Why choose a small van?
Small vans are ideal for transporting light loads, such as boxes, bags, and small pieces of furniture. With compact, small van dimensions and car-like handling, they’re easy to drive, making them perfect for urban journeys across London and Croydon.
As an economical van option, they help keep fuel costs low, making them suitable for weekend van booking or short-term use. These ULEZ-compliant vans are also great for those needing a quick and practical solution without the bulk of a larger vehicle.

How many seats are in a small van?
There will be either two or three seats, depending on the model of the small van you hire for your journey. For help or clarification, reach out to our team today!
