3. Additional Charges
When hiring a van or car, it’s important to consider additional charges that could impact the overall cost. Insurance coverage is typically included in your rental, but optional additional coverage can be added for peace of mind, with an extra fee. Fuel charges follow a full-to-full policy, meaning you’ll need to return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel it had when you picked it up. Failing to do so may incur additional costs. Be mindful of late return fees—a charge may apply if the vehicle is not returned on time. Mileage limits are set for each rental, and exceeding these limits will result in excess charges. For those needing extra tools, additional equipment such as GPS, roof racks, or moving equipment can be added for a small daily fee, helping make your rental more tailored to your needs. Always check the rental agreement for full details on these extras!
4. Deposit vs. No Deposit
When hiring a vehicle, you have the option to pay a £250 deposit, which is fully refundable when the vehicle is returned in good condition and on time.
The deposit is typically refunded within a few days, but check your rental agreement for specific timelines. A deposit is required as a form of security in case of damage or other issues during the hire period.
If you prefer not to pay the deposit upfront, our no-deposit option is available for an additional £10 per day. This can be ideal for customers who don’t have the funds for a deposit or prefer a more flexible arrangement. While it adds a daily fee, it offers peace of mind by eliminating the upfront cost. Ultimately, the choice between a deposit and no-deposit option depends on your immediate financial situation and rental needs.
5. How to Get the Best Value When Hiring a Van
Getting the best value when hiring a van in Kent comes down to a few smart choices. Booking in advance often leads to better rates, especially for longer rentals, as last-minute hires can be more expensive.
Choosing the right size vehicle for your needs ensures you’re not paying for extra space you don’t need, while also avoiding the inconvenience of trying to fit too much into a smaller van. Opting for a longer rental period can unlock potential discounts, making it more affordable for extended projects. Kent’s rental rates are highly competitive compared to national chains or other areas, thanks to our focus on local customers and fleet efficiency.
Local factors like demand, vehicle availability, and the proximity to key transport hubs all influence pricing, ensuring you get a fair deal tailored to Kent’s unique market. By making informed decisions, you can maximise value and keep costs under control.
