YOU You rent Your Herd to customers at competitive local market rates (you set them) and keep the difference. In essence, that s it! Additionally, we provide our support products and marketing clout for a monthly charge that is less than you would get anywhere else. This includes fleet insurance, back-office booking system and vehicle tracking system as well as the main Herdhire website, marketing support, site branding and signage, and operational resources.

10 Vanimals It all started with Jumbo. We wanted our vans to really stand out, in a way that was memorable and, ideally, that would make people smile. Jumbo vans have been around for years but we got to the pun-chline first with Jumbo as our first Vanimal and the rest of the gang quickly followed. The Herd was born! Customers just love the Vanimals! You ll find they soon become a local talking point and customers in your area think of Herd Vanimals first. So as well as being a bit of fun, those Vanimals are even smarter than they look, giving our Herd franchises a crucial competitive advantage in their area.
