PRICE has become a key factor for fleets when choosing their contract hire supplier, a new report suggests.

It comes on the back of a general satisfaction among fleets of their suppliers, the Sewells’ Contract Hire Survey 2007 claims. It adds that its findings show a lack of differentiation among suppliers.

When asked how satisfied they were with their contract hire companies, respondents awarded an average rating of 73.9%.

A total of 17 main players in the contract hire market are featured in detail in the report.
