Product Overview
Loan or Hire cars play an important role in many panel shops today and are often used as a marketing tool designed to attract new customers and maintain existing ones. Whether you operate 5, 10, 20 or more Loan vehicles, the additional cost of providing this value added service to your customers is frequently overlooked or simply accepted as being part of the process. These additional costs are usually buried deep in the seemingly unavoidable administration nightmare that often comes with operating a fleet of Loan/Hire vehicles. In some cases, the administration costs have escalated to a point where operators have been forced to abandon this tried and proven approach to adding value to their service. But no more!
