Van Hire Preston

Due to the size of the yard this may not always be possible. Please contact us the day before your hire so we can advise you on the current parking space. The site has 24-hour CCTV monitoring; however, all vehicles are left at your own risk.

You can collect your vehicle from the Preston branch anytime between:

• 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday
• 8am to 2pm Saturday
• 9am to 12pm Sunday

We offer a minimum rental period of 24hrs. You can take a vehicle for less than 24hrs, but we do not offer hourly rates.

Drivers must be over the age of 25 and driving for more than 2 years on a British / European driving licence. For anyone who doesn’t fit this criteria, please contact the branch directly and we will send your details through to our insurance provider (typically this can take 24hrs to get an answer). There is no maximum age requirement.

All drivers must not have any serious convictions or driving offences. If you have points on your licence for a speeding offence, we can allow up to 6 points. For clarification on points, please contact our Preston branch.

Drivers must bring a valid photo driving licence, 2 separate proofs of address (dated within 3 months) and a licence check code (dated within 21 days and not previously used). If you’re unsure of how to obtain your check code, bring your national insurance number to the branch and we will do it for you.

For drivers that have not used us before this can take between 10 to 20 minutes from entering the branch to leaving with your vehicle. For drivers that have used us before, the process can be as quick as 5 minutes.

We operate on a like-to-like fuel policy. All vehicles are to be brought back on a similar fuel level to when you collected the vehicle. If the vehicle returns to our Preston branch low on fuel you will be charged full pump price as well as an admin charge of £30.

For cars and small-medium vans our excess is £1,250. You can reduce your excess to £250 by purchasing our daily excess reduction package for only £20 per day.

The excess is to be held on a debit or credit card (to hire a car you must have a valid credit card).

The excess increases to £1,500 if you’re hiring a large or extra large van. You can reduce your excess down to £500 by purchasing our daily excess reduction package at £25 per day.

If you leave your deposit on a credit card this could be returned within 24hrs (subject to your bank’s policy and weekends)

On a debit card this can take between 5-10 working days.
