Priya spotted the opportunity in Wolverhampton's airport transfer market. By renting the Toyota Voxy 7-Seater from SMV and targeting UberXL and private group bookings, she built a premium income stream.

She rented the Toyota Voxy 7-Seater from SMV at £150/week — more than a Prius but justified by higher XL fares.
