CONTRACT hire company Arma has extended its 'all-inclusive' product offering to include vans.

The company says that van fleets can opt for contract hire that includes fuel and fully comprehensive insurance as part of the monthly rental and claims it is 'the first time this all-inclusive product has been available in the UK.'

Arma's parent company manages vans in the Benelux countries and has seen a big move to the all-inclusive package. Managing director Liam Donnelly believes this will happen with UK fleets.

'In Holland 70% of contract hire is delivered this way, and we believe all companies who run vans can save on administration time and costs,' he said.

'This has seen one in 10 UK clients choose this product, and we calculate they will save up to 10% in costs over the life of the vehicle contract,' he added.

Arma provides a quarterly report via its web-based system including an invoice the entire fleet which can be broken down and tailored to specific demands.
