If you operate a small or medium-sized car and van hire company, you are likely to need a computer system to manage bookings, invoicing, rental agreements and customer records, as well as back office functions like reporting.

The cost of developing a bespoke system to suit your requirements will almost certainly be prohibitive, and this is where Prohire comes in.

Founded in 1996, Prohire specialises in providing a complete vehicle hire software solution. The firm recently celebrated the addition of the 500th rental location to use its software, when Wrexham-based Jolly Good Van Hire opened its newest branch, in Colwyn Bay.

Commenting on the Prohire service, Mark Hughes, managing director of Jolly Good, said:

“Prohire have been our rental software partner from day one. The quality management information the software provides gives excellent controls within our business”

As well as all of the back office functionality that car and van hire companies require, Prohire also provides a web interface for its customers, that allows vehicle hire firms to take online bookings without the considerable expense and complexity of developing their own booking engines.

Prohire is based on the Kent Science Park, near Sittingbourne,  and is also used by smaller, independent companies with as little as one branch, such as vanrental.co.uk advertiser Seymour Self Drive Hire & Storage, which is based in nearby Larkfield (near Maidstone).
