Keeping you moving... 🏁
Great to see the Practical colours out on track at Pembrey for the BTRDA Clubman’s Rallycross Championship last weekend. Plenty of action, plenty of pace and a great day of rallycross. 🚗💨

If your business hires vehicles regularly, ask your local Practical branch about setting up a business account.

With agreed rates, priority availability and simpler billing, it can make regular vehicle hire much easier to manage.

Speak to your local branch to get started.

Great to see Mushbury Garage Ltd flying the Practical name on the hill climb scene 🏁🚗

Three wins and a second-place finish in the Wiscombe Championship made for a brilliant couple of weekends. 👏

Need a vehicle for longer than a few weeks? 🚗🚐

Once you go beyond 28 days, the hire structure changes. Practical offers flexible hire from 1 to 12 months, giving you a useful middle ground when you need a vehicle for longer but leasing still feels like too much of a commitment.

Speak to your local Practical branch to discuss the options available.

Big move coming up? 📦🚛
A Luton gives you the extra room to handle furniture, boxes and bulky items without trying to squeeze everything into a smaller vehicle.

Speak to your local Practical branch to check availability.
