Request a Vehicle

Flexible hire for contractors whose vehicle requirements change by contract.

General contractors rarely need the same vehicle twice. One contract needs a Luton van; the next needs a pickup and two panel vans. Sub-contractors may need their own hire arrangements. Managing that through a single supplier relationship makes the logistics simpler.

  • Business-focused route into vehicle hire, not consumer rental
  • Connected to flexi, long-term, and contract hire options
  • Direct supplier introduction after enquiry review

Who this is for

General Contractors Vehicle Hire | Unified Vehicle Hire

Contract variation and fleet flexibility

General contracting work means the vehicle requirement changes. A domestic refurbishment programme needs different vehicles to a commercial fit-out or an infrastructure maintenance contract. Some independent hire suppliers are well positioned for contractors with varied and changing requirements; the key is being suited to one who has the fleet range and account flexibility to support that.

Supporting sub-contractor hire across a programme

Where a programme involves multiple sub-contractors each needing their own vehicle, co-ordinating through a single supplier simplifies administration for the principal contractor. This works better with suppliers who are set up for account-managed multi-vehicle hire rather than one-off transactions. We will factor this into the matching process when you tell us the scale of your requirement.

General contractors hire questions

Where a supplier in our network is set up for multi-vehicle account arrangements, we can make an introduction that covers more than one vehicle. We will need details of each sub-contractor's requirements — vehicle type, hire duration, and any specific needs — to assess whether a single supplier can accommodate the full programme. Submit the full requirement in your initial enquiry.
We match you to a supplier based on your current requirement. For ongoing or programme-based work where requirements will change, the best outcome is being introduced to a supplier with a broad fleet and the flexibility to adjust what you are hiring as contracts evolve. If you have a programme view of upcoming requirements, share that context in your enquiry — it helps us find a more durable match.
That is often the best outcome for general contractors with regular hire needs. Once we have made the introduction, you deal directly with the supplier and can develop the relationship on your terms. Suppliers who work with contractors on a repeat basis often offer better availability and flexibility than transactional one-off hire. We aim to make introductions that have the potential to be long-term working arrangements.
