Collecting Your Van

When it comes to collecting your van you must take along some proof of ID for identification and insurance purposes and your driving license (including the paper part to verify and convictions you may have). You will also need copy of the voucher you were emailed after you made your booking. Be sure to also take your credit card as a deposit for the van will need to be taken.

Driving

Driving a van is very similar to driving a large car. The only major difference is that you have no rear view mirror but drivers usually adjust very quickly. Its also worth paying extra care when parking as the length of a van can sometimes be deceptive.

Returning the Van

When it comes to returning your van to the depot ensure that the tank is full of fuel and in a decent condition (it is not expected to be spotlessly clean). Check the glove box and storage areas to ensure you have not left any belongings behind.
