Car rentals and business: can the two really go hand-in-hand?

Often referred to as corporate car rental, business car rental is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to car leasing and the purchase and maintenance of expensive company fleets. Plenty of UK car hire companies now offer better deals than the even cheapest car hire Spain, France, or anywhere else in Europe has to offer.

More and more UK car rental providers are able to offer businesses of all sizes flexible and a tailor-made service to help them meet the needs of their business and customers whilst also helping them dramatically reduce their employees transport costs.

First of all, it’s handy to know that companies are now able to offer a wide range of options available, and with that in mind, it’s worth considering what you’ll need to look for when choosing a rental company that’s right for you and your business.

So how would your business benefit from corporate car hire? Well, whether it’s short or long-term car hire you’re looking for, business car rental tariffs often come out at a lower and more competitive price than those of a leased vehicle.

Car rental companies now fully grasp the fact that business needs often prove to be unpredictable, and changes to travel itineraries will regularly occur at the eleventh hour. In order to meet the ever-changing needs of small and large businesses alike, many car hire services provide businesses with their very own account manager who is dedicated to developing a corporate care hire programme to suit their client’s individual needs.

Services that they offer include providing national and international tariffs, door-to-door delivery and collection, online and telephone booking channels, multiple payment options and monthly management reporting. This way, business managers can keep track of their usage, spending, and work with their account manager to reduce costs even further.

Businesses will work with their dedicated corporate account manager to develop a rental package that truly works for them and their business, ensuring also that cars are available whenever the needs of the business call for them.

The affordable luxury of having a company manage your business’ car fleet allows business managers to concentrate on actually doing business, leaving the transport to the experts.
