LeasePlan UK has reappointed Northgate Vehicle Hire as its preferred daily rentalsupplier for light commercial vehicles (LCV).

The company wants to expand its LCV business and sees flexible vehicle rental as the best way forward.

For the past 20 months, Northgate Vehicle Hire has provided a range of LCV solutions to LeasePlan UK customers through FlexiVan, which offers medium-term LCV leasing without any early-termination penalties.

Currently, LeasePlan could have up to 200 LCV vehicles on hire at any one time and this figure is set to rise dramatically.

“The LCV side of our business has been one of the success stories in the company over recent years,” said Sarah Easton, head of product development at LeasePlan.

“This deal means we’re now able to build on that strength.”
The new contract runs until the end of 2009.
