Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Leicester

  • The two closest airports to Leicester are East Midlands Airport (EMA) and Birmingham Airport (BHX). After you've gone through the Arrivals area at Birmingham Airport, there will be signs directing you to the Car Rental Area, which is a short walk from the terminal. Some companies, including Enterprise, offer cargo van hire at this location. At East Midlands Airport, you can find car hire services in the terminal. However, van hire is not as readily available here, and you may not be able to find a cargo van. If you need a van from the start of your trip, Birmingham Airport will usually be a more reliable option.
  • Some Leicester van hire companies, such as Drivalia, may impose a daily mileage limit on some vehicles. This is usually around 100 miles per day. If you're just driving your van around Leicester, you usually won't need to worry about this limit, but it's important to bear in mind when you're planning on making trips between cities. If you're picking your vehicle up at the airport, the drive from Birmingham Airport to Leicester is about 37 miles, while East Midlands Airport is roughly 20 miles from Leicester. Each mile over the limit generally costs around £0.20.
  • Leicester has one of the busiest rush hours in the UK, and manoeuvring a van through rush hour traffic can be particularly difficult. Try to avoid driving your van between 07:00 and 09:00 and between 17:00 and 20:00. This is particularly true on the M1, Narborough Road and other roads in the city centre.
  • While Leicester doesn't have a Low Emission or Clean Air Zone, it does have a number of Bus Only lanes and even a few Bus Only roads, as well as some pedestrian-only roads. While you may see taxis driving down these lanes and roads, they are usually closed to all other traffic. Sometimes, delivery vehicles are permitted to enter, so don't trust that you can drive down a road just because you see another van driving down.

FAQs About Hiring a Cargo Van in Leicester

  • Where are the best places to park in Leicester?

    There are plenty of places to park in Leicester, though finding an indoor car park that a van can fit through may be tricky. The Leicester Abbey Street Car Park has a height limit of 2.05 metres, which may be high enough for some smaller vans. It generally costs £1.95 per hour. There are a number of Park & Ride Car Parks that are usually outdoors, which may also be useful if you want to switch from your van to public transport.

  • What is the most reliable vehicle for Leicester van hire?

    Some Leicester van hire companies can offer Ford Transits, one of the most popular and reliable van models. This model is regularly available at Birmingham Airport. Another good option is the Vauxhall Vivaro, which is frequently available at the Loughborough Road Enterprise offices, near Belgrave Hall. Ford Transits can generally carry more than the Vauxhall Vivaro, but some drivers may prefer the Vivaro's accessible cargo.

  • Which Leicester van hire company is best?

    Enterprise is the main company offering van hire in Leicester. They have offices on Loughborough Road in Belgrave, a suburb just outside Leicester's city centre. They can often offer a range of different van models and types, including commercial cargo vans and people movers. If you've arrived at Leicester via public transport, you can take the 127 Bus from St. Margaret's to Victoria Road North. From here, it's a short walk across Belgrave Avenue to the Enterprise office. Their vehicles are usually on-site at the car park in front of the office. Booking ahead of time is the best way to ensure your preferred van is available.

  • How does KAYAK find such low cargo van hire prices?

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

Gordon, May 2024

KAYAK
The car ran ok & was reliable. However it was a car quite definitely below the level we had requested & paid for. We believe we were given this car, kept waiting an incredibly long time & treated averagely due to the desk woman being overworked & us booking the car through a third party.
