Europcar Adds 50% More Luton Tail Lift Vans - Thanks to Credit Crunch
Car and van rental giant Europcar has increased the number of Luton tail lift vans it has available by 50%. Tail lifts are invaluable when loading and unloading heavy objects and often enable the driver to manage single-handedly and avoid any heavy lifting.
The new vans are the result of a 15% increase in consumer van rental seen by Europcar over the last year. Hiring a van for DIY moves or deliveries and collections is a popular way to save money and Europcar Marketing Director Catriona Lougher is convinced that the credit crunch is responsible for the increased popularity of van hire:
With the slowdown in the economy, homeowners need to watch their pockets. The increase in van rentals certainly seems to indicate a savvy attitude to this slowdown … Renting a van for a few hours is often far more cost-effective than having items delivered and with the popularity of sales on auction sites, it’s a great way to transport a ‘bargain’ home.
Europcar is one of the largest van hire companies in the UK, with a combined fleet of more than 6,000 hire vans across 250 UK locations. Click here to find your nearest rental location and get an online quote.
