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
Set-up and removal can make different demands on the truck and on the hire period.
Describe the outward and return loads separately if their contents differ. Give dimensions and combined weight for whichever movement is more demanding.
Confirm who will handle both movements. Have their licence categories checked against the truck's required entitlement before settling the driving plan.
Explain the work taking place between loading and removal as well as the goods carried. Check operator obligations for the proposed vehicle and use.
Discuss the hire meeting address separately from the loading site and obtain agreement. Standard business handovers cannot be arranged at an airport, port or station.
Hungerford truck hire journey notes
Hungerford's Town Hall and Corn Exchange are offered for exhibitions, markets, private events and business meetings. For an event you have booked, work backwards from the agreed set-up and removal times when deciding on a hire period, and settle how your stock or equipment will be received before arranging a truck.

From freight specification to truck allocation
The phone enquiry should cover when the job begins, when equipment comes back and what the truck must carry on each movement.
Give the loading and removal schedule, load measurements and weight, with the intended driver and purpose.
Compare the truck proposed with both loads and resolve licence or operator questions alongside the quote.
Check that the hire window extends through the planned removal and return, then verify the vehicle class, charge and agreed meeting point.
