Looking to save money on your trips across the UK? DriiveMe offers one-way car and van rentals for just £1. The principle is simple ... Car rental companies need to move their vehicles on a daily basis in order to balance their fleet across the UK. The conventional approach is very expensive as it involves transportation trucks and professional drivers. DriiveMe generates significant savings for vehicle owners such as rental companies by relocating their vehicles using private individuals who need to carry out the very same trips for just £1. Everyone wins! Every day, many vehicles available on different routes are published on the DriiveMe platform. Members of the public in search of low-cost car journeys can then choose a route, date and time which suits. After booking for £1, the driver carries out the journey paying only for fuel and tolls along the way. Should a sought after route not be be available, the user can easily set an alert in order to be notified once the route in question is uploaded on the platform. Find out more on www.driiveme.co.uk
