When Eamon Hyland needed an extra vehicle to cope with a surge in orders at his decorating business in south London, he turned to Streetcar.

The car-sharing club is best known for renting pay-as-you-go small cars to cost-conscious Londoners for quick shopping runs or weekend trips, but Mr Hyland secured a Volkswagen Transporter van to help with deliveries for his small business. He likes the service's flexibility and all-in rates, which cover insurance and all other overheads needed to run the vehicle, including fuel.
