    Rental Matters: Sector Leaders Discuss the Reality of Rental

    Up and down the country, rental operators are collectively responsible for an immense volume of car and van rentals every year. In doing so, they ensure that businesses and private users can access the vehicles they need, when they need them. Across the URG and BVRLA networks, hundreds of rental operators spanning the length and breadth of the UK are responsible for the majority of those hires. In this episode, the individuals leading both organisations - Per Voegerl from United Rental Group, and Toby Poston from the BVRLA - give a comprehensive picture of what the sector is facing at the moment, how things are evolving, and what that means for an individual rental operator today. This episode forms part of the Rental Matters miniseries, delivered in partnership with United Rental Group. The topics discussed will also be explored as part of the BVRLA’s Industry Outlook Conference on 4 December 2025: https://www.industryoutlook.co.uk/   Pick up with the teams directly via membership@bvrla.co.uk or enquiries@urg.co.uk
