Stevenage Van Hire

The first thing we recommend is that you get in touch with the hire company if you have any questions about specific vehicles, but generally speaking, a basic driving licence is good enough to permit drivers to take control of people mover vans. However, if you would like to hire a heavy-duty van, for transporting machinery, equipment or other specialist items, then you may need to have a superior licence, or have spent time doing some training to be able to fully operate the vehicle. We recommend that you check your driving licence to see what it permits you to do, and then consider getting in touch with the hire company if you have any further questions.

Many van hire companies allow one-way journeys, meaning that you can pick up your van in one place and then drop it off in another agreed location. This is certainly an easier option if you plan on driving longer distances, and have no need to return to Stevenage after you have used the van. We encourage you to check with the hire company about the available options relevant to your journey, as there may an increase to the rental fare, the further away you get from the origin point.

While you do not necessarily need extra insurance to hire a van, the cost of hiring a van is usually higher than if you were to hire a car. This includes an increase in the cost of insurance, and is generally due to the higher liability involved with driving a van. We recommend that you contact your credit card company, as they may cover part or all of the insurance costs, according to your plan with them.
