Commercial vehicle support and controlled terms

Truck hire terms to check for Datchet

Read the booking terms

Free Delivery & Collection

Ask for the hire vehicle to be delivered to and collected from an eligible UK mainland home or workplace address.

The address, access, timing and vehicle must be confirmed. Stations, airports and ports are excluded from standard delivery, as are empty properties where the customer is not registered. Failed, changed or specialist arrangements can incur charges.

Unlimited Rental Mileage

Unlimited mileage is offered on eligible rentals within a 2,800-mile fair-use allowance per calendar month or 28-day period, or pro rata.

Excess miles are charged per mile plus VAT, and higher-mileage terms for company rentals can be arranged in advance. Unlimited mileage does not apply to courier use, which is prohibited.

Entire United Kingdom Coverage

Delivery and collection can be checked for eligible local and long-distance vehicle-hire requests across the UK mainland.

The exact postcode, requested vehicle and date must be checked. Islands and non-mainland movements can require separate arrangements.

European Cover Option

Eligible vehicles may be taken to approved European destinations when permission, insurance and breakdown cover are arranged before departure.

Charges, deposits, documents, vehicle restrictions and country rules apply. One-way hire is limited to UK mainland postcodes, so European one-way hire is not offered.

One Way Vehicle Rental

Selected vehicles can be requested for collection from a different eligible UK mainland location, avoiding an unnecessary return journey.

The start and finish postcodes, vehicle, route and one-way charge must be confirmed before booking. The service is not available for European one-way journeys.

Insurance Is Included

Comprehensive insurance is normally included for eligible named drivers on vehicles up to and including 7.5 tonnes, unless a different arrangement is requested and approved.

Driver approval, excess and exclusions apply. Goods in transit, overhead-height, tyre, windscreen and flood damage are excluded. 18, 26 and 44 tonne vehicles require customer insurance and applicable operator credentials.

Company Own Insurance - 10%

A 10% hire-rate reduction may apply when an acceptable company motor policy provides the required comprehensive cover for the hired vehicle and drivers.

The policy and certificate of insurance must be supplied and approved before delivery, and the customer is responsible for adding the supplied vehicle to the Motor Insurance Database for the hire period. Eligibility depends on the vehicle and proposed use.

Wide Range Available

Representative car, van, minibus and truck groups can be compared, with vehicle suitability and exact specification confirmed for the booking.

Images and model names describe representative classes. The exact make, model, transmission, body and specification are confirmed for the booking.

Specify the load, sites and commercial use

Plan truck hire in Datchet

Start with what will pass into the load space and how it will be handled, then check the vehicle class and driver.

Load and weight

Measure the longest and widest pieces in their travelling form. Give the total weight as well; fitting through an opening is only one part of choosing a truck.

Driver entitlement

Ask which weight class is under consideration and have the intended driver's entitlement checked for it before proceeding.

Purpose of the hire

Describe why the goods are being moved and who the work is for. That context is needed when considering operator requirements.

Agreed handover

Agree where the hire begins independently of any venue receiving the load. Standard business handover locations cannot be a station, airport or port.

Truck hire, insurance and operator questions for Datchet

Truck Hire questions
Can I drive a truck on my car licence?
The answer needs the truck's weight class and your licence categories together. Provide those details for checking instead of assuming a lightly loaded truck needs only car entitlement.
Do operator rules apply?
Explain the purpose of the transport as well as what is being carried. Verify the operator requirements relevant to that use and vehicle before undertaking the work.
Is the truck pictured the one I'll get?
The picture is an example. If a particular loading feature is necessary for your awkward items, request confirmation of that feature rather than relying on the image.
