WHY LONG-TERM HIRE
Long-term doesn’t have to mean locked in.
Whether it’s for work, a project, seasonal demand or simply because you need a vehicle for longer, we’ll help put together an option that works around you.
One monthly invoice
One fixed fee covers the vehicle, servicing, WOF, rego, tyres and roadside. No surprise bills.
Flex up, flex down
Swap vehicles as the project changes. Hand it back at 30 days' notice – no early exit fee.
Guaranteed replacement
If your vehicle is off the road, another one arrives. Uptime is our problem, not yours.
No end-of-lease bill
No balloon payment, no residual, no fair wear-and-tear game. Hand it back and walk away.
Insurance
The longer you need it, the better the rate.
Long-term hire gives you the flexibility to keep a vehicle for months at a time, with rates that reduce for longer terms. Long-term hire isn’t one-size-fits-all. Tell us what you need, how you’ll use it and roughly how long you’ll need it for. Our local team will work with you to put together the right fit.
