The Leicestershire market town of Hinckley is home to around 45,000 people and has a history dating back to Saxon times. In the 17th century it became one of the main centres of the UK's hosiery industry, a position it held until the industry started to decline after the Second World War.

Hinckley retains a certain amount of industry today and its central position on the UK's motorway network makes it a popular location for distribution centres, too. Attractions in Hinckley for visitors to the area include the 13th century medieval church of Stoke Golding and Hinckley Museum, which is housed in a row of 17th century knitters' cottages.

Hinckley is a popular residential location thanks to its convient location and the town has local minibus and van rental companies offering a typical range of rental vehicles:

• 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).
