The frequency of long-term rentals was increasing between 2010 and 2013, but was then shown to decline in 2014.

Supplementary notes

*50% of the sample companies have 5-25 vehicles in the fleet; 25% of the sample have 26-50 vehicles and 25% of the sample have more than 51 vehicles. While this does not follow the pattern of licence holders in the UK precisely, it does reflect the disproportionate buying power of the larger fleets.
