Streetcar was launched into the market in 2004 to provide
a viable mass-market alternative to car ownership and traditional car hire across Europe. Members can book online or by phone to hire any of Streetcar’s self-service vehicles for as little as 30 minutes or as long as 6 months.
Streetcar operates in over 800 locations within London, Brighton, Southampton, Maidstone, Guildford, Oxford and Cambridge. Streetcar’s membership has grown to 47,000 members and over 800 companies, SMEs and large corporations alike, have also chosen to use Streetcar for their business needs. To date, Streetcar is one of the fastest-growing clubs of its kind in the world.
PayPoint.net was approached by Streetcar in 2006 after being recommended by a colleague. Streetcar needed a payment provider that could allow them to take secure Card Not Present transactions over the phone. PayPoint.net was selected and remains today as Streetcar’s sole payment provider, facilitating debit and credit card payment processing for Streetcar members’ car and van usage.
Phil Marland, Head of IT, Streetcar.co.uk says:
‘The service implementation is comprehensive, allowing us to perform all required functions using simple interfaces and modern web-service technologies.
PayPoint.net has fulfilled an absolutely key role in Streetcar’s operations, being in continued use for over two years throughout massive growth and expansion at Streetcar.
This growth has been made possible by the fully integrated nature of all our systems. PayPoint.net is one of the most reliable components and one of the easiest to integrate.’
