Apex Car Rental has signed up to use Epyx’s 1link Hire Network, allowing it to reach a wider online audience.

1link Hire Network is a rental platform specialising in the fleet sector. It has been adopted by more than 40 vehicle hire suppliers working with thousands of fleet operators of all sizes across the UK.

“Clearly, more and more car rental business is being carried out online and 1link Hire Network will help us to reach a larger part of that customer base through its only community, as well as process them more efficiently,” said Deana Grondona, Apex director.

Formed in 1988, Apex has a 3,500 vehicle fleet of Peugeot, Volkswagen, Kia, Toyota, Vauxhall, Mini and BMW vehicles, all of which are less than six months old. It has offices in Eastbourne and Weybridge as well offering a nationwide delivery service. 

Alongside a range of standard daily and weekly rental services, Apex offers month-long rolling rental contracts to fleet and private customers on a nationwide basis.

Grondona added: “Our month-long rental proposition is quite specialised but has a well-established market for people working on temporary contracts, are waiting for a new car to be delivered or otherwise want a longer period than daily rental but shorter than contract hire.”
