Getting around London or Essex can be tricky. With busy roads, tight parking spots, and the rising costs of owning a vehicle, hiring often makes the most sense. That’s where 1st City Van Hire comes in. We help people and businesses get the right vehicle for the job, without the stress or long-term costs typically involved. Rely on our self-drive minibus hire in London to have a memorable travel experience.
Whether it’s a weekend trip, a delivery run, or a move across town, we have a fleet of vans, minibusses, and small trucks ready when you are.
Self-Drive Minibus Hire
When you are traveling in a group, taking public transport or several cars can quickly become a pain. When you book our self-drive minibus hire, you decide when to leave and where to stop. You and your friends can simply sit back and enjoy the drive.
Some of the most common ways that our vans are used are for weekend trips with families, school trips, company events, and runs to and from the airport. It’s a simple idea that’s gaining momentum: you drive, you decide.
Each vehicle is clean, comfortable, and easy to handle, even if you’re not used to driving bigger models. Booking is quick. Simply reserve online or call us, collect the keys, and you’re good to go. If you have things to carry around, you can opt for our small truck hire in Essex, London and the surrounding areas. If you’re planning a group outing, give us a shout. We can help you pick the right size and hire length. You won’t have to worry about added extras you don’t need; we keep things straightforward.
Space, Comfort, and Simplicity
Our self-drive minibus hire is used for just about everything from day trips and sporting events to weddings and festivals. Our vehicles have room for passengers and bags, yet still drive smoothly through London’s tighter roads.
If you are not sure which one to book, allow us to walk you through your options before you set off. It’s all about getting the right fit for your journey, not upselling you on something bigger than you need.
Small Truck Hire
We also offer small truck hire to people and businesses in the area. This is great for moving heavy things or making work deliveries. These trucks are great for moving things that won’t fit in a regular van, like event sets or equipment.
We have a good mix of models: those compact enough for city driving but strong enough for trade use. Builders, shop owners, and local delivery drivers use them all the time. They’re reliable, well-maintained, and ready for daily use.
A small truck can be rented for one day, one week, or longer. We can get you the right size and plan if you tell us what you need it for.
Why Hiring Beats Owning
Owning a van or truck isn’t always worth it anymore. Insurance, MOTs, parking costs, and upkeep can eat away at your budget, especially if you only use the vehicle once in a while. Hiring makes things easier. You get a vehicle that’s already checked, clean, and ready to go.
Here at 1st City Van Hire, we take care of all the repairs and upkeep, so you don’t have to. You just have to rent it, use it, and then return it.
For business owners, it keeps costs predictable while for personal use, it saves you from paying for something that sits idle most of the time.
