Our journey from Ace Rent A Van
to Pace Van Hire
We’ve been part of the local community since the 1950s, proudly operating as a third-generation family business.

Our low emission
van hire
With London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) now covering all areas within the North and South Circular roads, your journey will likely enter the chargeable zone. To help you avoid the daily £12.50 charge, we offer a selection of low-emission vans that meet Euro 6 standards. These vehicles are designed to produce fewer harmful emissions, helping to improve air quality across the capital while saving you money on extra charges.
Although the hire cost for our low-emission vans remains the same as standard models, please note that a higher insurance excess and a deposit will be required at the time of booking. This option is ideal for those who want to travel through ULEZ areas without added costs, all while driving a cleaner, more environmentally friendly vehicle.
