NORTHGATE has entered into an agreement with easyCar.com to provide commercial vehicles through the new easyVan.com website.

The partnership follows the launch of the van rental service by entrepreneur and easyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou. A total of 12,000 van rentals could be achieved this year.

Phil Moorhouse, Northgate managing director – UK rental, said: ‘Northgate is very excited about this venture. easyVan.com expands our routes to market allowing us to reach the consumer without detracting from our main commercial offering.’
