Hiring a Van with Us

We're often asked whether we rent out our vans. The answer is simple: we're not a van hire company. But if you'd like to use our van with one of our drivers to get your items from A to B — and you're happy to handle the loading and unloading yourself — then we can arrange this for you. The best part? We offer competitive hourly rates with no minimum hire time. Even if you need us for just an hour, that's perfectly fine.

To book this option, just give us a call or mention it when requesting your quote. It's a hassle-free alternative to traditional van rental and often much more convenient.

Why Choose Man with a Van Instead of Van Hire?

Many people assume they can hire a van for £50 a day, but the reality can be very different. With standard van rental, you'll need to factor in:

• Insurance excess — often £750 or more if there's any damage.
• Large deposits — companies typically hold £400–£500 on your credit card.
• Fuel costs — and remember, you'll do the driving.
• Weekend restrictions — many hire firms are closed Sundays, so a Saturday hire often means paying for 2 full days.
• Van size limitations — prices "from" may not get you the long wheel base you need.

With us, you'll always know exactly what you're getting: a clean, fully insured LWB High Roof Transit van, a professional driver, and the option of extra help if you need it.

Our Experience with Van Hire

To give you an idea of the costs, here's a genuine example from when I personally had to hire a van while mine was off the road:

• Sprinter LWB rental: £75.00 per day
• Refundable deposit: £450.00
• Optional waiver of £750 excess: £30.00 per day

Even with the waiver, I would have lost my £450 deposit if there had been an accident — even one that wasn't my fault. Compare that with hiring us: no hidden extras, no surprise deposits, and full peace of mind.

Bottom line: When you choose Man With A Van Northampton, you're choosing reliability, transparency, and flexibility without the headaches of traditional van hire.
