This summer van hire guide covers everything from family trips to house moves. Summer is the season for road trips, festivals, camping and moving home. In each case, a van gives you far more room than a car. If you plan to use van hire in Warrington this year, these steps will help.
Summer Van Hire Guide, Start With What You Need
First, think about the trip. Is it a short run around town or a long drive across the country? Next, consider how much gear you need to carry. Answering these questions points you to the right size of van.
Choosing a Van
A short wheelbase low roof van suits quick errands and small loads. For a camping trip or event kit, a long wheelbase high roof van gives more space. Meanwhile, house moves with heavy furniture suit a Luton van with tail lift.
Book Early in Summer
Summer is peak season, so popular vans go quickly. Therefore, call us as soon as you know your dates. Booking ahead also brings an advance discount on selected vans, shown on our van hire special offers page.
Check the Van Together
When you collect, walk round the van with our team. Any existing marks are then noted from the start. Also, get to know the mirrors, lights and controls before you leave. You will need your photocard licence and a DVLA check code from the official GOV.UK view driving licence service.
Drive Safely in the Heat
A van is larger and heavier than a car. So, leave a bigger gap and brake earlier. On long trips, take regular breaks and carry water. In addition, keep the load low and strapped down.
