Support for moves, deliveries and trade work
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.
Measure the load and check both addresses
What you are carrying shapes the right van more than anything else.
Timber lengths, sofas or wardrobes set the minimum load length, so take measurements before asking for a quote.
Dense materials such as paving or sand can reach a van's payload limit well before the space looks full.
Line up helpers, straps and blankets in advance, especially for awkward items without handles.
Build in enough time to empty the van and bring it back, as moves and supply runs often overrun.
Tilehurst van hire journey notes
Use the exact Tilehurst address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Theale, Pangbourne, Reading, treat those as separate destinations and identify the loading, unloading or parking point required at each one. That distinction matters for house moves, storage runs and furniture collections around Tilehurst and trade and delivery routes using the surrounding road network, because load dimensions, payload, loading order and stopping space must be assessed at the real stopping point rather than inferred from a nearby place name.
Travis Perkins lists its Reading Tilehurst branch at 132 City Road, RG31 5SD, with timber, landscaping, drainage and lintel departments. First ask whether the branch accepts your proposed hired-van transport. If it agrees, confirm order readiness, packed dimensions and weight before discussing a van for the load.
