NCR - Mini Project








What’s the best way to hire a car? If you were to walk into a Car Hire Garage, would they have something available there and then, probably not? Pre-booking is the only way to guaranty a car whether it’s booking online or by phone. Traditional companies such as Focus Vehicle Rental give a friendly service, where all your questions are answered there and then by a member of staff. On the other hand, new innovative company Street Car, have targeted London with their new hour by hour car hire scheme. All you need to do is register on-line, you then receive a card which is used to open the car. The cars are scattered across the city, and each have an allocated parking space.


Is Street Car the way forward? In a city like London you can see how it may be very successful, but would it work in other smaller cities like Aberdeen? I don’t think so.
