Hertz is expanding its van rental network in Britain, launching two new van supersites in Glasgow and West Thurrock.

The new locations take the total number of Hertz van supersites in the UK to 20, boosting Hertz’s van rental capacity, creating dozens of new jobs and enabling further development within the division, which last year grew 26%.

Both Hertz’s van supersites boast a wide range of vehicles from small, medium and large vans to tippers and minibuses. Customers renting vehicles from these locations will also have access to a range of benefits; such as dedicated onsite commercial vehicle experts, service and maintenance support, and livery and wrapping services.

Additionally, Hertz 24/7 by the hour, around the clock van rental is available from both supersites, proving businesses with further flexibility and convenience.

“We’re keeping Britain on the move,” said Neil Cunningham, general manager, Hertz UK.

“Our flexible van rental service helps customers focus on growing their businesses efficiently by removing the financial commitment of purchasing a fleet and by saving them the administrative headache of insurance, breakdown cover, maintenance, servicing, and road tax. We’re seeing an increasing number of businesses opting for commercial vehicle rental as an alternative to ownership.”

West Thurrock – just off the M25 to the east of the capital – has a total capacity of 1,300 vans, while the Supersite in Glasgow has space for  more than 1,000 vans.

The range available at Hertz’s van supersites in Glasgow and West Thurrock includes small vans such as the Fiat Fiorino, Fiat Doblo and Volkswagen Caddy, as well as medium vans such as Ford Transit Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro and Volkswagen Transporter.

For larger loads, customers can opt for the Ford Transit LWB and ELWB, Mercedes Sprinter, Fiat Ducato and Vauxhall Movano vans. Box vans such as the Ford Transit Luton, curtain siders, single and crew cab tippers, and drop siders are also available, as are 9 and 17-seat minibuses, and double or single cab 4x4s.
