Subscription firm Mycardirect, which was launched in 2020 by CEO Duncan Chumley, has been joined by a sister company Myvandirect for light commercial vehicles.
The group, which now has a fleet size of 500 cars and vans, said that vans had always been a “key element” of the Mycardirect business model but stronger than expected demand meant it was added earlier than originally planned.
Adding to the range of subscription vehicles on offer – city cars, family saloons, SUV’s, petrol, diesel, hybrid and fully electric – will be small and medium sized vans, offered with a range of powertrains.
The firm offers all-inclusive package, with no maintenance, RFL, MOT or replacement tyre worries, transparent. Subscription periods range from one to 24 months. There is a one-off life membership £250 joining fee.
Chumley said “These are exciting times. We are delighted with the consumer response to the launch of Mycardirect and have been hugely encouraged by the demand for the addition of vans to our customer proposition.
I am confident that this timely business expansion will see our customer base grow ever larger.”
Mycardirect was founded to simplify business vehicles solutions provide an “alternative short-term rental, commitment of long-term leasing, and the complexity of van ownership.”
