EIGHT police forces throughout the UK have signed up to use National Car Rental and another 30 are considering using the company in the future.

This follows a tendering process carried out by Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, who awarded a four-year rental contract to National Car Rental and sent details to police forces across the UK of the costs, benefits, branch location and vehicle availability included in the contract.

As a direct result, Dorset, Hants, Avon, West Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Kent and Thames Valley police forces all signed up to use National.
