PRACTICAL Car & Van Rental has renewed its annual leasing contract with Nissan and predicts it will order 400 new vehicles this year.

The contract allows for a slight increase in the number of units from last year and will consist mainly of Micras and Primeras.

The vehicles will be introduced to the Practical fleet through its network of 160 franchised outlets. Practical's leasing programme, which was established five years ago, also has similar agreements with Vauxhall and Volkswagen.
