ERA, the European Rental Association represents over 4,200 rental companies in Europe. Hire Association Europe is an ERA Member Association.

All Hire Association Europe (HAE) members, through their HAE membership, are represented at European level adding a significant benefit from membership and ensuring that changes proposed and pending by the EU can be brought forward for debate by our members. The combined voice of all European Associations can then be brought to bear on the EU to seek to influence change.

The European Rental Association represents its members through 12 separate national associations. Members of Hire Association Europe benefit from HAE's close involvement with the ERA in areas such as promotion, general rental conditions, industry statistics and EU affairs.

Operating in the UK alone involves in-depth knowledge of a complex array of reglations and possible pit-falls. It is therefore understandable that it would be daunting for a Hire Company owner to venture into the European hire market. By visiting europeanrentalassociation.org.uk you will have access to specialist, real-time information in the form of the popular blog from the main Hire Association Europe (HAE) website. You can also follow the HAE on Twitter from this website, and this will give you invaluable information on what's happening in the hire industry.

What are the benefits of membership of the Hire Association Europe and The European Rental Association (ERA)?

A great deal of work is carried out on a local level by national associations such as Hire Association Europe. This is complemented on a European level by the European Rental Association (europeanrentalassociation.org.uk), which provides the national members with all the necessary information in the following areas:

  • promotion of the rental concept
  • EU Affairs
  • statistics on rental market
  • sustainability
  • equipment Theft
  • general rental conditions

Hire Association Europe (HAE) provides a wealth of information. For instance, if you are an existing member, you can login to access all the contact information you need depending on your specific Hire requirement. For instance, you may operate a Carhire, Van Rental or Plant Hire company and want to expand into Europe. You can find out vital information on EU Hire regulations, and you will also need to know the European legislation surrounding jobs and general employment rules.
