Why choose a
long-wheelbase van?
A long-wheelbase van offers the extra space you need to complete most jobs in a single trip. The difference in capacity between a long and short-wheelbase van is significant; you can typically fit up to five large items of furniture in the back of a long-wheelbase van, compared to just two in a smaller model. This makes it a far better fit for house moves, trade work, or transporting bulky goods. All our long wheelbase vans are high-top models, allowing you to stand upright while loading, organising, or unloading. Thanks to the generous internal long wheelbase dimensions, these vans are ideal for carrying 3-metre building materials and navigating busy streets with ease.
All our vans are ULEZ-compliant, well-maintained, and ready to handle your load. For trusted London LWB van rental, we’ve got you covered. If you’re interested in hiring a long-wheelbase van in Croydon or London, call 020 7277 9853 today to secure your booking.
