  • Easy booking process.The booking process shouldn’t be difficult. Many van hires allow you to make a reservation online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some companies will also bring the van where you need it and leave it for you.
  • Good van condition. Before you take the van out, inspect it and make note of any pre-existing damage. Don’t be afraid to ask about any issues the van may have or about the company’s service record.
