Practical guidance on cars, rentals, vans, trucks, buses, maintenance, fleet operations, road trips, and new mobility technology.
Where an electric van genuinely fits a small business, the payload trade-off nobody mentions at the dealership, why charging is the real decision, and what the UK grant is currently worth.
Age and mileage tell you when to look at a fleet vehicle, not whether to replace it. How published replacement schedules work, the cost curve that actually decides, and the signs a vehicle has turned.
Racking out a work van is a safety decision before it is an organisation one. Who is legally responsible for an insecure load, what racking does and does not solve, and how to lay a van out around the job.
Bridge strikes and weight-limit violations are planning failures, not driving failures. How to establish a real running height, keep it in front of the driver, and build a route that accounts for it.
Purchase price is the smallest number in a fleet vehicle decision. How to build a total cost of ownership figure, which lines actually move it, and why cost per kilometre is the only fair way to compare.
Full-to-full, pre-purchase and same-to-same fuel policies compared: which one usually costs least, where the charges hide, and what to keep as proof that you returned the car full.
Why rental companies put a hold on your card, how big it can be, what it does to your available balance, and why a credit card usually causes fewer problems at the counter than a debit card.
