Regional Hub

East Midlands Vehicle Hire. The A1/M1 Corridor and a Major Distribution Base.

The East Midlands sits at the centre of the UK's freight and distribution network. The A1/M1 corridor connects Nottingham and Leicester to London; Derby's manufacturing cluster includes Rolls-Royce and Toyota supply chain businesses; and Northampton has become a significant logistics and warehousing hub. These different commercial bases create varied van and commercial vehicle requirements across the region.

  • Local fleet operators, not national chains
  • Van and minibus hire across Derby, Nottingham and Leicester
  • Direct introduction — no broker markup
