1car1 remains largest independently owned car rental company in Britain

In a highly competitive market like the car hire industry, where a small handful of international giants dominate the field, it is not easy for independent car hire firms to stay profitable. Nevertheless, Norwich-based 1car1 has certainly beat the odds and went on to become the largest independently owned car hire firm in the United Kingdom. Despite its independent status, 1car1 provides most of the same services as the larger international companies, such as unlimited mileage, 24/7 roadside assistance free of charge and a fleet of new vehicles, and generally matches the prices of competitors as well. Most of 1car1’s vehicles are between six months and one years old and all of them undergo thorough inspection and maintenance after they are driven for 10,000 miles.

1car1’s fuel policy is, however, slightly different than that of the larger competitors. All cars are provided with only a minimum amount of petrol and as such, customers can return with an empty tank and not face any extra fees. This car hire firm also offers a range of specials, including weekly rentals starting from £109. These cars can be picked up at either London-Heathrow or London-Gatwick. All bookings can be made online, using the interactive form on 1car1’s website (www.1car1.com ). In addition to passenger vehicles, the firm also offers van rentals, people carriers, as well as contract hires and long-term leasing options. 1car1 operates outlets throughout the UK, including several in London, throughout the South-East, the Midlands, Scotland and Wales. The company also maintains both airport and urban locations in most cities.
