Northgate, Britain’s largest vehicle rental company has developed a new ’sale and rentback’ product to help companies move their fleet to the flexibility of rental at a time of possible economic uncertainty. The key to the product is the flexibility it will offer companies who can choose either to increase or reduce the number of vehicles operated at any time without financial penalty. Depending on the age of the vehicles sold to Northgate Vehicle hire, customers will either rent the same units back at a fixed rate or, if older than 27 months, take immediate delivery of new vehicles.

Since developing NORFLEX as a market-leading vehicle rental brand, Northgate has also extended the services it offers to include:

• Fleet Technique, which manages on behalf of fleet owners the maintenance and administration for more than 15,000 vehicles.
• Van Monster, which operates from six main sites offering retail and trade customers a wide range of quality used vans with some 1,500 vehicles in stock most of which are less than three-years-old.
• easyVan, which is a low cost van rental partnership between Northgate and easyCar providing more than 120 conveniant locations throughout the UK.
