Winchester Van Hire - Open 7 Days a Week
Home > Van Hire > Business Van Hire

A hire van can give a business extra carrying capacity without committing to another permanent vehicle. We offer short-term self-drive SWB, LWB and Luton vans from its Winchester base for deliveries, projects, stock movements and other temporary requirements.

When business van hire makes sense
Temporary extra capacityCover a busy period, one-off delivery schedule or short project without adding a permanent vehicle.
Equipment and stockMove tools, stock, exhibition material or equipment when a car is too small.
Office and premises movesUse a larger van for desks, chairs, boxed records and other workplace contents.

Dimensions, payloads and capacities are a guide. If a measurement or capacity is critical to your job, please confirm it with Alco before booking or loading.

For jobs involving large boxed or bulky loads, the LWB and Luton give significantly more usable volume. If weight is the limiting factor, note that the LWB currently has the highest published payload of the three at 1,192kg.

Costs, mileage and VAT invoices

Standard daily hires include 200 miles per day and we charge no deposit. The rental agreement shows the hire charges; the final VAT invoice is produced after the hire so that any additional charges can be included. If you need a VAT invoice sooner or another copy, contact Alco and quote the booking reference.

For repeated or more complex requirements, contact us rather than assuming a standard online booking is the best fit.

Operating area and commercial use

Alco generally restricts vehicles to a 100-mile radius of its Winchester office so practical support remains possible. If a business journey needs to go beyond that normal area, contact Alco before booking.

Commercial vehicle rules can depend on how a vehicle is being used. The hirer and business remain responsible for making sure the proposed operation is lawful and appropriate.

Business van-hire FAQs
Can a business get a VAT invoice?

Yes. The final VAT invoice is produced after the hire has ended so any additional charges can be included.

Which Alco van has the highest payload?

The current published payloads are 869kg for the SWB, 1,192kg for the LWB and 1,150kg for the Luton. The LWB therefore has the highest published payload of the three.

Can I hire for an office move?

Yes, subject to normal booking and insurance requirements. See the office move van hire page for planning advice.

Can a van be taken more than 100 miles from Winchester?

Alco generally restricts vehicles to a 100-mile radius. Contact Alco before booking if your intended journey goes beyond that area.
