Nobilas signs new improved rental agreement with Leasedrive Velo

Leasedrive Velo, one of the UK's largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK, has signed a new larger contract with Nobilas UK, the leading accident management provider, to supply rental vehicles in support of accident claims.

Roddy Graham, commercial director, at Leasedrive Velo said: "We are delighted to have extended this important contract, which was originally held by Velo. Nobilas places considerable emphasis on its own integrated technological capabilities and was particularly impressed by our Rental:Manager product, which offers quick and easy online booking. It also found our unique all-inclusive rate structure a refreshing change. Reciprocally, we have extended the relationship by appointing Nobilas to deliver an accident management service to a number of our fleet management clients."

Peter Powell, general manager at Nobilas UK, observed: "We had previously enjoyed a long-term relationship with Velo. The merger of Leasedrive and Velo at the beginning of the year has proven a win-win situation for us. We identified the potential for deVeloping the business relationship further with a new stronger partner while maintaining existing contacts. We now enjoy the benefits of an enhanced vehicle rental service thanks to the improved technology delivered by Drive:Manager, a more comprehensive network of rental vehicles and locations, plus a wider overall vehicle rental product offer."

Leasedrive Velo Rental Management customers have access to over 127,470 vehicles from more than 826 locations in the UK including airports and benefit from a special all-inclusive pricing policy including free unlimited mileage. Deliveries can be arranged with as little as two hours' notice. For rentals of 28 days or more, customers can opt for the Stopgap mid-term vehicle rental solution and, for rentals of 90 days or more, Stopgap Plus. Rental:Manager, the online vehicle rental booking tool, allows customers to complete a simple value-for-money vehicle rental booking process in less than two minutes. Alternatively, customers can book by e-mail or phone via a single reservations number - 0871 271 8855 - covering both local and national vehicle rentals.
