Clean, nimble and un-complicated – Compact Cars are a very popular choice; made well, achieving impressive reliability, and offering great running costs. A brilliant rental choice for low cost, last minute short or long term companionship.
Stylish, smart and well-equipped – our range of Small Cars combine everything that is good from a Compact Car, but with the added room to make the longer journies that more comfortable.
These provide great value and continue to be a firm favourite for many.
If you’re looking for a car to combine style, power and comfort, but not skimping on storage space then you’re in the right place.
Time and time again renters turn to cars in this bracket for the car that is perfectly suited for those using it for business, or for leisure.
Packed with technology and comfort enjoy great performance and ample boot space for extra luggage or practicality. Available in manual or automatic.
Larger cars used to have a reputation for power, but without style – not any more.
If you are looking for a vehicle that works perfectly for a family, but still has car fans choosing it for a fun and stylish option to get around in.
Combining everything you would want and expect in a petrol car, but with the added benefit of being quiet, as well as being friendly both to the environment, and your pocket.
Great large family practicality and all round good comfort. Modern, reliable and safe.
Whether you want a smart vehicle for that trip with the extended family, or a minibus for the group outing, there’s a solution tailored for you.
Excellent design and practicality. Offering great safety security and fuel efficiency. A smart “load-through” design under the passenger seat means this van offers a 3m load capacity for some objects. Get round with ease and comfort for all those small – mid size jobs.
Versatile and capable; these are a great rental choice for the smaller loads. Slightly bigger than the typical small van.
Short Wheelbase Vans: the ideal solution for those small house clearances, tip runs or for tradespeople – and more manoeuvrability than a longer-wheel base van.
Medium Wheelbase Vans are a popular choice for sole traders and business owners alike. These offer a great balance: not overly big, but not too small.
These vans offer the most flexibility as they’re small enough to manoeuvre and park, but also boast a reasonable load space.
Long Wheelbase Vans are ideal for those small to medium home clearances. These are also perfect or for commercial use and are popular for Couriers and Removal companies.
Please contact the office if you require a transit with a towbar.
Extra-Long Wheelbase vans provide that extra space that the LWB variant doesn’t – making it a better choice for bulkier jobs, or those looking to transport scaffold poles or particularly long building materials.
Our Low Loader vehicles offer a great “no tail lift required” solution. With a low to ground loading ground clearance these vehicles are ultra-accessible. Our low loader vans come in different shapes and sizes! Some with shutters, some with barn doors. The internal height can vary from 2.0m – 2.55cm, and load lengths from 4.0- 4.7m. All offer overhead cab storage too. You can drive all our vans on a standard licence.
The ideal solution for pallet deliveries, awkward loads and loading ease.
A Luton curtain sider to be precise. Pure ease of load with side loading capability, simply pull back the curtains and lift on / off (forklift not included sorry)!
