When you run a business that involves delivering goods to customers, you may well have your own fleet, depending upon the size of your business. Of course, this involves a heavy purchase cost, plus the costs of maintenance, and so on, all of which can be pretty expensive.

Furthermore, you need to keep your fleet updated, especially if you have to deliver to London where the mayor has just cheerfully extended the LEZ to the outer boroughs. If you have an older vehicle, you are going to have to pay £12.50 every time you enter the LEZ. Other cities are doing much the same thing, so it appears that it won’t be too long before you can’t drive in many of them without paying money. Of course, all these costs add up.

Something else that affects many companies is that their business is seasonal. So, there may be times when your vans or trucks are sitting in the yard doing nothing at all. All of these things are why many businessmen are taking a long, hard look at transport costs and realising that renting vehicles as and when they are needed could be far more cost-effective.

When you rent your vehicles from us at TG Commercials Self Drive, one big advantage is that you will always have the very latest vehicles to hand. You might need van rental in Doncaster (just up the road from us in Rotherham) or perhaps trailer rental in Nottingham. Whatever you need, we have got it when you need it.

Seasonal Business

So, for instance, if you have a seasonal business, it may very well be cheaper to use us for van rental in Doncaster when you need vans, and then just drop them off to us when you don’t. So, instead of having vans sitting in the yard doing nothing, when you are still paying the insurance and still having to maintain them, you can let us do that instead.

Much the same thing applies to something like trailer rental in Nottingham. Pay for it when you need it, and don’t when you don’t. In addition to that, there is also the cost of updating your fleet as and when necessary.

It is well worthwhile to sit down and do the sums. Furthermore, you may well be able to put a big cash injection into your business by selling off all the vans / trucks / whatever in your fleet as well. Rent the very latest when you need them and don’t pay at those other quiet times of year.
