Driver Requirements & Insurance
To ensure a smooth and complaint experience when renting corporate vehicles, it’s important that drivers meet specific requirements.
To rent corporate vehicles, drivers must:
- Be 23-69 years old to hire a car or van
- Be 25-69 years old to hire an MPV
- Have a valid government-issued licence for the vehicle type
- Must have relevant, current endorsements
- Have no serious violations or suspensions
- Have suitable insurance, for example, liability, collision, comprehensive, and more
- Must have correct documentation
By meeting these requirements, corporate clients can drive with confidence knowing they have addressed both legal obligations and insurance responsibilities.
Mileage Policies for Corporate Vehicle Hire
At Rent Direct, our corporate clients can make use of our flexible mileage arrangements. All we ask is that you provide an estimate of your expected mileage during the hire term, and we can provide you with an accurate quote.
Open a corporate vehicle rental account
Whether you're attending a client meeting, transporting a group of employees, or require a fleet of vehicles for the long term, we have a range of stock to suit. Our corporate contracts are flexible and cost-effective to meet your requirements and business needs.
You have two options for insurance coverage when renting our corporate vehicles:
- Use your company's fleet insurance policy – if your company has one, you can use it to cover the rented vehicles.
- Purchase Rent Direct’s insurance – if you don’t have your own policy, you can buy insurance directly from us. However, this is subject to standard driving licence checks.
Corporate vehicle hire in East Anglia and Hertfordshire is available in Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, and Huntingdon, and is designed to ensure you get all the space and drivability you need from a hire car, hire van, or hire MPV.

Corporate Vehicle Hire Fleet
Here at Rent Direct, it’s our aim to provide motorists across East Anglia and Hertfordshire with some of the very finest vehicles to hire.
An MPV is ideal if you need extra space for people or luggage. Unlike a standard-sized car, MPVs can carry extra luggage and extra people. Our fleet includes a wide range of MPVs, from compact 7-seater SUVs like the Skoda Kodiaq to 9-seater MPVs like the Ford Tourneo Custom.
Alternatively, our car fleet consists of small city cars like the Kia Picanto, mid-sized cars like the Volkswagen Golf, and larger SUV-type cars like the Kia Sorento. Each boasts advanced in-car technology plus the latest safety features, promising you a safe and convenient driving experience every time.
Corporate vehicle hire optionsÂ

From small and compact hire cars to large and full-sized options, all of our cars come with flexible hire terms to suit your schedules. We can even provide EVs!Â
Business van hireÂ

Whether it’s for a one-off project or longer-term van use, Rent Direct can help you drive away in the perfect hire van for you.Â
Business MPV hire
For transporting teams, clients, or larger groups, our business MPV hire offers comfort, versatility, and ample luggage space. Ideal for corporate events and staff outings, our MPVs ensure your business travel is as convenient and stress-free as possible.Â
Corporate vehicle hire term options
Every business has different transport requirements, which is why we offer flexible hire terms that can fit your company. Whether you need a car for a day or a fleet of vans for a few months, we can tailor a hire package around your schedule and budget. Our short, mid, and long-term hires allow you to scale your fleet up or down as your needs change.Â
Short-term hire
Perfect for one-off projects, client meetings, or just some temporary transport, our short-term car, van, and MPV hire gives you access to vehicles for just a few days or weeks. You can keep your business moving without committing to a long-term contract - ideal for emergencies or short notice!Â
Mid-term hire
If you need a vehicle for longer than a few weeks but don’t want to commit to an expensive vehicle lease, talk to us about mid-term hire. Popular amongst those operating seasonally or rapidly expanding their business, our mid-term hires allow extended use without a lengthy commitment.Â
Long-term hireÂ
For businesses requiring reliable hire vehicles for a few months or longer, talk to us about how we can accommodate long-term hire. Our tailored contracts ensure you get the best value for money and reliable vehicles you can count on. Â
