Short-term Rental revenues can be maximised through technology

Short-term rental revenues have been compromised by pandemic lockdown, but now we can all prepare to make a shift in the other direction. In addition to vehicle rental companies, the opportunity to supply short-term rentals is a potential money-spinner for leasing providers and fleet management specialists.

In recent years, we’ve brought it well and truly into the digital age by building a new and thoroughly modern interface so it delivers the same powerful functionality more intuitively. With Bynx, you can manage the acquisition, movement, allocation and invoicing of your rental fleet and define utilisation and tariff rules. Let’s get short-term rental revenues back on track.

The best of times and worst of times?

For vehicle fleet leasing

Let data help you nurture the customer experience

According to recent reports from Berg Insight, Deloitte and others, these are the best of times and worst of times for fleet leasing.

Markets are changing and there’s uncertainty in the air, particularly with BREXIT looming, the frequency with which the unexpected has become real and the evolution from vehicle ownership to “usership”. Confidence has been shaken and leasing companies, in particular, are having to re-examine business models and open up to new practices outside their comfort zones.

Charles Dickens aptly described the best of times and worst of times in the opening paragraph of The Tale of Two Cities, published in 1859. What he wrote is spookily relevant today:Read More

How do you handle change in a fleet business?

There’s a famous saying: “But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” attributed to one of the founding fathers of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin. He wrote in a letter in 1789 about the Constitution stating that: having been established, it had “an appearance that promised permanency”. His cautionary prediction was, of course, that change is inevitable, which remains true today.

Tips for effective fleet management in extreme weather seasons

Weather extremes affect fleets in many ways – so whether you operate in the currently cold Northern or the hot Southern hemispheres, it’s good to be prepared.

Snow, ice, fog and flood are characteristic of UK and European winters from January to April, and this can make driving difficult and dangerous. The extreme heat of Australasian countries at this time of year can be detrimental to vehicles and cause hazards such as wild fires, which also affect road conditions.
