Why so many customers choose Intack for vehicle hire
When you’re hiring a vehicle, whether it’s for a day on daily hire, a few weeks on flexi hire, or something even longer, value for money matters just as much as reliability and service. You want to know exactly what you’re paying for, feel confident behind the wheel, and deal with people who know what they’re doing. That’s why, despite the fact that we only operate from a single depot in Blackburn, customers travel from all over the North to hire from us at Intack Self Drive.
With decades of experience, a huge and varied fleet, and a customer-focused approach, we have built a reputation for doing things properly. It isn’t about flashy promises or complicated contracts to us; we're all about straightforward hire systems, fair pricing, and a team that makes the whole process easy from start to finish!
So, if you’ve just stumbled across us and you’re looking to hire a car, van or minibus, allow us to introduce ourselves and share just a few of the reasons our customers come back time and time again.
Over 50 years of experience
We’ve been in the vehicle hire business since 1973. What started with just a handful of vehicles has grown into one of the largest privately owned self-drive hire fleets in Lancashire, with more than 500 cars, vans and minibuses available - and we're very proud of that!
Our experience matters. It means we know how to maintain vehicles properly, how to price hire fairly, and how to help you choose the right option without overcomplicating things. Between us, our team brings well over 150 years of combined industry experience, so whether this is your first hire or you’re booking regularly, you’re dealing with experts who'll help you find exactly what you're looking for.
We’ve also been proud members of the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, or BVRLA, for over 30 years, consistently meeting high industry standards, something many customers find reassuring when choosing who to hire from. Our team knows the industry inside out. We won't rush you, we don’t overcomplicate things, and we don’t cut corners.
Straightforward pricing that delivers real value for money
Value for money has always been at the core of how we work. When you hire a vehicle, you shouldn’t be left guessing what’s included, what isn’t, or whether the price will change once you arrive. It should be clear, fair and properly priced from the outset - no surprises.
We take the time to prepare our vehicles, explain your options clearly, and make sure you understand exactly what you’re getting. That approach comes from decades of experience in the industry and a genuine respect for the people who choose to hire from us. We don’t believe in hiding behind small print.
Our hire rates are designed to offer genuine value and typically include:
- road tax
- servicing and maintenance
- manufacturer warranty
- 24-hour breakdown cover
All included in the price you’re quoted.
There are no hidden extras quietly added on later. And when it comes to insurance, you’re not forced into a one-size-fits-all option. If you have fully comprehensive cover that applies to hire vehicles, you can use your own insurance and benefit from a reduced rate. If you’d rather lower your excess, our Loss Damage Waiver gives you added peace of mind. Either way, the choice is yours.
A huge range of vehicles, all ready when you need them
We offer a wide and varied fleet to suit almost any requirement. From small cars and electric vehicles to vans, minibuses and specialist vehicles, we make it easy to hire the right vehicle without paying for more than you need.
You can hire with us daily, weekly or monthly, and for customers who need something longer-term without being locked into a rigid agreement, our Flexi Hire option is a popular choice. With a minimum hire period of 28 days and the freedom to return the vehicle when it no longer suits you, it’s a practical, cost-effective alternative to leasing or contract hire.
One depot serving customers across the North
We’re based in Blackburn, and we’re proud of it. But our customers don’t just come from around the corner. People regularly travel to us from across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Yorkshire and beyond because they know the service and value they’ll get here is worth the journey.
Our depot is easy to reach, close to transport links, and offers free parking while you hire. It proves that great service doesn’t depend on having dozens of branches; it depends on doing things properly and consistently.
A friendly, knowledgeable team every time
When you hire from us, you deal with real people. No call centres, no being passed from department to department. Just a friendly, experienced team who are happy to help, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident before you drive away.
We’re family-run, open seven days a week, and always focused on making the hire process as smooth as possible. From flexible collections and returns to simple documentation and clear guidance, we take the stress out of hiring so you can focus on what you need the vehicle for.
Choosing who to hire a vehicle from is about trust, value and peace of mind. That’s why so many customers choose us not just once, but again and again.
If you’re looking for car, van, or minibus hire with honest pricing, flexible options and a team that genuinely cares, give us a call on 01254 57811. We’ll be happy to help you find the right vehicle and get you on the road with confidence.
