Boxes, beds or bikes: whatever you need to move, short term van hire is the perfect choice
Whether it’s boxes, beds, or bikes, short-term van hire is the ideal solution for all your moving needs.
If you’re moving to a new home and need to transport all your belongings, taking bikes on holiday or require extra transport for your business, short-term van hire offers a flexible and highly cost-effective solution. With a wide range of practical uses, van hire can be incredibly beneficial, so we’ve highlighted some of the most common reasons people choose these versatile vehicles.
Moving House
When you’re moving house, there are plenty of costs to consider. If you’re watching your budget, it makes sense to hire a van and do your own house removal rather than have the expense of paying a professional removal company. If you can call on family and friends to help out, even better! There are many other occasions when you might need to move some furniture. Maybe you have to clear out a house of old, unwanted pieces or pick up a new wardrobe or bed yourself instead of waiting for delivery.
No matter what you need the vehicle for, short-term van hire can help. Our 3.5T luton vans also feature tail lifts, eliminating the need for heavy lifting and helping to protect your back when loading bulky items into the vehicle. These are spacious and offer the perfect solution for any of your furniture moving requirements.
Renovation and DIY Projects
Short-term van rental is a valuable workhorse for any renovation project. From tools to tiles, plasterboard to carpets, you can collect items from your local DIY store as soon as you need them. Local websites are a great place to find bargain items like radiators and kitchen fittings. Once you spot the perfect item on your local Facebook page, hiring a short-term van to collect it yourself is often the fastest way to bring it home. A van is also the perfect partner for your landscaping and gardening projects, making light work of moving everything from turf and compost to sand, bricks, and paving slabs.
Hire a Short-Term Van for Your Business
Looking to update the transportation options for your business without tying up your cash by buying or leasing a new van? Our range of short-term rental vans offers the cost-effectiveness and flexibility you require. Rather than having a van sitting unused on your forecourt, you are only paying for the period that you actually need it. It could be for just a day, a week or for a longer period, the choice is yours. By choosing to rent a commercial van, you will also gain peace of mind and avoid any worries about costly breakdown repairs and routine maintenance. A modern, clean and well-maintained van is also a great way to portray a professional business image.
Flying the Nest
Are your teenagers flying the nest and heading off to University? They’ll likely be taking a whole hoard of personal belongings with them, plus all of those extra necessities. Many parents will find themselves without a large vehicle to help them during this process. Hiring a short-term van for the often lengthy trip to their new home can make the whole process much smoother than trying to cram everything into a car or making multiple trips.
Leisure and Hobbies
Sometimes, the family car just isn’t big enough to cope with all your equipment. Whether you’re a cyclist, golfer, fisherman or windsurfer, a rental van has plenty of room for all your gear. Just pack up and go! Hire a short-term van for a weekend, a week or even longer. Hiring a larger vehicle is an ideal choice for getting away from it all on a camping adventure or surfing trip. Not only can we offer vans for this, we also have a wide selection of minibuses and MPVs, perfect if you need seating for more than 2 or 3 people, along with space for their equipment.
Community and Group Trips
If you’ve taken on the responsibility for organising a group trip or holiday, transportation is likely to be a key item on your agenda. While some members of your group might be taking their own cars, not everyone will have their own transport. That’s where short-term van hire comes in. Our vans have plenty of room for larger items such as camping gear, sports kit or sound equipment.
