10D BIG q

Read the Streetcar casestudy on page 160 of the black books. Why would a traditional car company struggle to hire out vehicles for just 30 minutes?

  1. it would be a struggle because they charge hourly and if the customer only wants the car for half an hour they would have to spend a while finding the car and the time they use the car cannot easily be recorded.
    as well as this there is the trouble with tracking the car. the company will also need lots of offices near to where the cars are.

  2. They would need to deal with things like:
    - Theft
    - Drivers without licenses
    - Accessability
    - Locations (they would need a lot more people working at each location)
    - Methods of payment (knowing exactly how long they have been driving for)

  3. Traditional car compinies don't have enough technology to be able to track cars. With the many IT aspects that steetcar has they are able to be sure that the customer won't steal the car. Also if all the transactions had to be carried out by humans it wouldn't be worth the customers time, with the technology streetcar is also very quick and efficient

  5. Because they do not have the technology to carry this out. This is because you would need a large budget to start and you would need a large workforce. From Andy and Joe :) xxxxxxx

  6. a traditional car company would struggle to rent out cars for 30 minuetes because the people wouldnt have enough time to get to the office to collect the car in just 30 minutes. Also they would need loads of offices so people wouldnt have to go so far but this would be to expensive for the company.

  8. It would be hard for them to charge the customer as they only work on an hourly charge rate.

  9. they would struggle because the customer would have to travel to the company to get the car so it wouldnt seem worth it for just 30 minutes
