I've been debating buying a car for a while. Living in central London it seems a waste of cash and space to own a car. But there are times when we want to head out to the countryside for a few hours or pop down to the garden centre for a few bags of compost, which is a bit tricky to get home on the bus.
So when a couple of friends told me about Streetcar it sounded like the perfect solution. You can hire cars from 30 min slots upwards. The 24 hour rate is expensive but when you factor in the fuel which is included I think its only slightly more than regular car hire, but much more convenient. There are locations all around, we've got 3 cars two streets from us. So no more treking to the closest car hire place, and racing to get the car back before the hire company closes. With Streetcar there is total flexibility.
And the customer experience is amazing. Signing up took less than 15 min. I received my card in 2 days and was on the road within a week. I am developing a 'John Lewis' type devotion to StreetCar- its a fantastic concept superbly executed. I'm just jealous that I didn't start the company first!
