Van and car hire business with freehold site in Coventry

About this business

A vehicle hire business in Coventry, trading since 2009 from a freehold site on a retail park that comes with the sale. It rents cars and vans by the day, week or month to local people and small businesses, with plenty of repeat customers among builders and removal firms. Turnover has grown every year, from £496k in 2021 to £840k, and EBITDA from £71k to £136k. A team of 4 runs bookings, valeting and handovers. A buyer gets the freehold, the fleet and a business that has nearly doubled its profit.

  • Freehold site on a retail park
  • Turnover up every year to £840k
  • Repeat trade from builders
  • Team of 4
