Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) when hiring a van or commercial vehicle

Supervan Ltd has a huge range of vans and commercial vehicles available to hire; if you have any specific questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us, but you may find the below FAQs helpful.

What is included in the price of a rental vehicle?

Our hire charges include the vehicle itself, which are all less than three years old and come with air conditioning, power steering, central locking and a CD player as standard, as well as fully comprehensive insurance. In addition, all of our rental vehicles are covered by roadside assistance to ensure your peace of mind.

Your chosen van will also be cleaned and maintained to the highest standard both before and after your hire period as part of our ongoing service.

How old do I have to be to rent a van?

You must be between the age of 25 and 70 in order to hire a van or commercial vehicle under our insurance cover. You must also have held a full UK driving licence for at least two years.

What documents do I need to hire a van with Supervan?

You must produce a full, valid UK driving licence; it must be your original licence as photocopies will not be accepted. If you hold a photocard licence, we will also need your paper counterpart.

Supervan Ltd will also require a minimum of two forms of additional identification, such as your passport, utility bills and/or bank statements and corresponding credit or debit cards.

What deposit will I have to pay?

You will be asked to pay an excess – or deposit – of £650 by credit or debit card. This covers our insurance policy excess and will be the maximum amount you will be required to pay in case of an accident.

This deposit is fully refundable upon safe and undamaged return of the commercial vehicle.

If you hold a full standard UK driving licence, you are entitled to drive any of our vans and commercial up to our 3.5 tonne Luton Van. However, in order to hire Supervan Ltd’s 7.5 tonne Box Lorry, you must have the higher category C1 on your driving licence.
