In partnership with the insurance and motor industries, Helphire provides mobility solutions to
not-at-fault motorists, ensuring that they remain mobile until their own vehicles are repaired, or until they are put in a position to obtain a replacement.
We employ over 1,200 people across our sites in Bath (head office), Peterlee, Northwich and Epsom, and operate through a national branch network of 25 depots. Our fleet of over 7,000 vehicles - which ranges from domestic models to prestige marques and commercial vans - provides the scale, diversity and reach to ensure that the right vehicle is delivered to the customer with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss.
