Van Hire Devon

Essential Amenities In Devon

Devon’s diverse landscape encompasses two coastlines, Dartmoor National Park and rolling countryside, connected by a network of major roads and rural routes. The county’s unique geography provides distinct considerations for business operations, residential moves and goods transport throughout the region.

Before exploring Devon’s road network, selecting the right vehicle size is crucial. Small vans provide ideal access to Devon’s cobbled streets and country backroads. Mid-sized transit vans offer versatility for domestic moves and business deliveries, particularly in busy areas like market towns. For commercial needs and larger house moves, Luton vans with tail lifts ensure efficient handling of substantial loads. The straightforward booking process starts with a phone call to discuss your requirements. You’ll need to specify your van preference, confirm the duration and timing of hire and provide contact details including names, phone numbers and addresses for all drivers. Delivery and collection points require precise postcodes for scheduling. When your van is delivered, all drivers will need to show their driving licence, which must be valid and held for a minimum of one year. While we do review licence endorsements and points, these don’t automatically prevent you from hiring. Extra drivers may be included on the rental contract.
