Direct Hire for Insurers, CHOs, and Fleet Operators

PurpleSquare Hire provides direct vehicle hire to insurers, credit hire organisations, and fleet operators nationwide. Whether you need intervention vehicles, policyholder courtesy cars, or fleet replacements, we deliver fast and manage the logistics.

What is direct hire?

Direct hire means the vehicle is supplied directly to your business - insurer, credit hire organisation, or fleet operator - on agreed terms, rather than under a credit hire agreement with the end driver. It is the right model when you want flexibility, bulk pricing, or fast intervention before a credit hire spirals.

Use cases

  • Intervention hire for insurers wanting to manage at-fault and non-fault costs proactively.
  • Overflow fleet for CHOs facing a spike in demand.
  • Replacement vehicles for fleet operators bridging downtime, repairs, or projects.
  • Policyholder courtesy cars on agreed insurer terms.

Fleet range

Standard cars, commercial vehicles, licensed taxis, EVs and hybrids, and prestige vehicles. If you can specify it, we can usually source it. See our commercial, taxi, and EV & hybrid options.

Delivery and logistics

Nationwide coverage with a dedicated logistics manager. Single point of contact, real updates, no chasing.

Partnership model

We work alongside insurance partners under flexible commercial terms - call-off agreements, framework rates, or ad-hoc requests. We sign GTAs where appropriate and adapt to your reporting needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between direct hire and credit hire?

Direct hire is supplied to your business on agreed commercial terms. Credit hire is supplied to a non-fault claimant under a credit hire agreement with charges recovered from the at-fault insurer.
