Business and fleet decisions

Hiring buggies for an organisation: procurement, insurance, safety files and budgeting.

Hiring for an organisation is a different exercise from hiring for an event. The vehicle question is usually the easy part; the work is procurement, insurance documentation, risk assessments and method statements, and getting those in place before delivery day rather than discovering they are needed on it.

These guides are written for the person who has to justify the spend and satisfy someone else's compliance file. They cover what documents to ask for and when, how to budget a hire that runs across a season, and the practical questions of managing buggies used by a rota of people rather than one owner.

Two operational details cause more trouble than the paperwork. Charging needs a power source near where the buggies stand down, which on a green-field site means planning it into the power distribution rather than assuming a socket. And on a multi-day hire with a rota of drivers, buggies wander: a key policy and a named person responsible per vehicle saves more time than any other single decision.
