About Switch
Instilling confidence in effortless transportation
Founded over 50 years ago, Scot Group has been a leader in the car rental industry, offering seamless mobility solutions with a commitment to excellence. Scot Group Limited operates the Thrifty brand in the UK alongside Switch Car Rental.
Delivering on better
Scot Group Ltd remains a family-owned business with a deep commitment to family-oriented values. Under the leadership of Nigel Spokes who assumed a controlling interest in 1999, the company continued to thrive and grow.
Today, led by Roger Hancock as Chairman and Martin Wilson as Chief Executive Officer, this legacy of family ownership has continued alongside a culture of innovation and growth.
This has not only enhanced our market position but also provided increased career opportunities and job security for our employees. As a family business, our people remain at the heart of everything we do.
We are proud to be the largest privately-owned vehicle rental company in the UK, now operating from over 80 locations nationwide.

Charity Donations
One of our core values as a company is kindness, which we express by being a socially responsible employer. We're deeply committed to this principle and strive to make a meaningful impact on thousands of lives through our charitable contributions.
Switch works with a wide range of Manufacturers and, as such, we are unable to display every available vehicle within each category on our website. Our policy is to display the most appropriate vehicle within that particular category at any point in time. The definition of 'Or Similar' is the provision of a vehicle of comparable size, body type and rental value to the vehicle being displayed. Please note, due to the number of Manufacturers we deal with, we may supply a vehicle from an alternative manufacturer.
In the unlikely event that a vehicle from the category booked is unavailable Switch will supply a Free Upgrade. A Free Upgrade is defined as a vehicle which has a greater rental value than the category booked.
