I’m pleased to report that vanrental.co.uk now offers van hire coverage in Chipping Sodbury.

This South Gloucestershire town can trace its history back to the 12th century, making it one of the older settlements in the area. But despite an appealing rural location and village feel, ti’s actually fairly close to Bristol, and neighbouring Yate offers a direct rail service to the south-western city.

At the time of writing (Jan 2018) we have just one van hire supplier in Chipping Sodbury, Enterprise. This well-known global firm has a comprehensive branch network around the UK (here’s a list) and normally provides a good choice of nearly-new vans in popular sizes, including medium, long and extra-long panel vans.

We’re keen to add more van hire suppliers in Chipping Sodbury (or Yate) to improve our comparison results. If you run a rental company in the area and would like to add your firm to our van and minibus hire search system, then please check out our options for getting listed or get in touch with us directly.

The Wirral town of Heswall is the latest location to be added to our growing database of UK van and minibus hire locations . We now have more than 560 locations, many with multiple hire companies that you can compare through our independent price comparison system.

Heswall is a smallish town but it’s only around 20 minutes’ drive to Chester and Liverpool. It’s a popular place to live on Merseyside, with a population of more than 12,000, including nearby Gayton and Barnston.

At the time of writing (Jan 2018) we only have one van hire supplier in Heswall, which is Enterprise. This well-known hire group always offers a decent range of modern vans. Sizes range from small to extra long — and Enterprise also offers luton vans for DIY house removals or heavy objects requiring a tail lift.

We’re keen to add more van hire suppliers in Heswall, so if you run a rental company in the area and would like to add your firm to our van hire search system, then please check out our options for getting listed or get in touch with us directly.

Histon, Cambridgeshire

The Cambridgeshire village of Histon is one of the latest locations to be added to vanrental.co.uk’s ever-expanding price comparison system. We now cover 569 locations in the UK and Ireland, many of which have a number of competing van hire suppliers for you to choose from.

Histon is actually paired up with the adjoining village of Impington. The two together form a large, rural residential area with a population of around 11,000. Histon is only about 5 miles from Cambridge, so is a popular place to live. But such a large population means that local van hire is also in demand.

At the time of writing (Jan 2018) we only have one van hire supplier in Histon, Enterprise. This well-known hire company offers some of the best coverage of the UK (here’s a list of Enterprise locations) and always offers a decent selection of standard van sizes.

Among the most popular are medium and long-wheelbase panel vans, which are favourites for tradesmen, couriers and even small house moves (although a luton is usually better for this). Extra-long vans are also ideal for larger items of furniture or DIY items such as flat pack kits and lengths of timber that simply won’t fit into a car.

We’re keen to add more van hire suppliers in Histon and Impington, so if you run a rental company in the area and would like to add your firm to our van and minibus hire search system, then please check out our options for getting listed or get in touch with us directly.

Here at vanrental.co.uk we’re always trying to improve our coverage of van hire suppliers across the UK (and Ireland!).

One of the latest locations added to our van hire comparison system is the historic town of Dewsbury, midway between Wakefield and Brighouse in West Yorkshire. With a population of more than 60,000, there’s strong demand for van hire in this busy area of the UK.

At the time of writing (Jan 2018) we only have one branch here, courtesy of Enterprise. This well-known firm has one of the largest and most comprehensive network of hire locations in the UK (here’s a list).

Enterprise’s van fleet includes all the most common sizes of vans — from small vans (ideal for small deliveries, large dogs or band gear) right up to luton vans, which are ideal for small house moves and heavy items requiring a tail lift.

We’re keen to add more van hire suppliers in Dewsbury, so if you run a rental company in the area and would like to add your firm to our van hire search system, then please check out our options for getting listed or get in touch with us directly.
