Car Hire or Own Vehicle

Another popular question we are often faced with is : "Which is better? Your own car or hiring one?"

Well this is all dependant on how you plan (or how you currently) work.

The majority of car hire is done by the operators themselves, this often has limitations on it I.E. only been able to work for the operator supplying the car, and often you will have the car 24/7 and pay for such.

This obviously is no good if you only want to work weekends, or don't want to work for that particular firm.

On the plus side there is no need to work about repairs or insurance cost so ideal if your a young driver (under 25) or just getting into the industry.


We have come across a few firms that offer car hire most in the region of £160.00 per week.

We have yet to come across someone who can guarantee car hire and provide quality vehicles (Can usually find one or the other but not both). If you know of someone who does offer both then please let us know, so we can pass on this information to those who may need it. In the meantime we recommend getting in touch with the operator of a firm you are planning to work in. They usually know someone who may be able to help you.
