A van's your only man
Wednesday March 10 2010
WITH an increasing number of companies promising to have 'the right goods, in the right place, at the right time', their first priority must be to invest in the right vehicles and have them available and working at all times.
Choosing the right car or van can be a difficult task. Whether you need to increase your fleet temporarily to meet increased workloads, replace a vehicle that is being repaired or when you're trying to decide which vehicle to buy, selfdrive hire rather than purchasing the vehicle could provide the ideal solution for your business.
With such a large investment at stake, when you're thinking of buying, you might find that hiring will provide a more solid platform on which to base your decision or it may just suit your business to hire the vehicle on a longterm contract.
The major benefit of hiring to a business is that its capital is not being tied up in what is essentially a depreciating asset. By hiring a vehicle over an extended period the company can negotiate a low rental rate and ensure that all servicing, repair and replacement costs are taken out of the equation.
Choosing the right selfdrive hire company is also a must. You'll need to find a professional outlet, with approachable staff. In short, a company which has your interests at heart.
Look for a company that offers a wide selection of models and, if necessary, ask for advice about the vehicle that would suit your needs. Price is always an important consideration, so check that the rates are competitive.
In conclusion, when you are considering the purchase of new vehicles for your business consider the advantages of selfdrive hire as this may free up working capital to your business and provide you with a hassle-free solution to your transport requirements.
