Short version:match the van to load length and door height, check the mileage and deposit, and confirm any driver conditions — we’ll do that for your branch.

What a cargo van gives you

An empty, sealed load space instead of seats — good for moving days, deliveries and trade runs. Most drive like a large car, though height and blind spots take a few minutes to get used to.

What to check before you book

Load length and door height matter more than badge size — tell us what you’re carrying and we’ll match the van. Also check the mileage allowance for longer moves and the deposit, which can be higher than for a car.

Who can drive it

A standard licence covers a cargo van for personal use at most branches, but some add a minimum-age or extra-driver condition. We’ll confirm before you book.
