Top Tips for hiring a van in Taunton
- When collecting your Taunton van hire, we recommend that you try and pick the van up outside the peak congestion hours, as it can lead to delays and inconvenience. Traffic and congestion tend to peak around 08:00 to 9:30 and from around 17:00 to 18:30, especially in the town centre of Taunton. This can also make parking more complicated in the Taunton area, as people are leaving work and school, and you should consider that parking a van is slightly harder due to the larger size, and the fact that there are fewer large parking spaces in that area.
- If you think that you will be collecting your Taunton van hire in summer, then you may want to get a vehicle that comes with air conditioning, as this will help to keep you and your passengers cool when it starts to get hot. There are plenty of other extra features to choose from, including speciality ramps or chairs, and we encourage you to contact the hire company if you have any particular requests. You may also want to add in a GPS system to help you get around more confidently, especially if you are not from the area.
- Using Taunton van hire is more convenient than taking public transport, as you can travel door to door in the van and unload your passengers or materials on the spot. You can also stick to your own schedule, without having to depend on the punctuality of trains or buses to get from A to B. You may also be able to reduce the number of round trips you do, by taking your passengers or goods all at once, whereas if you were to go in a car, you may need more vehicles or to make the journey more than once.
- Please take care when you are driving around in your Taunton van hire, as cyclists and walkers are common on the roads, and you may find pedestrians crossing the streets at unmarked locations. You will see that there are cycle lanes, which you must stay out of, and there are also taxi and bus lanes that are only to be used by taxis and buses at certain signposted hours. If you find yourself in a bus lane, you should get out as soon as safely possible, as you may receive a fixed penalty fine for using the lane at the wrong time.
FAQs About Hiring a Van in Taunton
Do I need a special licence to hire a van in Taunton?
A basic driving licence is usually enough to be able to drive a hire van that is designed for transporting larger groups of people, but we encourage you to check your licence and what it permits you to do. If you have any further questions, then you can always contact the hire company directly. If you want to use a cargo van to transport materials or heavy-duty goods, then you may need to undergo specialist training or have a superior licence.
Do the hire companies allow me to pick up in Taunton and drop off somewhere else?
Most hire companies in Taunton allow you to pick up the van in one location and drop it off in another, but you should agree these terms before booking and before collecting the vehicle. You should be aware that if the drop-off location is very far away from the original pick-up point, then you may need to pay more to book the vehicle.
What differences are there in insuring a van in Taunton?
There will be a few options for insurance when choosing your Taunton van hire, and we recommend that you read through these options carefully before booking. However, most hire vans will cost more than hiring a car, due to the increase liability of driving them. You may want to contact your credit card company and see if they will cover part or all of the insurance costs.

Cons:
Got an SUV instead of sedan. There are a lot of narrow roads in the U.K. And I was very uncomfortable driving something big on them. The day before I was to return the vehicle a stone hit the windshield and cracked it. They charged me for it. Had I been in the sedan that I reserved, the stone would have gone right over it. Doubt that I'll rent from Enterprise again!Firefly
