Northgate launches bolt-on business car solution for van fleets

Northgate is launching a new business rental solution, offering a wide range of passenger vehicles on a seven-day plus hire basis.

Vehicles ranging from small city cars, mid-sized hatchbacks and saloons, through to larger family cars and SUVs are available on seven-day plus hire

Positioned as an additional mobility solution to its van rental fleet customers, Northgate Cars gives access to vehicles ranging from small city cars, mid-sized hatchbacks and saloons, through to larger family cars and SUVs.

Vehicles are available as a bolt-on addition to existing LCV fleets on a flexible rental basis, allowing businesses to manage their needs for passenger vehicles for periods ranging from seven days upwards.

The new solution meets rising customer demand from fleets looking to manage their shorter-term needs for additional vehicle types in an efficient and responsive manner. Examples include when a lead-in vehicle is needed to overcome the delay in a company car’s delivery, or a seasonal peak in demand requires additional pool vehicles.

It’s offered nationally and supported by Northgate’s network of 68 branches. Vehicles will be available to rent under a single Northgate contract and will be supported by a single account manager, easing administrative burdens for fleet managers.

Key account manager Debbie Wallace

Northgate Cars will be overseen nationally by key account manager Debbie Wallace, who joins Northgate with more than 30 years of experience in the rental and business rental sector.

Wallace said: “Fleets of all sizes experience peaks and troughs in demand, and while this is catered for with LCV fleets under our highly flexible van hire contracts, with Northgate Cars, passenger vehicles can now be added when needed.

“Northgate remains committed to providing innovative, efficient and cost-effective mobility solutions for our customers and their drivers, and with a nationally available selection of passenger car rentals now available to business customers, we offer even more options to keep drivers on the roads.”
