For small businesses like caterers, florists, meat and seafood suppliers, or food distributors, having access to a reliable refrigerated vehicle can make all the difference, especially during busy seasons or special events. However, buying or committing to long-term hire can be a big investment for a small business. Cue Scully RSV – your go-to team for fast, flexible and cost-effective short-term vehicle hire!
Whether you’re running a food truck for a festival, delivering delicate floral arrangements, or supplying fresh produce across Australia, Scully RSV makes it easier for you to keep your products and produce cool on the move.
In this blog, we’ll break down the key benefits of our short-term vehicle hire and how it all works.
First of All: What is Short-Term Vehicle Hire?
Short-term vehicle hire refers to renting a car or truck for a limited time, ranging from a few hours to several months, depending on your needs. At Scully RSV, it’s a popular solution for handling seasonal demand or temporary business needs while steering clear of any large upfront hire or purchase costs. Many customers also use short-term hire to try out the latest vehicle features before committing to long-term leases or purchases.
This option is ideal for businesses like:
- Catering companies handling events
- Food distributors during busy periods
- Retailers preparing for promotions
Benefits of Short-Term Refrigerated Vehicle Hire
Scully RSV’s short-term hire service has multiple advantages, particularly for small businesses that require quick and easy cooling solutions. Below are three key benefits:
1. Not just a truck—it’s a mobile cool room!
Our refrigerated vehicles aren’t just ultra reliable modes of transport, they’re highly efficient mobile cool rooms, allowing you to store perishable goods while on the move. Built right here in Australia with intelligent temperature control systems and industry-leading safety features, you’ll be able to get the job done with confidence.
For example, caterers travelling between events can relax knowing their food is fresh from the prep station to the final destination. Did someone say 5-star review? Your customers certainly will!
2. What you need, when you need it
Scully RSV’s short-term hire contracts give you the freedom to benefit from top-performing refrigerated trucks only when you need it. Whether it’s hours, days or weeks, this flexibility is perfect for small businesses with fluctuating demands, such as florists or food distributors whose needs change during peak seasons or pop-up events.
3. Cost-Friendly for Growing Businesses
Purchasing a refrigerated vehicle can be a significant logistical and financial burden, especially for small, growing businesses. Hiring a truck short-term helps you manage and improve cash flow by avoiding the hefty upfront costs of buying, maintaining, and insuring a vehicle.
Although, Scully RSV do offer a fantastic long-term hire service and new and old fleet sales if this ends up being the more cost-friendly option. Not to brag…but we’re number one for a reason!
