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
The method at each end matters as much as the journey between them.
Separate the heaviest item from the overall load estimate. Note how you intend to get it on and off a truck and ask what equipment a proposed vehicle has.
Check the licence categories each driver holds, as heavier vehicles may need more than a standard car licence.
Tell us what the truck is for, since operator rules may apply depending on the vehicle and the work.
Give the team a proposed handover address, then check turning and unloading arrangements at the job sites with those responsible for them. Standard business handovers exclude stations, airports and ports.
Woodley truck hire journey notes
Use the exact Woodley address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Winnersh, Twyford, Reading, treat those as separate destinations and identify the loading, unloading or parking point required at each one. That distinction matters for commercial loads, site moves and larger deliveries from Woodley and routes using the surrounding road network where turning space and access matter, because load weight, body type, loading method, access and any operator-licensing requirements must be assessed at the real stopping point rather than inferred from a nearby place name.
Headley Road in Woodley appears on Wokingham Borough Council's list of local trading estates. When a truck job involves an estate address, share the exact location with us and check with the site that a larger vehicle can get in.
