The UK’s first ever contactless car hire service has launched in central London – allowing drivers to collect a vehicle at any time without the need to come into contact with anyone.
EnjoyTravel.com has teamed up with EasiRent to launch the new 24-hour system at locations in Kings Cross and Marble Arch, where drivers can reserve a car online before picking up the keys from a secure Smartbox collection point.
Martin Mansell, Chief Executive Officer at EnjoyTravel.com, said: “As lockdown lifts and the UK returns to a new normal, many people understandably feel uncomfortable using public transport and are looking for safer ways to travel.
“This new partnership with EnjoyTravel.com and EasiRent eliminates unnecessary risks, such as waiting in queues or speaking to staff face-to face, and vehicles are cleaned thoroughly before each use.
“The online process is quick, simple and available round-the-clock, with no need to sign up for membership and no monthly fees.”
To use the contactless system, drivers can visit EnjoyTravel.com to make a reservation. The customer service team will get in touch and the key will then be available to collect from a designated Smartbox location.
