Van hire benefits for a Southsea booking

The booking team confirms the important details up front, including availability, driver rules, mileage, delivery and any specialist vehicle requirements.

Read the booking terms

Free Collection & Delivery

Free delivery and collection are available for an eligible Southsea home or workplace.

Approval depends on the exact address, stopping space, time and vehicle. Stations, airports and ports are outside standard delivery and collection, as is an empty property where the customer is not registered. Failed, amended or specialist visits may cost extra.

Unlimited Rental Mileage

Qualifying van hire rentals include unlimited mileage, with the fair-use terms shown below.

Fair-use terms generally cap company rentals at 2,800 miles for 28 days, with a pro rata figure for other durations. Courier use is prohibited. Other delivery-service or additional-mileage work must be agreed in writing; excess charges can apply.

Mainland UK Coverage

Vehicles can be delivered and collected across the UK mainland when the exact journey details and supply are confirmed.

Confirm the journey postcodes, dates, vehicle class and intended use before relying on supply. Island locations and other non-mainland routes are assessed separately.

European Cover

European cover can be arranged for eligible vehicles once permission, insurance and breakdown support are in place.

Confirm every country, required document, charge, deposit and vehicle restriction before departure. The one-way service applies only between UK mainland postcodes and does not extend to European journeys.

One-Way Vehicle Hire

Selected hires can use separate eligible UK mainland start and finish postcodes.

Confirm the two postcodes, route, vehicle and one-way charge before booking. European one-way journeys are not offered.

Insurance Included

Comprehensive insurance is normally included for eligible named drivers on vehicles up to and including 7.5 tonnes.

Named drivers require approval and an excess remains payable. The policy excludes carried goods plus overhead-height, tyre, windscreen and flood damage, so read the complete insurance terms before booking.

10% Off With Approved Company Own Insurance

Using approved comprehensive company insurance can provide a 10% reduction on the hire rate.

Supply the policy and certificate for approval before delivery. The customer must add the vehicle to the Motor Insurance Database for the complete hire period.

Wide Vehicle Range Available

The representative van hire selection covers several classes for different loads, passenger needs and journeys.

Treat every photograph and model name as a class example. The supplied make, model, body type, transmission, equipment and full specification need confirmation.

Southsea van hire journey notes

Routes and access for van hire in Southsea

Use the exact Southsea address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Portsmouth, Gosport, Hayling Island, treat those as separate destinations and identify the public passenger, parking or loading point required at each one. That distinction matters for house moves, storage runs and furniture collections around Southsea and trade and delivery routes using A2030, A288 and M275, because load dimensions, payload, loading order and stopping space must be assessed at the real stopping point rather than inferred from a nearby place name.
