How Enfield Council uses flexible rental to keep vital services running — and save money, too.

Flex-E-Rent are commercial vehicle experts, so they understand what I’m asking for, why it’s important, and can deliver it quickly, without any fuss. Whether it’s a 7.5-tonne tipper with Chapter 8 and a tow bar or a wheelchair-accessible minibus, I can just pick up the phone, confident they will have what I need.

In all the years we’ve worked with them, I’ve never had to question anyone’s knowledge or chase up an issue. The peace of mind this gives me is invaluable and it means I can focus on what matters most to the Council and the residents of Enfield.

The flexibility we get from renting with Enterprise Flex-E-Rent is absolutely vital. For example, when we wanted to bolster refuse and recycling services in our parks, we rented 3.5-tonne cage tippers on a flexible, short-term contract.

This enabled us to prove the concept before committing further capital. And when a children’s transport contractor went into liquidation, Flex-E-Rent stepped in and delivered 25 wheelchair-accessible vehicles in under four weeks—no other rental firm could have matched that. 

Because of this, we didn’t miss a single day’s transport service for the children who rely on us. This is just one of many situations where working with Flex-E-Rent has made a real difference, not just to Enfield Council, but to the people and businesses we serve.

“Flex-E-Rent supplies the vehicles we need, when we need them, at a cost-effective rate. It’s as simple as that.”
