New “Collect Me” service added to TLS Vehicle Rental’s van2go web site

July 20, 2009 - PRLog -- The retail and small business customers, who are the target consumers for the site, simply click on the “Collect Me” option when they book a van stating where and when they would like to be collected from and taken to the TLS branch where their hire vehicle is waiting.

TLS then makes a call to the customer confirming the booking within one business hour, also providing a cost for the “Collect Me” service based on time and distance travelled.

Simon Cook, Sales Leader, said: “van2go is all about providing an easy and cost effective van rental service to retail and small business customers, and ‘Collect Me’ is an option that will make that service even more convenient. We believe it could prove very popular.”

He added that van2go had been gathering momentum quickly since its launch at the start of the year with an especially strong June showing a notable spike in sales.

Cook said: “Mainly through word of mouth recommendations, van2go is gaining popularity and we are optimistic that we will see strong results through the remainder of the summer.”

www.van2go.co.uk gives retail and small business customers the ability to book online any vehicle from a car-derived van from TLS Vehicle Rental through panel vans of various sizes up to a maximum of 7.5 tonnes. A selection of cars is available too.

Prices start at £26.99 per day including VAT and collision damage waiver, with vehicle collection from any of TLS’s 30 branches across the UK. If you are using the van to move house, you can even buy cardboard boxes and tea chests online as well.
