Florists wanting to lease vans for short terms will be interested in a new online firm aiming to provide cost effective vehicle solutions to businesses requiring flexible transport arrangements.
FLEXXiVan - which launches its new website at www.flexxiVan.co.uk this month - is offering three to 24 month contracts, enabling businesses to have complete flexibility when deciding rental terms. The website showcases a wide range of commercial vehicles from top of the range brands such as Ford, Citroen and Volkswagen. The service also offers opportunities to rent some vehicles from one to 28 days – ideal for florists preparing for busy delivery periods.
The website is designed to provide a single point of call for all van user needs, from breakdown cover and flexible mileage arrangements to insurance and tax renewal. The “one stop” service aims to ease the financial strain of buying and running a vehicle. Research has shown that van operators are reluctant to buy new models or commit to long term leases.This means business vehicles are becoming older and more costly to keep on the road. Industry statistics suggest that last year a record 50% of initial MOTs failed for class-seven vans.
Managing director of FLEXXiVan, a division of the Giraffe Automotive Services, Mel Goodliffe said: “After the success of FLEXXiLease over the last seven years, we became aware that there was significant demand for a flexible commercial van hire service, especially for small businesses and sole traders who may not want to risk an expensive long term lease or van purchase.
“Historically, van leasing contracts have required a four to five year commitment with potential heavy penalties for early termination, but we’ve deliberately made FLEXXiVan different, providing a cost effective approach, shorter leases, lower costs and a lot more freedom.
“Our top priority is to keep van drivers on the road for less, through offering an excellent range of commercial vehicles at unbeatable prices.”
The launch of FLEXXiVan is the latest service from the FLEXXiLease group, which has provided short term vehicle leasing to over 15,000 drivers since 2004.
