Car & Van Rental Form
car rental
Car rental allows motorists access to vehicles (whether cars, vans or anything in between) without the need to own the vehicle in question, which makes it an ideal service for both personal or professional use. Whether you need a vehicle for a month, 6 or 12 months or longer, rental is a great way to get what you need without tying yourself into a long term lease or actually having to buy the transport in question.
Typical uses for car rental include:
Temporary vehicle replacement
Travel and holidays
Business trips and commuting
Short-term lifestyle changes
Trialling a vehicle before purchase
At Autohorn we have a wide range of vehicles available on flexible and fair car rental terms, offering you a convenient, practical and cost-effective transport solution.
Electric car rental-the way to drive
Electric car rental is rapidly becoming one of the most popular ways to drive in the UK, and it’s easy to see why, with many of us wanting to take action on fuel costs and climate change. Hiring an electric vehicle allows you to avoid the commitment of long-term ownership whilst experiencing all of the benefits that electric vehicles have to offer.
Some key of hiring an electric car include:
Reduced running costs
Electric vehicles tend to be cheaper to run than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are, and this is especially the case when it comes to either frequent driving or urban environments.
Reduced emissions
In this day and age it’s important to be conscious of emissions, of which there are essentially none with electric vehicles-perfect for motorists or business that are looking to lower their carbon footprint.
A smoother, quieter driving experience
Electric vehicles have smooth and powerful acceleration thanks to the instant torque they have, and the noise level from the engine is minimal-which lends itself to a more relaxing drive for all involved.
Ideal for city driving
Many UK cities offer incentives for electric vehicles, including congestion charge exemptions and access to low-emission zones.
Whether you’re exploring EVs for the first time or need a temporary low-emission vehicle, electric car rental offers a flexible and future-focused solution.
car rental for any time period
Whether you need a car for a month, 6 months or 12 months, we’ve got you covered at Autohorn. Our short and medium term rental services are ideal for a variety of customer needs.
A 6 month rental is for temporary situations such as:
-
Fixed-term work contracts
-
Waiting for a new vehicle to arrive
-
Seasonal business demand
It offers flexibility without the long-term commitment of a lease. 12 Month Vehicle Hire on the other hand provides a longer-term solution, while still maintaining flexibility – giving more options to adapt vehicle usage as your needs change. If you need vehicle access for a certain time period but don’t want to commit to owning a vehicle, short to medium term car hire could be for you. If you take out a hire agreement with us and find that your needs change, simply get in touch with us and we’ll do our best to help.
