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.

Details to confirm before a truck or lorry quote

Describe the load by weight, dimensions and packing, whether palletised, loose or crated. Ask the recipient whether unloading will be by forklift, at a loading dock or by hand, and whether their site has height, length or weight limits for delivery vehicles. Provide driver licence details and say whether the hire is for business use, so the team can confirm driver and operator requirements with you before booking.

Picking a suitable truck

Choose the truck according to how the load will be handled. A box or Luton-style body usually suits goods that need protecting, a tail lift helps where there is little loading equipment, and dropsides can work well for materials needing open-side access. Subject to dates, driver details and availability, the range covers the Ford Luton 3.5 Tonne Box with Tail Lift, 3.5 Tonne Tipper Transit Truck, 3.5 Tonne Recovery Truck, 7.5 Tonne Box Truck With Tail Lift and 7.5 Tonne Curtain Side Truck. The quote stage confirms the exact make, model, transmission, seats, payload and licence position, so these vehicles serve as a guide to the type of hire available and not as a guaranteed reservation of a particular model.

Coordinating Arrival With a Recipient

Imagine a delivery where the receiving site only accepts vehicles during a narrow morning window. In that situation, the details you gather in advance shape the whole plan. Ask the recipient for their preferred arrival time, any cut-off after which they cannot take the load, and a direct number for whoever will receive it on the day. Note whether they need advance warning shortly before arrival, and record the name of the person to ask for. Write these details into your booking notes alongside the delivery address so they travel with the job. When you enquire, you can share the agreed window and ask how the hire period aligns with it, leaving any questions about site access to the recipient themselves.

Sharing Site Instructions With the Driver

If you are the one hiring and someone else drives, passing on clear site information keeps the day predictable. Compile a short brief covering the collection and delivery addresses, opening hours at each end, and any instructions the sites have given you, such as which entrance to use or where to report on arrival. Include contact names and numbers for both locations so questions can be answered quickly. Note the load type and any restrictions the sites have mentioned, and flag anything unusual about the route in or the parking situation, as described to you by the site contacts. When you request a quote, you can check which vehicle category matches the load and confirm what the driver will need from you beforehand.

Last checks before booking

Before you confirm the hire, go through the essentials: vehicle availability, driver requirements, mileage, insurance, delivery or collection arrangements and any extras you have asked for. With truck hire, the booking team should check the driver category, operator position, mileage terms, insurance, payload, body type and where the vehicle can be delivered or collected safely. It helps if your request includes the date, hire length, approximate route, delivery or pickup address, expected passengers or load, and any special requirements that might affect the suitability of the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

Truck Hire questions

Do I need an operator licence to hire a truck?

Business use of some commercial vehicles can require an operator licence. You may not need one for personal use, but the intended use, vehicle weight, driver details and operating arrangements must all be confirmed before booking.

Is mileage unlimited on truck hire?

A separate fair-use mileage policy can apply to truck hire, commonly on a monthly or pro-rata basis. Check the route and mileage before you book, particularly for commercial or long-distance work.

What truck sizes can I ask for?

The usual categories include 3.5 tonne, 7.5 tonne, 18 tonne, 26 tonne and 44 tonne vehicles. What you can hire depends on availability, licence checks, operator licence requirements and the load being carried.

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.
