Leasing for businesses around Devonshire Road corridor in Longbridge
Under Birmingham City Council, commercial vehicles in Longbridge run between Devonshire Road corridor, customer sites and the A38 Bristol Road corridor. Leasing here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. B31 is home turf, and it gets treated that way. Motorway access for Longbridge is via M42 J1, which sets the realistic ETA. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B31 job. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Longbridge and not just the town.

Leasing and rental vehicles spend their working life moving between customers, depots and inspection points, and every gap in that movement is a vehicle earning nothing. We help leasing and rental businesses across Birmingham and the Black Country keep vehicles flowing, from end-of-contract collections to reallocations between sites.
How the service works for you
Fleet and branch transfers
For rental firms balancing stock across branches, we can transport vehicles between locations so availability matches demand without vehicles sitting idle in the wrong place.
- Collections direct from customer addresses
- Delivery to depots, inspection centres or new customers
- Support for scheduled, recurring movements
- Condition awareness during loading and transport
Working to your schedule
We know these moves are often planned around contract dates rather than convenience, so we try to be flexible with timing to fit your renewal and return schedules.
End-of-contract collections
When a lease ends, we can collect the vehicle from the customer directly and deliver it to your inspection centre or depot, saving you organising a driver.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Devonshire Road corridor, the parking around Austin Park, and the residential grid of converted factory units where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Recovery from converted factory units at night is planned for the quietest access, not the shortest. Neighbouring cover runs to Bartley Green, Kings Norton, Northfield, all on the same rota. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one. We photograph condition on collection so there is no argument later about a kerbed wheel.

Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Longbridge Technology Park, a gate code beats a phone call. Units around Longbridge Technology Park are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch.

Questions from operators in Longbridge
Do you charge extra for weekends in B31?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Longbridge on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Longbridge?
Often, but height is the deciding factor. Tell us the level and the clearance on the way in. Where the deck is too low for a truck we use skates to bring the vehicle out to the entrance.
Can you transport vehicles between branches in Longbridge?
Yes, we move vehicles between depots and branches across Birmingham, the Black Country and beyond.
How quickly can you reach Longbridge?
We are based in Oldbury, about 10 miles away, and come in via M42 J1 then A441. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A441 corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
What if a vehicle needs to travel outside your local area in Longbridge?
We offer UK-wide transport for vehicles that need to travel further than our usual local coverage.
Can you collect from a customer's home address in Longbridge?
Yes, we regularly collect end-of-contract vehicles directly from customers.
Other trade services in Longbridge
If you only read one paragraph about leasing here
In Longbridge the deciding factors are access off A38 Bristol Road and where the vehicle can legally be loaded. Get those clear on the call and leasing is straightforward from B31. Recovery in Birmingham City Council territory means knowing which restrictions bite and when. We confirm the drop address before leaving Longbridge so nothing is decided kerbside. That approach is why Longbridge repeat callers ask for the same driver. Second road option if A441 is blocked: A38 Bristol Road.
