Van Hire

Thinking of a clear, dependable way to move furniture, deliver stock, or borrow extra space for a DIY weekend? Start with Van Hire from Anything for Hire. With over 20 years in the UK hire market, we’ve seen almost every scenario you can imagine — last-minute house moves, one-off trades jobs, and small businesses needing short-term fleets — and we’ve built a platform that makes finding the right van straightforward and stress-free.

Why Choose Van Hire with Anything for Hire

Why choose Van Hire with Anything for Hire? Because we combine trusted local suppliers, easy price comparison, and honest information so you can book with confidence. Rather than calling around, you can see availability, vehicle specs and supplier ratings in one place — that saves time and helps you make a better decision.

Tailored van options

Need a compact van for city streets or a long-wheelbase for bulky furniture? Our search filters let you narrow by size, payload, transmission and fuel type. Choosing the right vehicle up front avoids hidden surprises on collection day and keeps your job running smoothly.

Trusted network

We work with vetted suppliers across the UK — from local independents to national fleets — so you get choice and reassurance. Each provider has been reviewed for reliability and clear terms, and many offer flexible collection points in urban centres like London, regional hubs such as Manchester, and university cities like Edinburgh.

Our platform handles the quote comparison and routes you to suppliers with the best fit — it’s made for people who want results, not paperwork.

Choosing the Right Van

Picking the right vehicle is about matching cargo, distance and driver comfort. Use real measurements of the biggest item you need to carry and check payload ratings — a van that looks big can still be overloaded if you don’t watch the numbers.

Cargo vs Passenger

Choosing between a cargo van and a passenger model is a practical call: pick a cargo van for tools, boxes and deliveries; choose a passenger van if you’re moving people plus luggage. If you need both, many suppliers offer dual-purpose options with removable seating.

Wheelbase & Payload

Pay attention to Wheelbase & Payload. Long wheelbase vans give extra internal length for sofas and wardrobes; payload is the real limiter for heavy loads. We surface both specs so you can balance volume against legal weight limits.

Preparing for Pickup

A smooth pickup starts with a checklist: take your driving licence and booking confirmation, measure kit and doorways at both ends, and confirm fuel policy with the supplier. Packing strategically — heavy items low and forward — makes driving easier and reduces the chance of damage.

• Confirm collection time and location with the supplier
• Bring two forms of ID and the payment method used for booking
• Secure fragile items with straps or blankets
• Check tyre condition and mirrors before you set off

Safety and Insurance

Safety matters. We highlight each provider’s insurance options and recommend choosing the level that reflects your trip’s risk: local short runs differ from long-distance hauls. Anything for Hire makes insurance transparency a priority so you can compare cover without guesswork.
