Many businesses rely on transport of one sort or another in order to get goods to where they need to be. This may be delivering to customers, or it could be transporting them from one of your factories to another for finishing, for example.

However, many of these same businesses have busy periods and slack periods. For example, if you produce products that are going to be needed at times such as Easter or Christmas, then you may well not be very busy in the middle of July and August. That means that, if you own your own fleet, there can be periods when you have vans or trucks sitting idle at your premises doing absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, those vehicles still cost money. They have to be taxed and insured, whether you are using them or not. They also need servicing. Sometimes there can be situations such as you needing to use a van that has been sitting idle, only to find that for one reason or another the darned thing won’t start!

These are some of the reasons why more and more businesses are coming to rely on Bradford van hire instead of owning a fleet. Obviously, you would need to do the sums, but it is very often the case that if a company has periods when transport vehicles are not in use, they can save money by renting as and when needed.

Many Of Our Customers Fall Into This Category

At T G Commercials Self Drive we have many customers who fall into this category. Yes, we are in Rotherham, but it’s only an hour, or a bit less, down the M1. And we have a very big fleet that has been built up over more than 30 years, so we can provide you with what you need whenever you want it.

Just think of all the advantages. You don’t have to tax and insure a van that is sitting there doing nothing. You don’t have to service it. You don’t even have to buy it in the first place, so you haven’t got a huge amount invested in something that is going to do nothing other than depreciate almost by the day. Or if you don’t pay cash for it, borrow the money – which is even more expensive. You just pay for it when you need it.

It is well worth your while to get your calculator out and take a look at the costs. It may very well be cheaper to use our Bradford van hire service as and when, rather than being faced with endless overheads.
