Let’s take a look at some of the most commonly asked questions about van hire.
What documentation is needed?
Your hire company will need to see identification, proof of address and licence details before arranging your van hire. When collecting a hire van, the hirer may check for how many penalty points are held on your licence. You may need a code for them to check online with the DVLA for newer electronic licences.
What happens if you break down?
Contact details for breakdown assistance are provided with all van hires.
What is the minimum age?
In most countries, you will need to be over 21 to hire a vehicle and must have held your licence for at least one year. Further restrictions may apply for vans.
What if you are late returning the vehicle?
A grace period is allowed for all vehicle returns; after this period, additional hourly rate charges will apply.
Can you drive a hire van abroad?
You may be able to drive your hire van abroad, depending on the conditions of your rental, the country, and licensing restrictions. You should always obtain prior consent from your hire company.
