Long term car hire for business

$17mma

My husband is employed as a contractor and will be set up as self-employed, we would like to hire a car long term, pref on an annual or six monthly basis for his work.

Can any one please recommend any long term hire companies with good rates?

It's going to be very expensive compared with 24/36 month lease.

Firm I work for use Europcar for everything from daily rental to longer term hire - they have a big contract with them though.

What he said...^^^

We had long term spot hire if that makes sense.... on vans via T LS and B.R.S... Was reasonably cheap but on our own fleet insurance & recovery.

They'll hire you anything on any terms.... but it may not work out best pricewise.

Contract with Europcar I was talking about is self-insured too - I don't know if they offer that to anyone or not though

Not sure..... As said doesnt always work out best ££ wise but it can work to fill a gap.....I think maybe for the OP they would be better looking at a Lease etc.

The major benefit we had with long term hire was if work dried up the vans would go back the same night.... more work came in... we could add as we wished... Plus the maintenance was their problem.

Oh yes!!!...

One of the companies stopped us Hiring in the end over a Dispute of a huge Bill for re-plylining,cosmetic damage and valeting it was the last pair we had and they spat it.... I used to stick them through the cheap jet wash at Asdas inside and out before taking them back:D This wasnt good enough it seemed.....
