How a Bedworth vehicle hire company went from cash-led trading to a card setup that fits, with NEOM handling the comparison and the setup from day one.
Utility Vehicle Solutions is a Bedworth vehicle hire company providing specialist and utility vehicles to businesses and individuals. It serves customers needing flexible, dependable vehicle hire for a range of jobs. Starting to take card, having a straightforward setup and clear records of payments is important from the off.
Hire businesses take deposits and balances rather than simple one-off sales, so how payments are held, released and settled matters as much as the headline rate.
As a business new to card, it needed a simple, reliable way to start accepting payments, along with clear reporting to keep track of them. Without card acceptance, a hire business is reliant on slower payment methods that complicate its cash flow. Getting set up cleanly, without a fixed tie-in, was the priority.
What mattered most. A simple way to accept cards and user-friendly reporting, backed by local support that is easy to reach around the clock.
NEOM set them up on Shift4 with reliable card payments and user-friendly reporting, giving the business a dependable way to take payment and keep clear records from the start. That removes the friction of relying on slower methods. They also benefit from local 24/7 support whenever they need it, with someone close by to call.
Because this was a first setup, the priority was getting it right from day one: the right machine, the right pricing, and support that is easy to reach.
First provider chosen properly, the right machine for a vehicle hire, and support that is easy to reach.
