4 ways Delivery and Collection has changed the game

Better sleep, happier children and no limit on baggage...

Written by Freddie Roux

By now you’ve probably heard… We’ve launched a new feature that allows you to have one of our cars delivered to you, amazing right? Whilst we know that pick up is perfect for the majority of you, with one of our 15+ stations in London just a short trip around the corner, we wanted to make sure Virtuo was accessible for everyone. Your mind might already be drifting off thinking of all the ways this new feature is going to improve your life and that is only natural. In case you needed prompting, we’re going to show you how you can have more sleep, happier children (who ask fewer questions!) and a reason to never need to do an MOT again. 

1. Lie-in

Work hard, play hard. It’s the simple rule of life that has been passed down generations, but one part that often gets missed is the ‘sleep hard’ part. Did you know: 25% of the UK get on average 5-6 hours of sleep a night. In fact, 35% of people said they would pay £245 for an extra hour of sleep a night. Well, put your money away and picture this: it's 8 am on a Saturday, you’ve just woken up as you’ve got a family lunch down in Surrey that means you need to be there for 11 am, it's time to go and get the car. Now picture this, it's 9.30 am you've just woken up as you’ve got a family lunch down in Surrey that means you need to be there for 11 am, the car? It’s parked up outside ready when you’re. Your catch up with the rents just got a whole lot easier! 

2. Access

We now cover the majority of London zones 1-3. So, to those in Wimbledon, Chiswick, Stoke Newington and Dulwich - this service is for you! Whilst our stations are not a million miles away we get that perhaps they’re a little out your way. Our goal is to make Virtuo accessible for everyone and truly unlock the whole of London. Now you can pick your next house in the knowledge you don’t have to worry about whether you’re close to a Virtuo station or not! If we don’t cover your area then just drop us a DM on Instagram

3. Luggage

Fact: packing is not fun. A simple mistake like forgetting your plug converter can mean instead of perusing the large bars of Toblerone in the airport you instead find yourself paying well over the odds for something you already have! But, if there's one thing worse than packing, it’s lugging your suitcase around. Our cars are perfect for a staycation with the Cotswolds quickly becoming the heartland of Virtuo. We get that you need to take your running kit, nice clothes for a dinner out and your walking boots for a hike. With this in mind, we’ve been plotting how we can make your dream to take as many bags as you can fit in the GLA a reality. Thanks to Delivery and Collection there is now no need to strut along the pavement tripping up on your 4 suitcases. Get the bags out your front door, enjoy the game of bag based Tetris and let us take care of the rest!

4. Kids

‘Are we nearly there yet’, ‘I need the toilet’, ‘i’m hungry’- oh the joys of travelling with kids! We are the perfect choice when it comes to a family day out in the countryside but travelling via public transport isn’t. Parents, when you said you don’t need added stress in your life, we heard you! Delivery and Collection means now all you need to worry about is making the sandwiches and picking the next destination. The car? It’s on the way.

We're here for you...

Don’t forget, in these uncertain times we are here to help with all your travel needs. All our cars go through a rigorous 4 step cleaning process using government recommended products after every rental. Not only that but we go the extra mile by including hand wipes in every car!
