THE van2go web site - launched by TLS Vehicle Rental in May - is proving a hit with home buyers and small property developers.

More than 40% of rentals made on the site are for the largest vans available on a standard driving licence and are being used either for self-house moves or to carry materials for individuals improving properties they have bought to let or resell.

www.van2go.co.uk marks the first time that the GE-owned commercial vehicle rental specialist has had an online presence aimed at the retail sector. The site is designed to be as easy to use as possible for customers, avoiding commercial vehicle industry language in favour of simply describing vans as small, medium and large while providing illustrations.
