Ford has partnered with Hertz in the UK to offer hourly van hire via the FordPass app, Ford’s mobility platform.

The Hertz 24/7 vans are located at superstores across the country including B&Q, Bunnings, Costco and Ikea.

Joerg Ullrich, advanced consumer experience marketing at Ford Motor Company, said: “Purchases made at homeware and garden stores are often large and difficult to transport.

"Arranging Hertz 24/7 van hire by the hour through the FordPass app gives our customers an alternative to traditional delivery services.”

Prices start at £13 per hour.
