# Documents you need to hire a van

Updated October 2026 · 3 min read

**To hire a van you typically need a valid full UK driving licence, proof of identity, proof of address, and, for work use, evidence of your trade or business. Having these ready speeds up the process and helps you get on the road faster. Insurance is arranged separately, there is no credit check to get a quote, and enquiring never affects your credit score.**
