Van Hire Gorebridge

Choose a van that suits the work

Before anything else, think about what the van actually needs to carry. A house clearance demands a different vehicle from a weekend move or a trade delivery, so tell the hire team about the load, the number of passengers and any awkward access at either end. With that picture in mind, SDVH can point you towards an appropriate category or a similar model, rather than leaving you to guess from a list.

Time your hire around the journey

Once the vehicle type is settled, work out when you genuinely need it. Build in time for loading before departure and unloading afterwards, and let the team know your preferred pickup window. Exact availability is confirmed at booking, so it is worth having a fallback date ready if your first choice is already taken. If your plans start in Gorebridge but finish elsewhere, mention that early too.

Understand the terms before you agree

The details that matter most sit in the booking terms rather than the brochure. Check the mileage allowance against your expected route, the standard insurance excess, who will be named as drivers, and whether any optional cover appeals. If you need European travel or a one-way arrangement, raise it now so nothing catches you out later. Every one of these points is confirmed individually for each booking.

Send an enquiry that gets results

A well-prepared enquiry shortens the whole process. Include your preferred times, rough mileage, the main vehicle requirements and any delivery or collection needs. The precise model, price and availability are all confirmed once the details are in, and you will have a clear answer rather than a vague estimate. Keep the confirmation to hand so you can check the agreed terms on handover day.
