Vehicle Hire Options for UK Businesses
Vehicle Hire Built Around How You Operate
Different businesses require different vehicle types depending on how they operate. From day-to-day deliveries to project-based work and specialist roles, vehicle requirements vary by size, payload, and configuration.
Unified Vehicle Hire helps businesses access suitable vehicle hire options through a trusted network of independent UK suppliers. Rather than listing prices or fixed stock, we match your requirements to suppliers best placed to support your operation.
Vehicles can be hired on a flexible rolling basis or for longer-term use, depending on your needs. Availability varies by region, hire type, and supplier capability.
Small Van
Compact and easy to manoeuvre, small vans are ideal for light deliveries, urban work, and businesses requiring a practical vehicle with minimal footprint.
Commonly used by sole traders, couriers, and service-based businesses.
Medium Van
Medium vans offer increased load space while remaining suitable for everyday business use.
Often used for multi-drop deliveries, trade work, and growing operations requiring flexibility.
Large / LWB Van
Designed for businesses transporting larger loads or equipment, large vans provide increased cargo capacity without moving into specialist vehicle categories.
Suitable for logistics, trades, and contract-based work.
Extra-Long Wheelbase (XLWB) Van
XLWB vans provide maximum load length for businesses with high-volume or bulky transport requirements.
Typically used where payload and internal space are prioritised over manoeuvrability.
Crew Van
Crew vans combine passenger seating with load space, making them suitable for teams travelling to site with tools or equipment.
Commonly used by construction, utilities, and project-based businesses.
Tipper
Tippers are designed for transporting loose materials such as aggregates, waste, or equipment.
Frequently used by trades, construction, and landscaping businesses.
Dropside
Dropside vehicles allow easy access to the load area from multiple sides, making them suitable for loading and unloading bulky or irregular items.
Often used alongside tippers for trade and site-based work.
Luton Van (Tail Lift)
Luton vans offer a box-style body with increased cubic capacity, often paired with a tail lift for ease of loading.
Used for furniture transport, removals, and large or fragile items.
4×4 Pick-Up
4×4 pick-ups provide off-road capability combined with load-carrying flexibility.
Suitable for rural, utility, and site-based operations requiring traction and durability.
