Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Van in Preston
Whether you’re moving house, heading off to uni, planning an event, or running a business, there’s one thing you might not have considered yet: van hire. It might not sound like the most exciting topic at first, but trust us—hiring a van can make life so much easier. At Easihire Preston, we’re all about helping things go a little more smoothly (and a lot more affordably).
Here are the top five reasons people across Preston are turning to van hire—and why you might want to do the same.
1. Moving House Without the Headache
Let’s face it—moving house can be a pain. Boxes, furniture, that awkward corner sofa that just won’t fit through the front door… it’s a mission. But hiring a van gives you the flexibility to move on your own terms.
Whether you’re heading just around the corner in Fulwood or moving across town to Penwortham, a van can save you time, effort, and a whole lot of petrol money on multiple car trips. Our vans come in various sizes, so whether you’re shifting a flat’s worth of furniture or tackling a whole house move, we’ve got you covered.
Bonus: no need to ask your mate with a van (again).
2. Business Deliveries Made Easy
Small business owner? Local tradesperson? Side hustle king or queen? If you’re delivering products or equipment, the last thing you want is to be squeezing boxes into your car boot.
Our vans are perfect for one-off jobs or regular deliveries. Need to drop off stock at a market stall in Preston city centre? Doing a run to a client in Chorley? Easihire has affordable short and long-term options to keep your business rolling without the stress (or backseat full of cardboard boxes).
Plus, hiring a van can give your business a more professional image—especially when you’re not turning up to a job with tools piled on your passenger seat.
3. Student Moves Without the Stress
Students of Preston—this one’s for you! Whether you’re heading to UCLan halls for the first time or moving out of a shared house at the end of term, lugging suitcases, kettles and kitchen chairs on public transport just isn’t the vibe.
Hiring a van for the day means you can move everything in one go—and you can rope in your mates for help (we recommend bribing them with pizza). Our van rentals are super student-friendly, and you’ll be surprised at how affordable it can be when you split the cost.
So skip the drama with dad’s estate car and make your uni move simple and stress-free.
4. Perfect for Events and Adventures
Planning a wedding? Organising a charity event? Heading out on a group camping trip? If you’ve ever tried packing tents, tables, decorations, and speakers into a tiny car boot, you’ll know how quickly things get cramped.
Hiring a van gives you the freedom to focus on the fun stuff. You’ll have room for everything—and everyone—and you won’t need to worry about making ten trips back and forth. From music gear to marquees, you name it, we’ve helped move it.
It’s the perfect solution for when the car just won’t cut it.
5. Flexibility When You Need It Most
Life throws curveballs—house emergencies, last-minute gigs, spontaneous business opportunities. Sometimes, you just need a van right now. We pride ourselves on being flexible and easy to deal with. Whether you need a van for a couple of hours, a weekend, or a whole week, we’ll get you sorted fast.
Our team is friendly, local, and always happy to help find the right van for the job. We keep things simple: clear pricing, no hidden fees, and a straightforward booking process.
Because we believe that hiring a van shouldn’t feel like pulling teeth.
Ready to Roll?
Whatever your reason, hiring a van can make life a whole lot easier. And when you hire from Easihire Preston, you’re not just getting a vehicle—you’re getting local service, flexible options, and a team that genuinely wants to help you get the job done.
So next time you’ve got something big to move, don’t overthink it. Hire a van and get on with it—you’ll be glad you did.
