Replacement vehicle hire when another vehicle is off the road.
If a car or van is unavailable because of repair, maintenance, damage or an unexpected fleet gap, a short-term rental can keep the driver or business moving without waiting for the original vehicle to return.
Cars and vans that can provide temporary replacement cover.
These groups are taken from the current website fleet data. Exact availability still depends on branch and dates.
Automatic Compact (2019-2023)
Automatic SUV (2019-2023)
Executive Automatic Compact (2019 - 2023)
Cover the gap without changing the long-term fleet.
A replacement rental can bridge a period when a vehicle is in a workshop, waiting for parts, undergoing planned maintenance or otherwise unavailable. Choose a vehicle group that matches the practical requirement, then return it when the temporary need ends.
For individual drivers and business fleets.
Individuals can search live availability and book online. Businesses with repeat replacement requirements can discuss an account arrangement, agreed rates and portal access so future rentals are easier to administer.
Keep the paperwork visible.
Approved business account users can access rental activity, invoices and credit notes through the portal. Where agreed, additional business features can include eligible tracking visibility and custom declarations before a rental proceeds.
Make the rental fit the requirement.
Cars and vans
Choose the temporary replacement around the journey, passengers or work rather than simply taking whatever is available.
Short-term flexibility
Use rental to cover the period the original vehicle is unavailable without adding a permanent vehicle to the fleet.
Business account tools
Regular users can discuss fixed agreed rates, online account access and a process suited to recurring replacement needs.
