Bristol Van Hire

If you are driving a van that weighs less than three and a half tonnes, then you do not need to worry about anti-congestion laws. The laws prevent light goods vehicles and larger vehicles from entering certain parts of the city centre. However, since vans are smaller than three and a half tonnes, there should be no concerns about congestion charges or laws preventing you from driving wherever with your Bristol van hire.

You do not need to worry if you need to drop your van off but are in a hurry, as the brands listed through KAYAK provide drop-off stations for your convenience. Make sure to enquire as to where the relevant drop-off station might be when you first hire your van. Your hire provider should either give you a map or an address where you can return your car.

If you plan on hiring a van in Bristol, you will need to provide your existing driver’s licence, or an English copy with your International Driver’s Permit. If you have a European Union licence with the EU symbol on it, then you do not need an International Driver’s Permit. You will also need evidence of third party insurance, as well as a valid ID. Do bear in mind that drivers need to be over the age of 18 to hire a car and that most customers under 25 will receive a young driver surcharge. You can generally hire a vehicle with either a debit or credit card; although, payment is usually expected up front.

KAYAK compares van hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.
