LWB Van Hire FAQs

What is the biggest van I can rent?

The largest van in our fleet currently is the 3.5T Luton Box Van.  These are available as a low loader option or with a tail-lift allowing easy loading.

What are LWB vans?

LWB vans are commercial vehicles built onto a longer chassis providing longer internal load areas than standard transit-sized vans.  They are also Hi-Top vans and therefore taller than standard vans providing additional internal cargo space.

Can I drive a LWB van on my licence?

Yes.  You can drive a LWB van on a standard B UK driving licence.

How much does it cost to hire a long wheelbase van?

This will depend on how long you need the vehicle for.  Check out our Quote & Book portal on our website for a competitive price.

What is the difference between LWB and XLWB?

A standard LWB transit is slightly shorter in cargo area.  There is approximately 0.5 m difference in internal load length between the two vehicles. 

Do you offer LWB for commercial use?

Yes. Many companies/businesses rent LWB vans either on short-term or long-term hire.

Can I extend my LWB van hire period if needed?

Absolutely.  Please call our offices if you need to extend your hire period and a member of the Rental Team will arrange this for you.
