What Makes SWB Vans So Popular in Kent
Short wheelbase (SWB) vans are some of the most versatile vehicles you can hire. They’re compact enough to handle town driving and tight parking but still offer a surprising amount of cargo space.
Here’s why so many Kent customers choose SWB vans from Hire2You:
-
Easy to drive and park: Great for urban areas like Chatham, Gillingham, and Sittingbourne.
-
Fuel efficient: Smaller engines mean better mileage, so you save on fuel costs.
-
Plenty of room: Perfect for tools, appliances, small furniture, or trade materials.
-
Flexible use: Ideal for trades, small deliveries, or DIY moves.
Our SWB vans are clean, modern, and fully serviced before each hire. They’re comfortable to drive and equipped with everything you need for a safe, smooth journey.
Our Short Wheelbase Vans
We’ve kept our SWB range simple. No need for a huge list, just good vans that work.
-
Peugeot Expert: Drives nice and smooth, great fuel economy, and fits pretty much anywhere.
-
Vauxhall Vivaro: A bit chunkier but loads of space in the back. Ideal for tradespeople who carry a fair bit of gear.
Both are popular because they’re easy to load and handle well on Kent’s mix of town and country roads. They’re tough enough for work and comfy enough for longer drives too.
Perfect for Trades and Everyday Jobs
Most of our SWB customers are builders, decorators, plumbers, and delivery drivers. A lot of them prefer smaller vans because they’re easier to park and more fuel-efficient for day-to-day jobs.
But it’s not just for work. We get plenty of people hiring them for personal use too, moving furniture, picking up new bits for the house, or helping family move things around. The load space is generous without feeling over the top.
Honestly, once you’ve hired one, you’ll understand why people keep coming back for them.
Our Prices – Simple and Fair
We don’t do hidden extras or silly add-ons. Our short wheelbase vans start from £49 a day, and that’s the full price you’ll see when you book.
You can rent for a day, a week, or longer if you need. We’ll always do our best to work around what suits you. And if you’re not sure how long you’ll need it, just give us a call, we’ll help figure it out.
