Explore how Columbia’s robust, rental-ready vehicles expand customer bases, grow businesses, and enable projects of all sizes in many environments! 

Columbia vehicles are Built For Work, making them the perfect rental vehicles! To take on the rigors of rental use, we offer a range of options and configurations designed specifically for vehicles with heavy use. With their Columbia rentals, customers can be confident they’re getting the top quality, comfort and reliability. And our Columbia partners can maximize their investment with a top-of-the-line rental fleet featuring low-maintenance, easy-to-use electric vehicles built to withstand the demands of constant transport and use.

 

Super Charge Your ROI

Our pure electric vehicles offer robust design and construction and high-efficiency power to minimize overhead costs and maximize return on investment. Frame strength is at the heart of Columbia vehicle design, so our vehicles are built using either high strength tubular, channel, or 10 gauge structural steel. From there, we build our unitized bodies with powder-coated smooth plate steel for corrosion resistance and durability for even tough industrial environments. All Columbia vehicles charge using standard wall outlets, and can share standard heavy duty charging cables.  

In the rental world, the benefits of configurability are huge. Instead of needing a large fleet with many different vehicles, a set of attachments can be affixed as-needed to fit the task at hand - reducing capital expenditures by renting the same vehicle into multiple applications Additionally, fleets utilizing our range of options, such as folding second row seats, folding bed panels, and removable doors on cabs, allow for on-demand versatility to serve a wide customer base. 

Streamlining your fleet with Columbia electric vehicles reduces the maintenance costs over other fuel types, and you’ll enjoy the long-term reliability to maximize uptime and keep your vehicles performing in top condition all day long.

Our dedicated team of Customer Success experts are here to help! We work closely to provide the level of support your fleet needs.

Rev Up Your Rating – Impress your customers with capability, comfort, and style

Your rental fleet should reflect your commitment to creating exceptional customer experiences, and Columbia vehicles can help you get those 5 star ratings! All of our vehicles come standard with a range of features to provide impressive capability, easy handling and style for users in a variety of applications. Many Columbia platforms are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and can be configured with a variety of versatile storage options, flexible seating, and creature comforts such as sun tops, windshields, and more! 

Columbia vehicles are also available with integrated Telematics equipment—the little boxes that tell companies where a vehicle is, how it’s being used, and its remaining power level—which can provide invaluable information to your customers, helping them manage their site operations and maximize the efficiency of their rental products.

Rentals can be used at events, convention centers and fair grounds for event support, on site at development projects to move equipment, personnel and VIPs, and countless other applications! Find out how you can build your rental offerings to serve and grow your customers today!
