Top Tips for hiring a van in Sunderland

  • When collecting your Sunderland van hire, we encourage you to keep in mind the peak congestion times in the city centre, which tend to be from 07:30 to 09:30 and from 17:00 to 18:30. Parking during the peak congestion times can also be harder, as the locals may be returning home, and you should also keep in mind that you will need more space or a larger parking bay to park the van.
  • Many customers choose to add some features to their Sunderland van hire vehicle, as it can really help make the journey more comfortable and less stressful. If you are hiring the van in summer, then you may want to add some air conditioning to the vehicle and keep cool as you drive. A GPS system is another popular addition that you can ask the hire company to provide, particularly if you are unfamiliar with Sunderland the surrounding area. You can also ask for specialist chairs, ramps etc, and check what vehicles they can be added to.
  • Aside from being more comfortable than taking public transport, using a Sunderland van hire can also be more efficient at getting you, your friends, and their goods to a destination. If you are travelling in a large group, hiring a van could make the journey doable in only one vehicle, as opposed to taking two cars, for example. Likewise, it may be more efficient to transport heavy-duty equipment or items in a hire van, or they simply may not fit in a hire car.
  • We encourage you to plan out your trip in advance, if possible, so that you can be aware of bus and taxi lanes that you may not be able to use during certain hours of the day. You should also try and keep an eye out for cyclists, particularly if you are less familiar with driving a van, and the bigger size of the vehicle. We encourage you to drive safely, particularly when approaching pedestrian crossings with a fully loaded van, as it will react differently due to its increased weight.

FAQs About Hiring a Van in Sunderland

  • Do I need a different licence to drive a van in Sunderland?

    If you decide to hire a van to transport people, and their luggage, then it should be acceptable to hire a people mover van without needing anything more than the basic driving licence. If you would like to transport heavy duty, materials, or equipment, then you may need to have a superior licence, or proof of practise with this type of vehicle in order to hire it. We recommend that you check your licence to see what you are covered to drive, and contact the hire company if you have any questions.

  • Can I pick the van up in one place and drop it off in a different place in Sunderland?

    Most car hire companies allow you to hire a van in one location in Sunderland and drop it off at another, but we recommend that you check with the hire company in advance to check if there are any changes to the lease of the vehicle. You may want to confirm if the van can be dropped off in another location, and if the price will change, depending on how far away it is to the original pickup point.

  • Do I need extra insurance when using a Sunderland van hire compared to hiring a car in Sunderland?

    Hiring a van is usually more expensive than hiring a car due to the larger size, increased price of the vehicle itself and the increase in liability when driving. We recommend that you check with the hire company itself when making the comparison, and also get in touch with your credit card company, as they may cover part or all of the insurance costs, depending on your credit card plan.

  • How does KAYAK find such low van hire prices?

    KAYAK compares van hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.
