What Licence Do I Need to Hire a Luton Van?

If you want to hire a Luton van, the good news is that your ordinary car licence almost certainly covers it. Many people assume a box van needs a special entitlement. In fact, the weight limit is what counts, not the shape. So, if you are planning van hire in Warrington for a move, here is what you need to know.

What Is a Luton Van

A Luton van has a tall, box-shaped body that often extends over the cab. That design gives a square load space with no wheel arches in the way. As a result, boxes stack neatly and furniture sits flat.

The Licence You Need to Hire a Luton Van

A standard category B licence covers vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes maximum weight. Every Luton on our fleet sits within that limit. Therefore, a full car licence is all you need. The official GOV.UK driving licence categories page confirms the rules.

What to Bring

Bring your photocard licence and a DVLA check code when you collect. Also, make sure your licence is in date. If you have any doubts, call us before you book.

Why Choose a Luton

A Luton offers generous space for house moves and bulky deliveries. Our Luton van with tail lift raises heavy items to the load floor. Alternatively, the Luton low loader van has a lower floor and a ramp. Either way, loading is far easier than in a standard van.

Cost and Flexibility

Hiring a Luton is often cheaper than paying a removal firm. In addition, you choose your own timings. We offer short and long term hire, and most vans need no deposit.
