One of the UK's oldest and most popular seaside resorts, Great Yarmouth has always depended on the sea for its living in various ways. Once a major fishing port, today it also serves offshore oil rigs as a base for support vessels.

Closer to home, Great Yarmouth's attractions include large, sandy beaches (15 miles in total) and a horse racing track with a one mile straight, allowing special races over this distance. Speedway riders, stock cars and greyhounds also race at various venues around the town.

Great Yarmouth has a population of around 48,000 people and is home to a wide range of industry and business. As a result, there is a steady demand for van hire in the town, met by the local van rental operators. Expect to be able to hire all common types of van:

• Medium / short wheelbase vans - e.g. Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic, Volkswagen Transporter
• Small vans - e.g. Vauxhall Combo, Ford Transit Connect, VW Caddy
• Large / long wheelbase vans - e.g. Mercedes Sprinter XLWB, Ford Transit LWB, Renault Master, LDV Maxus
• Luton vans & box vans (3.5 tonne / 3.5t).
