Kenhire Rental Services : Types of Hire  


Types of Hire  |  Insurance  |  Equipment  |  Miscellaneous


Self drive hire, the service that Kenhire is renowned for, is the most flexible way of providing transport to meet a short-term requirement.

Whether you want a car while yours is in for service or accident repair, a van to deliver some goods or move house with, or a minibus for a family holiday or staff outing, Kenhire has got the widest range of vehicles in the south east of England and will give you a choice of options.


All our rental vehicles are the latest models drawn from the UK's leading manufacturers. Before each hire, all vehicles undergo a 100+ item pre-rental check and are valeted inside and out.

Our rental staff have a wealth of experience in vehicle hire and are keen to help with any related enquiry. We have the back up of a fully equipped workshop and can therefore offer a level of support and flexibility rarely found in the rental industry.

Rental Reminder: We hire vehicles for use on the continent, but you must tell us first so that all the relevent paperwork can be organised.

All Kenhire's commercial vehicles can be rented by the hour or overnight - ideal if you have a load that will only take a short time to deliver.

Evening hire rates are also available on our minibuses as well, so you don't need to pay for a whole day if you're attending an evening function.

Rental Reminder: To qualify for savings from hourly rates you must return within office hours - we are open from 8am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday.

Single day rentals usually run from 8.00am or 5.00pm for 24 hours, but all hires can be extended for an extra 12 hours overnight for the cost of one extra CDW charge (as little as £4.00 + VAT on daily rentals).

Ask about this option when you book.

Rental Reminder: Check the times of your rental when obtaining quotes,

as many hire companies will charge one day and two nights as a full two days.

If you need to leave your hire vehicle at another location, let us know your destination and we will quote for a one way rental. We can arrange to collect both cars and vans from anywhere in the UK (or indeed overseas).

Rental Reminder: For a single trip it is usually cheaper to take the driver with you; the drivers we use are ex-policemen and they will return the vehicle once you have fininshed with it.

All Kenhire's vehicles can be taken abroad. We handle all the paperwork (green cards, bail bonds, VE103 certificates, roadside assistance documents, passenger waybills, etc.) and provide a continental touring pack (first aid kit, warning triangle, bulb kit) for use in emergencies.

Rental Reminder: Drivers must use the tachographs fitted in minibuses when driving overseas.

 
Rental Reminder: Before returning to the UK, check that no illegal immigrants have concealed themselves in your vehicle, as you will be responsible for the fine of £2000 per person.

 
 
Contract Hire Top of Page ^


Full maintenance contract hire is another area in which Kenhire can help. With agreements tailored to your specific needs, we can supply brand new models of your choice or vehicles from our rental fleet - at rates that will surprise you.

Rental Reminder: If you are not sure whether contract hire is right for you, take a vehicle for a trial period and we can turn the agreement to a contract once you have decided.

 
 
Personal Contract Plans Top of Page ^


For private individuals and sole traders wanting a car with all the benefits of contract hire, a Personal Contract Plan is the best option. Popular with employees taking a car allowance instead of a company car, a PCP offers you a low deposit, fixed monthly payments and the option to purchase the car at a pre-set price at the end of the contract.

Selections of new and used car deals are available every day, or alternatively we can price the car of your choice. To provide a competitive quotation we need the following details:

  • The make, model and full specification of your chosen car.
  • New or used car preferred?
  • Estimated annual mileage.
  • Length of hire (usually 2 or 3 years).
  • Is maintenance required?
  • Amount available for deposit.

If you can’t decide which car is best for you, let us have your basic requirements (size, accessories, price, etc.) and we will tell you what we think is the ‘best buy’ for you.

Rental Reminder: PCPs usually include early termination insurance; so if your circumstances change you can be released from the long term commitment (conditions apply).

 
 
BVRLA Top of Page ^


The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association is the trade association for the rental industry, enforcing a strict Code of Conduct to ensure that customers of BVRLA members receive good value and service.

Kenhire have been members of the BVRLA for nearly 30 years and frequently undergo random inspections by both the RAC and Freight Transport Association to ensure that our cars and commercial vehicles are operated in accordance with the Association's Quality Control Scheme.


All inspections carried out have resulted in unqualified passes and the BVRLA have congratulated Kenhire for "complying, in such an exemplary fashion, with the Association's Code of Conduct in respect of the quality of vehicles provided for your customers and your maintenance and inspection systems".

The BVRLA can be contacted on 01494-434747 or info@bvrla.co.uk or visit their website at www.bvrla.co.uk.

Rental Reminder: Wherever you are in the country, if you wish to hire a vehicle, make sure you receive a 'quality assured' service by seeking out a BVRLA member.

 
 
United Rental System Top of Page ^


The United Rental System is an organisation comprising the country's finest independent rental companies, formed over ten years ago to create Britain's best national rental network.

In 1991, Kenhire was chosen as the best rental operator in the local area and was one of the first companies invited to join the United System.
 


The support provided by United benefits our customers in a number of ways, mainly by allowing us to combine with other members to provide a countrywide service to national organisations and larger companies, but also by ensuring our staff training and back-up is the best available.

United can be contacted on 01246-506100 or enquiries@urg.co.uk or visit their website at www.unitedrentalsystem.co.uk.

Rental Reminder: If you have an account with Kenhire and find yourself needing a vehicle elsewhere in the UK, you can have the hire invoiced through us as normal - just call us and we will advise you of the nearest United location.
