Pendragon Contracts, the contract hire division of motor group Pendragon, is extending its rental vehicle supply partnership with Europcar for a further 12 months following an uplift in demand for daily rental and flexible hire.

Pendragon Contracts has seen a 70% increase in daily and flexible hire business during the past year.

The partnership enables the contract hire provider to increase the number of ‘rental days’ by 35,000, effectively addressing the daily and flexible hire needs of corporate clients and Pendragon’s in-group dealer network.

Neal Francis, managing director at Pendragon Contracts, said: “The increase in daily hire business reflects the fluid nature of the market and reinforces the opportunity for greater flexibility in our approach."
