VOLVO will expand its in-house daily rental service across the dealer network this year, just over a year after it was unveiled as a pilot scheme.

Since the scheme began, almost 2,000 bookings have been placed with dealers, resulting in more than 15,000 rental days and combined revenue of £350,000. The programme includes all new Volvos for short or long-term flexible hire, but availability depends on which vehicles are used in each dealership.

Volvo Rental is aimed at companies which need an interim increase in their fleet size and range, while the flexible long-term rental provides a solution for those opting out of a company car scheme awaiting delivery of their own vehicle. It also gives company car drivers the choice of a different car for a special appointment, weekend or holiday.
