Commercial vehicle support and controlled terms
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
For bulky equipment, establish its travelling dimensions before deciding how much truck space to request.
Measure equipment in its packed form, including any parts that cannot be removed. Add the weight of every item travelling on the same run.
Choose the intended driver before narrowing the vehicle choice. Have their entitlement checked against the weight class under discussion.
Explain the job behind the journey, not just the destination. Private and business purposes need to be described so relevant operator questions can be addressed.
Put forward a home or business address and ask whether it can be agreed for this truck. A station, airport or port is excluded as a business handover point.

From freight specification to truck allocation
Use the phone enquiry to distinguish what the truck must carry from where it can lawfully and practically be used.
Describe the largest pieces, the combined weight and how you intend to load them. Include the purpose of the trip and nominated driver.
Compare the proposed truck with the packed load, then resolve licence and operator checks before relying on that choice.
Check that the quote covers the loading and unloading time you need, states the total charge and records the agreed handover.
