Vehicle rental

When it comes to choosing the right vehicle, there are a number of things to consider. Click the buttons below.​

1. Reason

2. Passengers

3. Load space

4. Type of roads

5. Destination

6. When

1. What is the reason for your vehicle rental?

Whether you are without a vehicle and need a short term replacement, need to hire a vehicle for business reasons, or going on holiday and need more space, there is certain to be the right vehicle for your needs. To find the perfect rental vehicle, first, you need to consider what you need it for.​

If you need a short term replacement, it is worth considering the type of vehicle you are replacing and where you mainly drive. 
If you need to hire a vehicle for business trips, it is worth considering how many people will be in the vehicle, if you have a preference of size or style and the type of roads you will be driving on. 
If you need a vehicle for your holiday, it is worth considering how many people are going, how much you will be bringing with you and what your final destination is.​

2. How many passengers will you have?

If you are using the vehicle as a short term replacement, consider how many people travel with you in your daily routine. For business or holiday purposes, think about the number of passengers you might need to accommodate for.​​

3. How much load space will you need?

​If you are using the rental vehicle as a short term replacement, consider how much storage space you use on a daily basis. For holiday or business purposes, ​think about how much space you will need for luggage or stock.​

4. What type of roads will you drive on?

If you are using the rental vehicle as a short term replacement, consider what type of roads you drive on to get to work, school, home. If you are hiring a vehicle or holiday or business purposes, think about the type of roads on your journey.​

5. Where is your destination?

​For a short term replacement, consider the space you have to park the vehicle at home. For business or holiday purposes, consider what you will be taking to your destination and what you will be using the vehicle for once you're there.​

6. When and how long will you be hiring the vehicle?

When and how long you will be hiring a vehicle can determine the type of vehicle you will need. If you are using the rental vehicle as a short term replacement, consider whether you want to try something new for a short time or if you want a similar replacement. If you are hiring a vehicle for holiday or business purposes, think about what type of vehicle you will need to suit the weather.​
