Has anyone tried the hourly car hire companies such as StreetCar (
http://www.mystreetcar.co.uk ) or CityCarClub (
http://www.smartmoves.co.uk ).

Also http://www.urbigo.com/ - a service of Avis.

The only one in my area is mystreetcar, which is very expensive. The
others mentioned here are cheaper, but have fewer locations. I'd
personally find it very useful, but will have to wait until more locations
come on board.

The £500 insurance excess with StreetCar is way too high for me. The City
Carclub looks cheaper but as you said, there needs to be more locations.
