There’s a demand for EV courtesy vehicles. It shouldn’t come as a surprise. That’s why we’ve added som of the best EV & Hybrid courtesy vehicles to our offering.

Bodyshops and accident repair centres are now looking at more sustainable and efficient options which makes perfect sense. Switching to EV and hybrid vehicles can benefit your business in more ways than one.

Why More Bodyshops Are Switching to EV Courtesy Vehicles:

Lower Running Costs & Maintenance

Electric and hybrid vehicles have fewer moving parts compared with petrol or diesel engines. This means they generally cost less to maintain. Plus, with no oil changes and fewer wear-and-tear items like clutches or exhaust systems, your courtesy fleet spends less time off the road and more time keeping your customers mobile.

Moreover, lower running costs from charging (especially with off-peak electricity rates) are resulting in EVs becoming the preferred choice for many repair centres.

Meeting Environmental Regulations & ULEZ Compliance

ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) regulations are expanding across more UK cities, and many customers now expect their courtesy car or van to be compliant. Going down the electric or hybrid route means you’re covered. No fines, no restrictions, and no inconvenience for your customers.

It also reflects well on your brand, showing you’re forward-thinking and environmentally conscious, something that’s becoming more important in the accident repair industry.
