They park different cars around the world, and when you need one you just pay online / over the phone and pick it up from the parking bay and go.
Rates start at £6 an hour, so if you only need it for a short time it works out pretty good value.Comment

Depends on the money on offer. London rates covers the monetary expense of living away but not the PITA factor.
More than an hour commute each way, I'd look to stay away from home a night or two a week.
Currently 10 min drive away from home!Comment
