How each benefit feeds into the weight, body and use decisions for a truck hire.
Read the booking termsPropose the eligible home or workplace address where the truck should arrive. Describe any height, width or turning limits there before the handover is confirmed.
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.
Truck work is often business use, so agree the expected mileage in writing before booking. Describe the whole job, because eligibility depends on the vehicle and how it's used.
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.
If the job starts outside Slough, give the postcode, truck type and date. The team can then check whether delivery there is possible.
The exact postcode, requested vehicle and date must be checked. Islands and non-mainland movements can require separate arrangements.
Taking a truck abroad depends on the vehicle and the job. Ask before planning so permission, insurance, breakdown cover and country requirements can be checked.
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.
If the work finishes at another UK mainland site, ask whether that truck can be collected there. Confirm the route and charge before booking.
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.
For an eligible truck up to and including 7.5 tonnes, cover is normally included for approved named drivers. For 18, 26 and 44 tonne vehicles, arrange customer insurance and any applicable operator credentials. Know the truck's height too, because overhead-height damage is excluded.
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.
If your business already insures its trucks, you can submit that policy for approval. Ask whether the reduction applies to the weight and use you have in mind.
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.
Match the body type, payload and driver's licence category to the job before choosing a group. The exact body and specification are 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
Truck hire turns on a few specific questions, and answering them early saves back-and-forth.
Estimate the weight and nature of what's going on board.
Look at the categories on the driver's licence, since entitlement limits which trucks they can drive.
Explain the job in detail, as operator rules can apply depending on the vehicle and how it's used.
Agree a handover address with the team; business handovers don't take place at stations, airports or ports.
