Flexi Hire FAQs
What businesses ask before committing to a flexi hire arrangement.
Flexi hire is a rolling vehicle hire arrangement with no fixed end date. You hire the vehicle for a minimum initial period, then continue month to month until you serve your notice to return it. It suits businesses where the length of the vehicle requirement is uncertain or likely to change.
It varies by supplier, but one month is typical. Some suppliers offer shorter minimums for specific vehicle types. Confirm the minimum when you are introduced.
Usually 28 days, though some suppliers vary. This is one of the first practical points to clarify with your supplier once the introduction is made.
Generally yes. The flexibility carries a premium because the supplier cannot plan ahead in the same way. If your requirement is predictable and expected to stay in place, a longer-term route usually produces a better rate.
You serve your notice period — typically 28 days — and return the vehicle at the end of it. There is no penalty beyond the notice term. This is the primary commercial advantage of flexi hire over a fixed-term arrangement.
Yes. Many independent suppliers work with sole traders, provided standard checks are met. UTR number, driving licence, and bank statements are typically what is needed. We review your requirement and introduce you to suppliers with genuine appetite for new and growing businesses.
In some cases, yes — it depends on the supplier's fleet and terms. It is worth raising this requirement when you submit, so we can introduce you to a supplier with relevant flexibility.
