Whether you are a private individual or a business, there are plenty of good reasons to hire a van instead of buying or leasing one (or using an unsuitable car):<\/p>\n

Here are our top 10 reasons to rent a van:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Less wear and tear on your own car – why scuff up the interior of a decent car for the sake of a \u00a340 van rental<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  2. Easier to load than a car<\/a> if you’re moving large objects – large, flat floor and wide-opening doors<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Gives you the opportunity to try a vehicle before buying it<\/a> – can’t decide between a Transit and a Trafic or a Combo and a Caddy? (sorry, I couldn’t resist it…)<\/li>\n
  4. Many rental companies will now collect you from your home or workplace and take you to their branch to collect the van – so you don’t need your own transport at all.<\/li>\n
  5. You need a van for a few months, you aren’t sure how long: Long-term van rental<\/a> is often very competitively priced and avoids the commitment of a lease or contract purchase plan. Many hire companies (like Europcar<\/a>) offer long-term hire, but consider services like Norflex<\/a>, too.<\/li>\n
  6. Your van broke down \/ was pranged yesterday and you have a busy schedule today: Hired vans are the perfect way to provide cover at short notice for fleet vehicles while they are repaired or serviced.<\/li>\n
  7. Hiring a van can be cheaper than paying for delivery of an item or using a ‘man & van’ service.<\/li>\n
  8. You are a small business that need to make deliveries – but not every day. Idle vans cost nearly as much as busy vans to run – so think carefully about whether you actually need a dedicated, full-time van. Many hire companies will be very flexible to met the need of regular business customers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
