Electric Car Hire

At Rent Direct, we offer eco-friendly electric cars for hire in the Cambridge area. That means you can experience smooth, silent transportation whilst contributing to a cleaner environment.

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular as hire cars, and our fleet offers a range of options to suit your needs. Whether you’re looking for your daily commute through the city or exploring the country, our EV car rental provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option.

The Growth of Electric Cars

The popularity of electric cars has been steadily growing for years, and in the UK, this is largely due to environmental concerns, government incentives, increasing affordability, and the planned ban on new petrol and diesel cars after 2030.

Now, we can expect the interest to grow every year, and look forward to more car manufacturers introducing our advanced EV models.

Benefits of EV Cars

Electric cars offer many benefits compared to petrol and diesel cars. They’re greener, cheaper to run, and not to mention incredibly convenient. Here are just a few reasons why renting an EV car will benefit you:

• Environmentally friendly – electric vehicles are powered by renewable resources that don’t harm the environment, such as wind and solar, or from the country’s decarbonised energy grid.
• Energy efficiency – when petrol and diesel cars are running, much of the energy used to power them gets wasted. An EV car has fewer moving parts than an internal combustion engine, meaning more energy goes into actually powering the car.
• Better for health – petrol and diesel cars emit a lot of harmful gases and soot, which may be linked to a range of health issues. This is especially important in densely populated areas. EVs give us much less pollution – including noise pollution!
• Better performance – electric vehicles offer superior power, torque, and acceleration, making them more fun to drive than petrol and diesel cars.
• Cheaper running costs – although there are high energy prices, EVs are still cheaper to run than petrol and diesel cars. They’re also cheaper to maintain as fewer moving parts could need fixing or replacing.

Why Hire an Electric Car

EV rental is fast becoming a popular choice for holidaymakers, movers, or those who just need a temporary car. Because of increased demand, there are now more charging points, apps, and models to choose from, making your journey smoother in more ways than one. By hiring an electric vehicle, you can experience a quieter, more responsive drive whilst saving on fuel and city centre fees.

Hire V Lease

Leasing isn’t for everyone, and sometimes it makes more sense to hire a car long-term. It’s cost-effective to drive new EV models for much less than buying or leasing.

When it comes to long-term car hire, you aren’t stuck in long contracts that mean you’re financially committed for years; you’re in an unlimited hire period with rolling contracts and a small upfront deposit.

When you hire, you get full services included as standard, and a courtesy car if your hire car breaks down.
