Arrow Self Drive which is based in Linthwaite, Huddersfield is the largest independently owned vehicle rental company in Yorkshire with over 2,000 vehicles on fleet. The founders initially began selling commercial vehicles to local businesses from a small site and a wooden hut on Manchester Road, Huddersfield in 1988. The trend for leasing vehicles was gaining popularity as customers saw the advantage of having an all-inclusive fixed cost monthly package so they put three vans onto hire to see how it went and Arrow Self Drive was born. Thirty years on, James Hill, son of founder Robert, is now the managing director of Arrow Self Drive, leading a team of more than 80 employees across its eight Yorkshire depots.
