Nexus off ers added benefi ts to provide aff ordable vehicle rental solutions this Christmas
CEO of Nexus Vehicle Rental, David Brennan, the UK’s leading tech-driven business mobility provider, discusses the top tips for a fl exible fl eet to limit waste this Christmas. Collecting, transporting, recycling, and disposing of waste requires a wide range of vehicles, which is particularly true in the winter months when as a nation we create even more household waste. UK homes alone accumulate 30 percent more waste in the Christmas season, and inclement weather can increase this tenfold – for example, the 2016 fl oods generated 30,000 tonnes of additional landfi ll waste.
With concerns about the amount of waste being generated during the festive period, the sector is looking towards a more fl exible, effi cient and cost-eff ective way of dealing with the issue. We’re seeing more organisations turn to vehicle rental as an attractive option to help keep costs lean and minimise wasted resources this Christmas. However, awareness of the full scope of options available from small vans to HGVs and municipal vehicles is still pretty low.
Flexible options
As waste management is a deadline- driven industry and quite often changeable depending on the season, it is essential the right distribution channels are in place and are fl exible for customers. Nexus, for example, provides customer access to more than 550,000 vehicles, including 150,000 specialist vehicles and HGVs.

With providers off ering longer term rental for more than 28 days without a lengthy lease contract, the fl exibility this provides is invaluable. Fleet managers can respond to individual requirements and flex fl eets at times when additional support is required, which is essential during the busier winter months.
Technology
Today, rental goes beyond providing just vehicles. It also includes rental management software which can handle

all compliance, such as LOLER and PMI – a key and time-consuming task in the waste management sector. Nexus’ rental booking system IRIS allows customers to book vehicles, extend agreements and review business requirements. Within this, the management information (MI) suite provides real-time data on all areas of rental, including billing data, customer services, fi nes, and damage management. This technology brings new perspectives to vehicle rental, off ering insight and helping to identify trends and areas for improvement. All key mobility data and documentation can be cross-referenced, providing clear and transparent communication between customers and suppliers.
Cost saving
In terms of cost (particularly around the Christmas period), buying and maintaining specialist vehicles to operate a waste management fl eet can be expensive. The use of technology such as IRIS benefi ts businesses in many ways, such as automatically presenting the most cost-eff ective solutions.
