Hire & leasing
Fogging equipment hire for fleets: ambulances, buses, trains and taxis
Fleet managers rarely need convincing that vehicle interiors need decontaminating. What they need is a method that fits a turnaround, not one that takes a vehicle off the road for a day waiting on a contractor.
In short
Vehicle interiors are the perfect fogging case: small volumes, fast cycles, hard-to-wipe surfaces and a turnaround window that already exists. A machine at the depot lets crews treat a vehicle between shifts in minutes, and one 8kg unit handles a long line of vehicles in a night.

Why do vehicles suit fogging better than almost anything else?
Small enclosed volume, huge surface complexity. Seat backs, rails, belt buckles, vents, ceiling panels, floor rails — a wipe-down misses most of it and takes far longer than a fog cycle.
Because volumes are small, cycle times are short, and a machine at the depot can work down a line of vehicles between shifts.
Where does it fit in an existing turnaround?
Exactly where the current clean already sits. Crews or cleaners do the standard interior clean, place the machine, close the doors, hang the sign with the safe entry time and start the next vehicle.
By the time the second vehicle is cleaned, the first is ready to move. It is a leapfrog routine that adds seconds, not shifts.
Which fleets do we work with?
Ambulance and emergency services, bus and coach operators, rail, taxi and private hire fleets, school transport, airport ground transport and haulage cabs. Marine operators run the same routine on cabins and crew spaces.
The common thread is a vehicle that carries the public or carries crew, and an operator who cannot afford it off the road.
Hire or lease for a depot?
Fleets lease, almost without exception, because the need recurs every night. From £450–£550 per month + VAT spread across dozens of vehicle treatments a month, the cost per vehicle is negligible compared with a call-out per incident.
Multi-depot operators typically place one machine per depot so no vehicle ever waits for equipment to be driven across a region.
Frequently asked
- How long does it take to fog a vehicle interior?
- Minutes. Small volumes mean short cycles, with the safe re-entry time set for that vehicle type at survey.
- Will it damage upholstery or vehicle electronics?
- The fog is dry and residue-free, and dosing is matched to the interior volume. Vehicle-specific preparation is covered during training.
- Can crews operate it themselves?
- Yes, once trained. Only staff we have trained and deemed competent may operate the unit, which for fleets usually means a nominated group per depot.
- Do you supply more than one machine?
- Yes. Multi-site and multi-depot operators normally lease one per location so nothing is waiting on equipment in transit.
