Budget Car and Van Rental has taken delivery of 100 new Mercedes-Benz Citan vans.

Budget Car and Van Rental has opened a new car and van hire branch at the Birmingham NEC.

The new location will mean that Budget operates four branches in and around Birmingham.

The other locations are:

• Birmingham International Airport
• Hodge Hill Tesco Extra, B36 8DT
• 17 Horsefair, B1 1DB

According to Nina Bell, who is Avis Budget managing director for the northern region, the NEC holds more than 500 events year year, attracting 2.1m visitors and 33,000 exhibitors. Budget expects the new branch to see strong demand from a wide range of customers as word spreads of its convenient location.
