vehicle hire

Temporary automobile lease

Vehicle hire is the British term for what Americans call car rental—the temporary use of a car, van, or other vehicle in exchange for payment.

The phrase covers the service, the transaction, and the industry: Vehicle hire is expensive at airports.

Hire emphasizes the act of engaging something for use, while rental emphasizes the payment arrangement.
