Business Description
We are delighted to offer for sale this respected vehicle hire and car sales business.

The company can trace its origins back some 25 years, and the business has been developed significantly over the past 5 years in the hands of the current vendor. It is being sold at this point as he wishes to pursue alternative business interests in London.

The company brand is extremely strong locally.

The vehicle fleet fluctuates but currently comprises 10 vans as follows, included within the sale price:
• 55 Plate Transit SWB Van
• 55 Plate Transit LWB Van
• 3 x 57 Plate Iveco Daily MWB Van
• 2 x 55 Plate Iveco LWB van
• 55 Plate Mercedes Sprinter Luton Box Van with Tail Lift
• 55 Plate Iveco Daily Luton Box Van with Tail Lift
• 54 Plate Iveco Daily Luton Box Van with Tail Lift

In addition, the following cars are on the fleet:
• 09 Plate Fiat Panda 1.2 5 Door
• 07 Fiat Multiplu 6 Seater
• 07 Plate Citroen C2 3 Door
• 06 Citroen Piccaso 5 Door
• 06 Plate Skoda Octavia 5 Door
• 06 Kia Seconda 7 seater


Most vehicle rentals are undertaken by locals, but with additional trade from tourists during the summer.

There is very limited independent competition locally and the larger national rental fleets tend to occupy a different sector of the market.

The business is currently run by a manager, assisted by a full time staff member along with a part time book keeper.

There is an excellent web site included within the consideration price.

In addition to the core vehicle rental business, car and van sales are undertaken providing an additional income stream for the business.

There is a fully equipped vehicle workshop, allowing vehicle maintenance.
