What is a mid-term hire?

24 / 04 / 26  |  Fleet

Mid-term hire (also known as Stopgap rentals) gives companies access to the vehicles they need, without the commitment and costs associated with vehicle ownership or contract hire.

It allows you to expand your fleet quickly and spread the cost over an agreed period at a fixed rate, whilst reducing the admin side of in-life services such as maintenance and repairs.

Generally speaking, mid-term hire is a good option for businesses needing access to a vehicle for between 28+ days as the daily rate is lower than short-term hires.
