If you rely on hire vans to keep your business running smoothly, then every day they are off the road is lost profit. It is not always possible to keep every van on the road all of the time. Maintenance, servicing, repairs and staff absence can all lead to downtime. Read our Go Hire It guide to reduce vehicle downtime with van hire…
Reduce Vehicle Downtime with Van Hire
Some companies are plagued by downtime while others keep their vans on the road continuously. What is it that they are doing right, and what more can you do to keep your vehicles on the road more?
New vans
New vans break down less often and need less maintenance and servicing than second-hand vans with high mileage.
The economic climate has made fleet owners hold onto their vehicles for longer, selling them on when the mileages are high — so the quality of the second-hand stock is reducing.
One way to avoid this is to hire vans rather than buy them. You get high-spec, newer vans and you don’t have to deal with depreciation.
Seasonal or unpredictable needs
One of the biggest problems for business owners is when they need more vehicles at some times of the year or need additional capacity for a short term contract.
If you buy new vans, then they sit idle whenever they are not needed —but your payments still have to be made.
A simple solution is to hire vans – They offer many of the same benefits as contract hire, but you can use the vans only when you really need to, cutting down seasonal downtime.
