25th Jun / Biggest Event in our History

What makes us good at what we do ?

The same as any other business the team, who deliver the product and service, and they were tested to the full recently when we undertook the biggest single event in our short history.

A single telephone call and what unfolded was both exciting and ultimately extremely challenging.

Rechtslenker Singapore Training Hockenheimring !!

The task to deliver 24 cars to Hockenheim circuit to support a unique event to convince European business leaders that driving right hand drive cars is actually quite ok and quite safe…which of course we in the UK understand fully.

The event was huge and our role in delivering the day was significant.

Monday lunchtime we loaded a number of transporters and set off for Germany, Friday lunchtime everything was valeted inspected and ready to resume normal service having been transported a total of 1200 kms taken part in a full days activity and then transported back.

The cars covered less than 100 miles on the day as they were involved in a range of simple driving activities (what we would consider simple) behind a Range Rover pace car (which was also ours one of 4 we sent) as the guests came to grips with driving on the right side….

There is some interesting footage take a look

Funny thing is as the last car left us on the following Satuday morning for it’s weekend customer looking absolutely pristine, as I watched it leave the empty building… it made me realise that only the best teams can deliver that level of service and still ensure that every customer had his or her expectations met in the space of 7 days a typical busy week here at dreamcarhire……….

The guys slept well that weekend.
