From Rent to Buy to AfterCare: Raymond’s PCO journey with Otto Car

The Otto Team

When Raymond first joined Otto Car, he was looking for stability and a clear path to car ownership. Like many private hire drivers, he’d spent time renting cars and wanted something more reliable, rewarding, and flexible - a plan that would truly fit his lifestyle.

Finding the right plan with Otto Car

Raymond began his journey with our Rent to Buy plan, which allowed him to work towards owning his car while driving full-time as a PCO driver. He says it gave him the freedom to plan for the future without worrying about complicated finance agreements or unreliable vehicles.

“The thing I love most about being a PCO driver is the freedom. I have time to spend with my family, do what I want to do, and go where I want to go.”

Over the past five years, Raymond has found that having everything in one place - from insurance to maintenance and breakdown cover - made all the difference. Moving from private rentals to owning his own car completely changed the game for him.

Now that Raymond owns his car, he’s taken the next step by joining our AfterCare plan. As a Rent to Buy graduate, he was eligible to continue his Otto Car journey with this all-in-one package designed to help him drive with confidence and peace of mind every day.

“I’d recommend AfterCare to other drivers - it’s less stress and hassle. At the end of the day, it’s an affordable payment every driver should be able to manage.”
