Dartford Cargo Van Hire

While the cost of insurance for hire vans tends to be more expensive than if you were to hire a car, it is usually proportionate to the vehicle that you choose, and is generally due to the increase in liability that comes with driving a van. If you are curious about how much more expensive the insurance is, we recommend that you get in touch with your credit card company, as they may cover part or all of the insurance claim.

If you plan on hiring a van that is designed to move larger groups of people, then you probably don't need to have a different type of driving licence to do so. However, if you are planning on using a heavy-duty van to move large materials or equipment, then you may need to have a driving licence that is superior to the basic type. We encourage you to check what your driving licence permits you to drive, and get in touch with the hire company if you have any further questions. You may also need to have completed some specialist training to be able to hire specific vans.

Most van hire companies will allow you to hire a van in one location and drop it off in another location. These terms should be agreed with the van hire company when forming your deal, and you should keep in mind that the further you go away from the original pick-up point, the more likely you are to pay an increased fare.
