell your friends and neighbours in East Lothian and help spread the word.
