The Action Counters Terrorism (ACT) campaign has launched a new app to provide live-time information from Counter Terrorism Policing, plus the very latest protective security advice, all available 24/7.

The BVRLA has been shortlisted for a national Counter Terrorism Award for its work increasing awareness across the vehicle rental sector and helping to mitigate the risk of vehicles being used as weapons.

The BVRLA is urging companies to review their fleet policies now as a continued shortage of reliable data threatens to disrupt the move to a new VED and Company Car Tax regime in April.

The BVRLA has developed a bespoke Counter-Terrorism Awareness training resource tailored specifically for those operating in the daily rental of cars and vans.

The BVRLA has written on behalf of the rental sector to the Chief Coroner of the London Bridge and Borough Market inquest, following the terrorist attack where rental vehicles were used as weapons.

The BVRLA will this week be writing directly to the primary contacts at all CV and Rental member organisations to confirm that their named security contact details will be provided to the Department for Transport.

As the year draws to a close, BVRLA Chief Gerry Keaney shares his views on what has been another year of growth for the association.

The Government has signed an agreement with the BVRLA, the UK trade body for the vehicle rental and leasing sector, to act as an approved partner to monitor and assess compliance against its Rental Vehicle Security Scheme.

The Government has enlisted the BVRLA to act as an approved partner to monitor and assess compliance against its Rental Vehicle Security Scheme. This will see all 455 Rental and Commercial Vehicle member organisations automatically signed-up to the scheme as part of BVRLA membership.

Members are being reminded not to miss out on the free, hour-long webinar on risk management taking place on Thursday 12 September at 11am.

The Department for Transport has issued some best practice guidance to help mitigate the threat of commercial vehicles being used as a weapon.

The BVRLA’s Chief Executive Gerry Keaney recently wrote to rental and commercial vehicle members who are yet to sign up to the RVSS (the Department for Transport’s Rental Vehicle Security Scheme), to emphasise the importance of taking part in this important counter terrorism initiative.
