Looking for van hire?
Let us tell you why you’re better off using AnyVan.
Looking to hire a van for your move?
When it comes to moving, you have several options:
- Do you rope in friends to help and load up their car?
- Should you order a vehicle from a ride-sharing app?
- Could you lug your new sofa from A to B on the Tube?
- Or are the low price points stickered on van rentals too enticing to say no to?
You might have seen some of our AnyVans driving around the UK, proudly claiming that we're up to 40% cheaper than traditional removals companies. And, regarding self-drive options, AnyVan is not only affordable, but it's also the easiest option.
Is renting a van cheaper than AnyVan?
Seeing vans parked up adorned with eye-catching marketing such as "hire me from £10 p/h" may mean you've already started planning your next move.
However, these offerings aren't what they seem. Instead, they're intertwined with the following:
- Membership fees
- Time allocations
- Age restrictions
- Late return fees
- Other hidden costs
Using the professionals means you get all your costs upfront, with no hidden charges and no membership fees necessary. With our instant quote system, what you see is what you get.
Can anyone book an AnyVan?
Regardless of the rental vehicle size, those under 25 may encounter restrictions or face paying a premium when booking. In addition, vendors sometimes won’t even rent a van to those aged 17-24.
With AnyVan, there’s no age restriction - and no price hikes for anyone - meaning AnyVan is the best-placed company to help move students, young families and those starting their careers.
Do I need insurance for AnyVan?
Renting a van means the items you’re transporting from point A to B are your responsibility. You have to pack, load and haul everything yourself. But what if something goes wrong and damages or breakages occur? Unfortunately, contents cover isn’t included.
With AnyVan, all our moves come with a basic level of coverage included in the price. So, if the worst happens, you can rest easy knowing your items should be protected.
Is it more convenient to rent a vehicle than use AnyVan?
Popular ride-sharing apps, rental services and van hire options may adorn the sides of London buses, train stations, public transport or billboards. Catchy marketing is the ideal way to draw crowds in, but what if you're one of the millions who don't live in London?
Often, this means incredibly restricted availability, pre-booked reservations and limited time constraints for the few vehicles you can book. When moving day comes, do you really want to be jostling with everyone in your area to secure the one available van to carry out your move? Or be forced to wait until late evening for your reservation?
Of course, you don't - and with AnyVan, you don't need to. We know that most people don't live in London, so London-centric services aren't suited to them or their move, which is why we have thousands of vans on the road, covering anywhere from Penrith to Penzance and beyond. Whether you live in a remote village in Scotland or a bustling metropolis, we're the best-placed company to move you from A to B.
Where do I collect an AnyVan?
One of the most tedious parts of moving can be physically collecting the vehicle you’ve hired. Contesting with traffic, time limits, pre-booking time slots, and fuelling/re-fuelling vehicles can add hours - and costs - to an already drawn-out process.
At AnyVan, you choose where you’re moving from - and where you’re going. Doing so means you don’t have to leave home on moving day. Instead, we’ll turn up, load the van and take your belongings to their destination.
What’s easier, renting a vehicle or using AnyVan?
Contesting with membership fees, deposits, pre-booked vehicles and driving restrictions, it's more complex than it seems. Your age, driving licence and status may mean that several rental services won't let you access a vehicle big enough to cope with a house move in one go, which may mean repeat journeys, adding more time to your day.
Additionally, you must travel to the collection point before loading a van, navigating traffic, unpacking, refuelling and dropping it back off, adding even more hours to your journey. Plus, there's no coverage in case of accidents, bumps or breakages. Trusting AnyVan with your move means no stress about costs, time, fuel, traffic or damages - instead, it's all included in the quoted price.
Why use AnyVan to move home?
Whether you're moving house, a highchair or a headboard, it can take considerable time and effort to get things packed up and transported. Boxes need packing, furniture requires disassembling, and a vehicle with enough space needs collecting, loaded, driven to a destination, unpacked, refuelled and then dropped off. Then, after all that, you must still reassemble everything before you can go to bed that night.
What may have seemed like a job that could've taken a couple of hours quickly spirals and consumes a whole day, or in some cases, two. But what if it didn't have to be that difficult?
With AnyVan, we remove the stress and effort associated with a move. With a few simple clicks, you can send us your moving itinerary, choose your date, and select from a one- or two-person option for the move. Then, you can put your feet up and let us take care of the rest. We'll drive to you, disassemble and pack for you, take your items to your destination, unpack and reassemble.
