Liquid Fleet launches SMR and damage recharge rental products
Liquid Fleet has expanded its fleet product range by launching fully maintained rentals, including a damage recharge rental product, in partnership with Fleet Assist’s SMR garage network and supply chain services.
New and existing customers can opt for a car or LCV on a 12 or 24-month rental that is fully inclusive of its first and second service.
SMR and damage recharge rental products
It has been developed to ease customer cashflow by spreading servicing costs across the rental contract and to help companies meet their Duty of Care obligations by ensuring drivers are driving well-maintained company vehicles.
Liquid Fleet customers will gain access to Fleet Assist’s 5,200 garage network which includes franchised and independent dealers plus an additional 585 mobile units. This includes nearly 4,500 garages that are EV ready which can accommodate Liquid Fleet’s growing number of hybrid and EV drivers across its 2,000-strong fleet.
Fleet Assist will also manage the service booking on behalf of Liquid Fleet’s drivers as well as the technical authorisation process with individual garages.
End of rental damage costs
To further support its customers Liquid Fleet is offering them the chance to offset their end of rental damage recharge costs on a monthly basis across the duration of their contract. This avoids having to pay these costs all in one go.
Currently Liquid Fleet has one of the lowest average damage recharge rates of any rental supplier at £388.
Martin Potter (pictured), Liquid Fleet’s commercial director, said of the SMR and damage recharge rental products:
“We are pleased to partner with Fleet Assist, as they have the strongest nationwide garage network in place, the majority of which are EV ready. The launch is in response to customers wanting to streamline their cashflow and not having to worry about drivers servicing their own rental vehicles.
“The same goes with us easing the pain of damage recharges. Our new products aim to give companies extra peace of mind when renting from Liquid Fleet,” he added.
