Northgate Vehicle Hire This page is . We talk about business, news and all things to do with vans. (when it's safe to do so, of course!)

Northgate Vehicle Hire has shaped UK van hire for over 40 years. Long before the global movement to usership over ownership, we committed to the vision of flexible rental as the most efficient way for businesses to acquire vehicles. Our mission is to give businesses the reliable vans they need with minimum fuss. This is backed up by a high-quality maintenance program and 24/7 breakdown cover on all our vehicles, as well as our investment in our own state of the art workshops. Our hire options offer businesses an alternative to the significant upfront costs of outright purchase and the lengthy commitments of contract hire. We provide businesses with the ability to choose a more flexible way to acquire vehicles for their fleet. We now partner with over 8,000 business customers to meet their commercial vehicle needs. And we are proud to be part of a thriving professional community that provides essential services to the nation. With a growing network of 67 branches and a fleet of over 50,000 vehicles in the UK alone, you're never far away from Northgate. When you see a van, why not keep an eye out for our iconic Northgate dial on the bumper?
