Why choose us?

Practical help from quote to collection.

Before you book, our team goes through the key points with you: availability, driver rules, mileage, delivery and any requirements for specialist vehicles.

Free delivery and collection

You can request delivery and collection at a suitable UK mainland address, such as your home, workplace or hotel, or a station, airport or event venue.

We confirm the address, access, timing, ID and driver checks before the booking goes ahead.

Unlimited mileage

Unlimited mileage comes with most rentals, which makes them well suited to long trips, jobs with several stops and travel beyond your immediate area.

Fair-use or pro-rata mileage rules may apply to courier use and truck hire, so please check the mileage terms before you book.

Coverage across the UK mainland

Vehicles can be sourced through a national supplier network for local journeys and longer trips across the UK mainland.

Whether a vehicle is available will depend on its type, the address and the date you need it.

European cover

On eligible hires, we can arrange cover for driving in Europe, provided you declare the journey before you set off.

Extra charges and restrictions may apply, and we do not offer one-way rentals for European trips.

One-way rentals

If the vehicle needs to go back somewhere other than where the hire began, you can ask for a one-way rental.

It applies only to eligible bookings within the UK mainland. We confirm the route, cost and return arrangements with you by phone.

Insurance included

Standard rental insurance comes as part of the hire. We explain the driver requirements, excess, deposit and optional waivers before you book.

The standard vehicle insurance does not cover goods in transit.

Discount for company own insurance

If you are using your company's own approved insurance, ask us whether a lower hire rate is available.

We need to confirm that your own insurance is accepted and that you qualify for the discount before you book.

A wide choice of vehicles

With cars, vans, minibuses and trucks in a variety of sizes, transmissions and layouts, our booking team can find a vehicle that suits your journey.

The exact model, size and transmission depend on what is available locally.

Planning guides

Short Wheelbase (SWB) Vans: A Wales Van Hire Guide

Sizing a van around what you are moving

List the largest items with rough length, width and height, and give an estimate of total weight, because bulk and payload limit a van in different ways. Mention anything awkward, such as a wardrobe that cannot be dismantled or long timber. Describe loading at both ends, including stairs, lift access, distance from the kerb and whether anyone will help lift.

Picking a suitable van

Start with the load, then choose the van. A small van works well for boxes, tools and light collections; medium and long-wheelbase vans suit furniture, stock and trade equipment; and a Luton is the better choice for bulkier items on a house move. Subject to dates, driver details and availability, the range includes the Volkswagen Caddy, Ford Transit SWB, VW Transporter Automatic, Ford Transit MWB and Ford Transit LWB. Make, model, transmission, seats, payload and licence position are all confirmed at quote stage, so treat these vehicles as a guide to the kind of hire on offer rather than a guaranteed reservation of a particular model.

Recording Dimensions of Awkward Loads

Pick the item you are least sure about and measure it first, whether that is a dining table, a fridge or a rolled carpet. Write down the height, width and depth next to each entry on your list, and add the quantity of smaller pieces such as boxes or tools. If something comes apart, record the dimensions in both states, dismantled and assembled, so you have both figures to hand when you ask for a quote. A photo beside each measurement can help you remember what the numbers refer to. Keep the finished list nearby during your enquiry, and mention any items with unusual shapes. If you are weighing up a small van, Transit, Luton, dropside or crew van, the recorded figures give the team something specific to work with.

Preparing Details for a Business Delivery

For business deliveries, the first thing to pin down is the recipient. Note the name, phone number and site address of whoever is receiving the goods, and ask them about access arrangements, opening hours and any paperwork they expect. Next, list the items going out: what each one is and how many, plus the dimensions of anything oversized. If the delivery spans several days, mark the dates in mind, including any that are fixed by a customer deadline. All of this can go into your enquiry when you ask about a van, and it gives the team a clear picture of the job. Where a signature or reference number is needed at the destination, record that too, and keep the details with the delivery notes so nothing is overlooked on the day.

