Hertz 24/7 Hourly Van Hire Now At Costco

Hertz logo

The Hertz 24/7 hourly van hire service has been available at selected B&Q branches for a number of years now, but the firm recently announced that it had signed an agreement with cash-and-carry chain Costco to make the Hertz short-term van rental service available to Costco members (see here for more info on hourly van hire).

The Hertz 24/7 service will be available at all 25 Costco branches in the UK, with van hire rates starting from just £13 per hour. At present, only one type of van — a long wheelbase Ford Transit — is available. Costco customers wanting to use the Hertz 24/7 vans will need to set up an account, following which they will be able to book vans as needed, in advance, or on the spot for immediate use.

Commenting on the expanded service, Michel Taride, group president, Hertz International, said:

“We have been growing our global van rental offering through Hertz 24/7 for over five years. Our Hertz 24/7 service enables Costco to provide its members with an attractive and efficient van delivery service.

“Hertz takes care of providing and maintaining the fleet and handling all customer transactions while Costco’s members can enjoy the convenience of taking their purchases home straightaway, rather than waiting for the goods to be delivered in the future.”

You can find out more about the Costco/Hertz 24/7 short-term hire service on the Hertz 24/7 website.

Hire A Van With Europcar From Just £14.50 Per Day!

Europcar van hire

Hire a van with Europcar from just £14.50 per day

According to the Met Office, winter ends in 7 days, on the 28th February.

Personally, I think it’s a little early for spring cleaning, but with the housing market taking off and mild weather making gardening a reality, tips to the tip and DIY removals are definitely the order of the day.

To help you get things off to a flying start, Europcar is running a special spring offer:

THIS OFFER HAS NOW EXPIRED

Most cars aren’t really suitable for jobs like this, and using a hire van instead can take the strain off your car and prevent you having to make multiple trips and protect the inside of your car from scratches, dirt and damage. Although driving a van is a little different to driving a car, modern vans are quite easy to drive, here at vanrental.co.uk, we’ve put together these tips to help you get started.

Commenting on the offer, Ken McCall, Managing Director, Europcar UK Group, said:

“Removing clutter that’s been taking up precious space is a liberating experience and there is no better time to do this than during the traditional ‘spring clean’ period. With van hire from as little as £14.50 per day, hopefully that will provide families with the motivation needed to have a clear out and make a fresh start for spring.  And, because driving a van is different from driving a car, we offer advice to customers to help them stay safe, both on our website and when they pick up the vehicle.”

Europcar has over 200 locations across the UK, including a presence at all major UK airports, with many branches open 24 hours a day. The firm’s fleet contains a wide range of vans, and all popular van sizes are available, including Iveco Daily and Ford Transit panel vans, right up to bigger luton box vans. All Europcar vans are fully maintained to manufacturer specifications, and are covered by 24 hour breakdown, for added peace of mind.

Surge In Van Rental Demand From Trade Customers

vanrental.co.uk vanWhite van man could be making a comeback, according to new figures from hire and leasing firm Motiva Group, which has seen a 25% jump in van rental demand over the last five months, along with a similar surge in short-term lease deals.

Peter Davenport, managing director of hire and leasing firm Motiva Group, said:

“Demand for vans has shot up massively in recent months. That part of our business was busy throughout 2013, but things really picked up around the end of last summer and there has been a noticeable difference ever since.

“As soon as we bring vans in, they’re gone and we’ve boosted our fleet twice in five months just to keep pace. Businesses are taking on new trade vehicles in big numbers and I can only see the trend continuing into the second quarter and well beyond.”

Gerry Keaney, chief executive of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, reckons increasing demand for vans is good news for the country as a whole, saying:

“Van rental serves as a useful barometer for the state of the UK economy as transport is obviously a vital tool of any growing business. There was a particularly strong demand in 2013 and a 20 per cent increase in our members’ short-term van rental fleet.

Motiva Group, based in Stoke-on-Trent, has this week added an extra 50 small, short wheelbase and long wheelbase panel vehicles to a van fleet which now totals around 650.

Davenport added:

“Those figures mean we’ve increased our van fleet by almost a quarter, so it shows just how much demand has picked up in a few months. In fact, we’re now back to the levels of trade business we were seeing before the economy took a nosedive in around 2007/2008.”

The increase in van rentals seen by Motiva is being echoed by the demand for HGVs, which more than doubled in 2013. After completing 48 contracts for HGVs in 2012, the company’s M-Way truck solutions arm took 98 over the course of last year.

“There was a predictable drop in the call for both vans and trucks during the midst of the economic downturn”, said Davenport. Businesses weren’t sure when the market would recover so they were keeping their vehicles much longer.

But the economy has picked up and it seems like companies and even independent tradespeople are now showing much greater appetite to renew.”
