Long Term Hire

If you need to rent a vehicle long term, then we are here to help. At Rent Direct, we also provide long term vehicle rental to suit your needs. Whether you require a hire car, hire MPV, or hire van on a long term basis, we can supply you with a vehicle for a longer period of time. 

There is a growing trend of people choosing to rent their vehicle on a long term basis. Long term vehicle hire is a great alternative to the huge outlay cost involved in purchasing a car or van upfront. You can choose to hire a Rent Direct vehicle for any agreed period that suits, with very short minimum retention periods available (usually around three months). 

Long term vehicle hire is a particularly useful option if you own a business that needs additional cars or vans for the company fleet. Here at Rent Direct, we offer a Flexifleet scheme that makes it even easier to hire the vehicle you need in a simple and affordable manner. 

Our Flexifleet scheme will allow you to release capital from your current fleet, reduce vehicle maintenance costs, and minimise any capital outlay on the cars or vans required. For specific projects or seasonal work that requires additional vehicles, long term vehicle hire will prove an ideal solution. ​

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will the vehicles have Rent Direct branding on them? 

All of the cars we supply are unbranded, making them perfect for corporate car and van hire. Some of the vehicles in our van fleet are also unbranded. Please speak with us if you would prefer your corporate hire van to be unbranded.

Can you supply electric vehicles? 

We have a comprehensive selection of electric vehicles available. In fact, at present, we only have electric cars available to hire.

Are you able to accommodate last minute vehicle hire requests?

From Kia Ceeds to Ford Transits, we work hard to ensure we always have something available for last minute hires. Whilst we will almost always be able to accommodate next day collections, for on-the-day requests, get in touch with us and a friendly member of our team will do their best to get your rental vehicle needs sorted sharpish.

Do you require a deposit to rent a vehicle?

We require a £200 deposit to secure your hire vehicle. This will be refunded to you in full upon safe return of our vehicle in an undamaged condition and with a full tank of fuel. 

Do you have a minimum rental period?

Here at Rent Direct, we don’t have a minimum retention period to rent a vehicle from us. However, to benefit from our most competitive prices, the longer you hire the vehicle for, the better the price we can offer. To obtain the best long term hire price possible, we recommend hiring the car for at least three months.

Is mileage restricted on long term hires?

Just like our short term hire agreements, you will need to specify the mileage you expect to drive during your long term vehicle rental period. Doing so will mean that we can give you a more accurate and favourable quote for your long term hire agreement.
