A method and system for providing access to a users vehicle to a delivery service provider and in which the vehicle has a remote keyless entry RKE receiver configured to receive an electromagnetic signal to unlock the vehicle. The method and system comprises receiving service user information including a service user identifier for identifying the user of the service; receiving vehicle information to identify the vehicle associated with the user of the service and receiving key generation information to enable an electronic device to generate an electromagnetic signal compatible with the RKE receiver of the vehicle. The service user information, the vehicle information and the key generation information are stored in association with one another, in a database, to enable provision of the key generation information to the delivery service provider following an authenticated request. The electromagnetic signal may unlock a compartment of the vehicle while leaving other compartments in a locked state. The electronic device may be on-board the vehicle and may generate the signal based upon a received instruction signal, which is preferably received from a wireless communication device. Conversely, the electronic device may be a wireless communication device itself. The location of the vehicle may be tracked.
