UK car hire firm in fleet expansion
Posted on: March 19th, 2008 by Hannah WestfieldThe Wigan-based Burnt Tree which is an independently owned car hire company has announced plans for the expansion of its fleet.
Burnt Tree plans to increase its fleet by several hundred new passenger vehicles and vans as well. To fulfil the expansion ambitions the car rental company has partnered with Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles who will provide approximately two thousand three hundred and seventy new motor vehicles. This will cost Burnt Tree more than sixty five million pounds.
Burnt Tree also plans to utilise close to a hundred and thirty million pounds in expansion over the next couple of years. Since the car hire firm relocated to new premises with expanded facilities in Wigan business has been booming and this has enabled the company to finance the fleet expansion.
Once the expansion plans come to fruition Burnt Tree will be able to offer clients a wider selection of vehicles for hire. The total number of vehicles under its wings will rise to eight thousand. Some of the brands that have proved popular with clients include the Vectra, Astra and Corsa passenger cars besides the Vivaro and Combo vans.
As a car rental firm Burnt Tree’s competitive advantage comes from offering personalised customer care which it is able to do because of its humble size.
Besides getting quotes from Burnt Tree’s website as well making bookings, one can also make car rental reservations through several of the many internet-based travel agencies. Such travel agencies include opodo, expedia, ebookers and travelbag.
Burnt Tree’s vehicles are available for personal, commercial and private use.
