Who Is Motus Rentals?

Motus Rentals is a fast-growing UK car and van hire brand with established branches in Milton Keynes and Northampton, airport hubs at Heathrow, Luton and Birmingham, and — as of 2025 — our first international office operating in Dubai.

The Structural Advantage Nobody Else Offers

Here is what most vehicle hire franchise pitches don't tell you: the single biggest determinant of whether a hire business is profitable is not how many vehicles you have or how hard you work. It is what you pay for your fleet.

Fleet costs — purchase price, lease rates, manufacturer terms — make or break the unit economics of a hire operation. Independent operators typically spend five to ten years building the supplier relationships that bring those costs down to a competitive level.

Motus franchisees access those relationships from vehicle one. Our direct manufacturer and fleet leasing network delivers pricing that is typically 12 to 22 per cent below standard market rates. In a sector where your margin lives on the spread between fleet cost and hire rate, that advantage is not a small edge. It is the whole game.

Two Models. One Brand. You Decide.

Model One — Branch Operation

A traditional vehicle hire branch in your exclusive territory. Physical presence, walk-in customers, corporate account development, and the full Motus brand behind you. Ideal for operators who want a visible local business and are comfortable with premises costs.

Model Two — Virtual / Home-Based Operation

Fully home-based. No premises. No front desk. No overheads beyond your fleet. Enquiries generated centrally and directed to you. You process, deliver and collect. Ideal for career-changers, those re-entering business ownership, or anyone who wants to build a lean, scalable operation from the ground up without a commercial lease.

Both models carry identical franchise terms, identical fleet pricing access, and identical central support. The only difference is where you work from.

The Market You Are Entering

The UK car rental and leasing sector is worth over £23 billion and growing at 8.5 % annually. Demand for flexible vehicle hire — from SMEs, tradespeople, corporate travellers, and individuals — is accelerating, not slowing.

The reason is structural. Businesses that once purchased company vehicles on finance are now hiring instead. Rising insurance premiums, fuel costs, and economic uncertainty make ownership expensive and inflexible. Hire is the answer — and the operators who capture that demand are the ones with the lowest fleet costs and the strongest local reputation.

That is precisely what the Motus franchise is built to deliver.

Why Now Matters

Motus has just opened its first international office in Dubai — a significant milestone that signals the scale and direction of this brand.

Founding UK franchisees who join during this phase of growth get in at the lowest entry price this franchise will ever carry. As the network expands — domestically and internationally — the value of each territory increases, and the entry price rises to reflect it.

The operators who look back on 2025 as the year they made their best decision are the ones who acted while the founding window was open.

We have a limited number of UK territories available at founding franchisee pricing. When they are gone, this pricing round closes.

Who We Are Looking For

You do not need prior vehicle hire experience. You need to be commercially minded, organised, customer-focused, and genuinely motivated to build something of your own.

We are specifically looking for people who ask the right questions and make decisions. The franchisee who wins a territory is never the one who deliberates longest — it is the one who gets the information, assesses it honestly, and acts.

If that is you, we want to hear from you today.

Investment Level

Founding franchisee entry from under £10,000. Full details — including fleet investment guidance using Motus manufacturer pricing — provided in the prospectus and on your discovery call.

No premises required for the virtual model. Branch model premises costs vary by territory and are separate from the franchise fee.
