Van hire for construction and the trades
Thanks, your enquiry is in.
We’ll pass your details to a suitable rental partner from our panel, and they’ll be in touch about what they can offer. As an introducer we don’t supply the vehicle ourselves, and there’s nothing more you need to send us right now, we’re not asking for any documents at this stage.
Nothing is agreed until you deal directly with the supplier and you’re happy to go ahead.

Prices shown are guide “from” figures and may vary — with term length, mileage, availability and your risk profile. Your rental partner confirms the exact price before anything is agreed.
The van is the trade. Get the wrong one and you are carrying materials in the back of a car or paying for a Luton you do not need. Construction work is also lumpy: flat out on a job, quiet between them. Short-term hire lets the vehicle, and the cost, follow the work.
The right body for the job
An electrician wants a tidy panel van with racking; a plumber needs the payload for tanks and copper; a builder or groundworker often needs a tipper, dropside or Luton for aggregates and waste. We match you to a partner who can supply the body type the trade actually needs.
Flexible for lumpy workloads
Win a big contract and you might need a second or third van for a few months. Short-term hire lets you scale up for the job and hand vehicles back when it is finished, instead of financing a van that sits idle between projects.
All credit welcome on site
Trades and construction firms do not always have a spotless credit file or years of accounts, especially the newer ones. Partners judge it on affordability now, so a rough patch or a short history does not have to stop the van arriving.

Common questions
Which trades do you cover?
Electricians, plumbers, builders, groundworkers, scaffolders, carpenters, roofers and more. Tell us the trade and we will match the right van.
Can I get a tipper or Luton?
Yes. We match you to a partner who can supply tippers, dropsides, Lutons and crew cabs as well as standard panel vans.
We are a new construction firm with no accounts, does that matter?
Not on its own. Short-term hire is affordability-led and all credit is welcome, so newer firms can still get the right van on the road.
