Which Hire Option Is Right For You?

You’ve got options when it comes to vehicle hire.

You need to hire a vehicle.

Maybe it’s a van, or a car, or it could even be something like a tipper or dropside.

Whatever it is you’re looking for, however big the job is you’ve got on, nothing else will do – you need to hire a vehicle.

But you should have a look at how you want to hire it.

Because you do have options.

Short Term Hire

Probably the most common type of hire is your spot hire, or Short Term Hire. This is for when you need a vehicle for a day or two, or a week, or even just an afternoon.

For vans, Short Term Hire is bob on for smallish jobs. Think moving house, or big tip runs.

If you’re spending all weekend doing a job, but after that you know you won’t need a van for anything else, then Short Term Hire is the one for you. Just size up what you’ve got to do and start deciding whether you need a Berlingo or a Luton, or something in between.

With cars, Short Term Hire is perfect for a pitstop trip.

Out of town on business, visiting relatives or just in a spot where you desperately need wheels. There’s always circumstances where you need a car for a day or two.

But it can also be more of a “want” than a need. Short Term Hire is perfect for a jolly somewhere, for you and a friend to whisk yourself away somewhere secluded.

Because anyone can book a hotel for a long weekend. But when you drive there in a prestige car, one a lot more luxurious than your regular ride, you’ll both arrive feeling the difference.

Flexi Hire

Westwood’s Flexi Hire is designed to work around you. The clue’s in the name – it’s flexible and is designed to keep you moving.

We call it Flex It 28, because it works on a 28-day-block basis, to keep things in your hands.

You just hire the car or van you want, for as many 28 day periods as you need. The longer you have it for, the cheaper the amount that you’re paying every month.

It’s designed to work for you. Because you set the terms.

But it’s not just about the drive. With Flex It 28, you get a dedicated account manager to look after you, and through them you’ll get additional discounts and special offers.

And in terms of hard cash, you don’t have to worry about any running costs, any termination costs or any service costs. We’ll take care of everything like that. You avoid all depreciation costs too, thanks to the flow of new vehicles that you’ll drive.

Get flexible with our entire range of Flexi Hire cars, vans and more.

Contract Hire

Contract Hire is for when you have your eye on the long term.

Ideal for businesses big and small, with Contract Hire you take out a vehicle (or an entire fleet of them) for between 12 months and 3 years.

This commitment means you get to cut your costs dramatically, which is a boost in the short term and a key part of planning for the future. When you know you have that security, and that affordability every month, it frees you up in a big way.

And there’s a couple of ways you can look at it.

On the van side, Contract Hire means you’re secure in knowing your business needs are going to be met. There’s no worrying about servicing your customers or getting the job done, because half the battle’s won.

On the car side, Contract Hire guarantees you and your employees an ultra-professional image. Turning up at a meeting suited and booted, with each of your team in a new and sleek Contract Hire car, creates the great first impression that you won’t come by any other way.

Discover the long term future for your business’ vehicle needs.
