New runyourcars.com web service signs up to 1link platforms

A new web site-based service designed to provide company car and van based

operators with a range of online services has signed up to two 1link

platforms.


runyourcars.com is headed up by ex-RAC Fleet Services manager Steve

Whitmarsh and is part of Multifleet Vehicle Management.


Its offering is based on delivering a range of essential fleet services such

as maintenance, driver services, risk management, grey fleet control and

daily rental through an online fleet management portal - all at preferential

buying terms thanks to its overall fleet size.


To support this range of services, runyourcars.com has adopted the 1link

Service Network service and maintenance and 1link Hire Network daily rental

e-commerce platforms provided by epyx.


Steve Whitmarsh, managing director of runyourcars.com, explained: "Our whole

offering is based around a model of delivering to fleets of all sizes the

kind of cost and service advantages that are normally only available to the

very largest vehicle operators.


"Signing up to the 1link platforms is an important element in making this

proposition work and will help us to deliver important benefits to customers

in the key areas of maintenance and daily rental."


Ken Trinder, head of business development at epyx, added: "runyoucars.com is

one of the more interesting new ideas to be seen in the fleet arena in

recent years and we are very pleased to be part of this project. There is

definite potential."
