We all have a mate named Dave who owns a knackered old van. "Just borrow Dave’s," someone says. Sure. Dave’s van has a gear stick that feels like a spoon in a jar of jam, smells faintly of wet dog and regret, and has a radio that only plays static. Meanwhile, Enterprise Flex-e-rent offers vans that actually start on the first turn. They’re clean. They have cup holders. It’s like going from a flip phone to the latest smartphone—you can’t believe you endured the old way.
You don’t need to be a commercial driver to use these vehicles. You just need a license and a sudden urge to transport a sofa across the M8. And yes, the M8 is a character in this story—it’s the angry, unpredictable relative you have to visit twice a year.
