The vehicle of today is a wonder of technology; a ton of
metal that can transport you and your family at 70
miles per hour in comfort whilst boasting vast computing power and all manner
of modern conveniences and comforts. Vehicle hire has been around for decades
but in recent years the practice has become more and more popular, with a
plethora of advantages over the old-fashioned (and expensive) practice of
upfront purchasing. One of the major advantages of hiring a vehicle is the vast
choice on offer nowadays. Whatever your particular need or preference, there
will be a vehicle for you with small hatchbacks, city cars, premium saloons and
people carriers on offer. You might love your vans painted red or your city
cars with automatic transmissions; either way, a vehicle hire company can
accommodate your practical and stylistic choices. Here are some of the advantages
of hiring a car over buying one.
Break Downs
Vehicle hire companies have a good reputation at keeping
their fleet of vehicles in a fantastic condition and looking spotless. If you
are unlucky enough to suffer a break down with a hired car, however, all reputable
rental companies provide their own breakdown cover. With a set of instructions
and a telephone number for emergencies, meaning you’ll have your car back on
the road before you know it. If by some freak occurrence your car cannot be
fixed at the side of the road, any reputable rental car company will dispatch
you another vehicle to use as soon as possible.
Delivery
Many companies offer you the additional option of delivering
the car or van straight to your door for maximum convenience. This can be
extremely useful when the reason for your car hire is because your original car
has been damaged and is in the garage. No one likes to take public transport
when they don’t have to!
A Tool For Every
Task
All the different types of car that you see on the road
today, are specifically designed to fulfil a certain role. While your five-door
saloon may be ideal for your small family, if you are spending time in a busy
city with tight twisty roads, a small city car is surely a better option.
Alternatively, if you are helping your son or daughter move out of halls and
into a large shared house after university, your family car is not going to cut
it when it comes to moving all of their accumulated belongings. Thankfully,
vehicle hire companies have a wide range of different vehicles available that
can allow you to find the perfect car for your particular task.
Avoid Wear and Tear On Your Own Vehicle
If you are planning a long trip up the motorway or perhaps
driving all the way to another country, you should consider renting a car
instead. This is often more economical than using your own car as all the wear
and tear that might occur from such a prolonged journey might, in the long run,
cost more. Another factor is that your own vehicle might not have the greatest
fuel economy in the world, while a smaller modern car would do more miles to
the gallon because of its more efficient engine or lighter frame. If you are
going on holiday, this could leave you more spending money!
Maintenance Costs
Every single vehicle owner dreads that annual MOT or
unscheduled trip to the garage. Vehicles are expensive items and there are
hundreds of things that can go wrong with the thousands of parts that make up a
car from the 21st century. Having to fork out a large sum of money for
something that you simply need every day of your life, is a large worry as
finding significant sums of money to keep your vehicle ticking along can prove
problematic for many people. With a rental car, the agency takes care of all
your maintenance issues and can offer another vehicle if there is an issue with
your current car. All you have to worry about is fuel - great news even if
petrol prices do keep going up!
Depreciation Losses
When you spend your hard earned money on buying a car,
thousands of pounds are instantly wiped off its value by simply driving it off
of the car showroom’s forecourt. By hiring a vehicle you can enjoy the full use
of any car that you desire without having to give a thought about having to
sell it on eventually or preserving its value. The second your rental contract
is finished your financial responsibility is over and you can choose another
car!
