What Is Flexible Fleet Hire?

Box Trucks__26T-Box-Sleeper-trans-shadow-with-white

Flexible fleet hire is a smarter way to manage your commercial vehicles, giving you the freedom to scale without the risks of ownership. Whether you’re responding to new contracts or navigating seasonal shifts, it helps you stay agile with access to the vehicles you need, for as long as you need them.

Agreements can be shaped around your operational requirements, typically spanning from a few months to multiple years. You can adjust your fleet as your needs evolve, with options to change vehicle types or tailor specifications, including fit-outs and company branding, at the outset of your agreement.

It’s a flexible, cost-effective model that supports financial planning, reduces capital burden and helps keep your operation moving efficiently.

How Flex-E-Rent Drives Business Growth

Flexible Makes a Huge Difference

“The pandemic drastically affected our business, but Enterprise’s flexibility made a huge difference. By downscaling our commitment at first and then increasing it again, paying only for what we need, we’ve been able to match our costs to our customers”

Kenny Henderson, Managing Director.
