Long-term Executive Hire
Ideal for managers on 3-month or 6-month contracts in Scotland. We handle all maintenance and seasonal tyre changes at your office or home. You get a navy blue car that looks professional for any meeting. If the car needs a service, we swap it for an identical one within two hours. No long-term debt or leasing contracts required.
Managing a 3-month contract in Scotland
Most managers arriving in Edinburgh for a short project find that leasing a car is a headache. You usually have to sign for 36 months, which does not work if you are only here until August. At Thistrict, we set up our fleet specifically for these 3-to-6 month windows. We have 47 executive cars in our Edinburgh yard, and they are all navy blue. No logos on the doors and no advertisements on the plate frames. You drive a car that looks like you bought it yourself. Our team of 9 staff ensures the paperwork is ready before you even land.
Maintenance at your office door
We do not expect you to spend your Tuesday morning waiting at a garage in Leith. If the car needs an oil change or the brake pads are getting thin, our mechanics come to you. We handle all routine work at your office car park or your driveway in Morningside. In November, we swap your tyres for winter ones automatically to handle the Scottish weather. This usually takes about 45 minutes, and we do it while you are in your meetings. (By the way, we keep a spare set of keys at our George Street office just in case you find yourself locked out after a late shift).
The two-hour swap rule
If a car develops a fault or needs major work, we do not give you a small hatchback from a budget rental partner. We bring an identical navy blue executive car to your location within 120 minutes. This keeps your schedule on track. Since we started in 2016, we have kept our drivers ready for these specific swaps. We currently manage 83 ongoing accounts for businesses across the Central Belt and Fife, ensuring no manager is ever left without a vehicle that fits their professional standing.
Simple billing without the debt
Traditional car leasing shows up as debt on your company balance sheet. Thistrict works differently. You get one monthly invoice that includes insurance, maintenance, and breakdown cover. It is a service expense, not a long-term loan. Most of our clients, like the 14 consultants we currently serve at the Edinburgh Park business hub, prefer this because it is easier for the accounting team to process. We keep the monthly cost fixed, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives on the 28th of each month.
Choosing your term
You can start with a 3-month agreement and extend it month-by-month if the project grows. We do not charge high exit fees if you need to return the car 12 days early. Honestly, we are not the cheapest option in Edinburgh, but we are the most practical for a manager who cannot afford to waste half a day at a rental desk. We keep our contract to 4 pages so you can read it in under 10 minutes and get on with your work. If you need to add a second driver for a colleague, we can process that within 4 hours of receiving their license scan.