Last checks before booking

Before the hire is confirmed, go over the key points: whether the vehicle is available, the driver requirements, mileage, insurance, the delivery or collection arrangements and any extras you have asked for. Make sure payload, loading height, tail-lift needs, driver details, deposits and insurance excess are confirmed before you settle on a van size. A clear request gives the date, the length of hire, a rough route, the delivery or pickup address, the passengers or load you expect and any special requirements that might affect which vehicle is suitable.

Frequently asked questions

Van Hire questions

What size of van do I need?

Choose the van to suit what you are carrying. Small vans work well for tools and boxes, medium and long wheelbase vans for furniture or trade equipment, and Luton vans are better for bulky house-move items. Confirm height, payload and loading access before you book.

Questions about booking, cover and more

Is insurance included in the rental price?

Yes. The vehicle hire includes standard rental insurance. Before the booking is agreed, the team will explain the excess, the driver requirements and any optional collision damage waiver. Goods carried inside the vehicle are not covered by the standard vehicle insurance.

Do you charge extra for mileage?

Unlimited mileage is included on most rentals, subject to the fair-use policy confirmed before booking. Courier work is excluded, and larger commercial vehicles may carry their own monthly or pro-rata mileage limits, so always check the mileage terms for the vehicle you choose.

Can you deliver the vehicle to a location I request?

Yes. Delivery and collection can usually be arranged across the UK mainland. Before the vehicle is dropped off or picked up, the team will confirm the address, timing, access, identification and driver checks.

Can I use the vehicle in Europe?

For eligible hires, European cover can be arranged if you request it before you travel. This is an optional extra and may come with additional charges and restrictions. Vehicles must not leave the approved area unless the booking team has agreed to it.

Is one-way vehicle hire available?

Many UK mainland bookings can be set up as one-way rentals where the route and type of vehicle permit. One-way hire is not available to offshore islands or into Europe, and the cost and return point must be confirmed before you book.

Can I get zero insurance excess?

No. A zero-excess option is not offered as standard. You may be able to reduce your excess liability with a collision damage waiver, and the booking team will explain which options apply to the vehicle you select.

How can I book?

Every hire is arranged over the phone, so ring the booking team during opening hours and have the vehicle type, hire dates, delivery or collection details, driver information and journey requirements to hand.

What deposit will I need to pay?

A deposit is usually taken when the vehicle is delivered or collected, covering items such as fuel, fines, parking tickets and damage costs. You will be told the exact amount and how the refund works before the hire is agreed.

Should the vehicle be refuelled before it is returned or collected?

Yes. The vehicle should normally come back with the agreed level of fuel. Any shortfall can be charged or taken from the deposit, in line with the hire terms confirmed before you book.

Can I pay for a booking by credit card?

Credit cards may be accepted alongside other business payment methods, such as corporate purchasing cards and BACS transfer, where approved. Certain payment methods may need to pass checks before the booking is confirmed.

What information do I need to book a vehicle?

To book, the team needs your preferred vehicle or size, how long you need it, the delivery or collection date and time, details for the driver and any additional drivers, your contact information, address details and the relevant postcodes. If you are not sure which vehicle would suit, they can help you narrow down the choice.

What licence requirements apply?

Every driver must present a valid driving licence. You will usually need to have held it for at least one year, although two years is preferred. Provisional and expired licences are not accepted, and larger minibuses, trucks and specialist vehicles can involve extra entitlement checks.

How up to date are the vehicles?

The fleet is regularly maintained and updated, with the aim of providing modern, reliable vehicles. The exact make, model, age and specification will depend on what is available when you book.

Is a satnav or GPS available to hire?

A satnav may be offered as an optional extra. Mention it to the booking team when you arrange the vehicle so they can confirm whether one is available and what it costs.

Which vehicle sizes am I allowed to drive?

It depends on the vehicle's weight or seating capacity and the categories listed on the back of your driving licence. A standard UK category B entitlement usually covers vehicles of up to 3.5 tonnes and up to 9 seats, though larger minibuses, trucks and specialist vehicles may require additional entitlement.
