Construction Vehicle Hire In London

Our construction-friendly fleet includes large panel vans, Luton vans with optional tail lifts, crew vans, pick-up trucks and tipper trucks.

Whether you need a van for daily material runs or a tipper for waste removal and deliveries of loose materials, we have something to suit. Most trade and construction requirements across London and the South East are completely covered in our range.

Yes, we offer flexible hire periods to suit how construction work actually runs. You can hire by the day for a one-off job. By the week for a short contract. On a longer-term basis from 28 days upwards for ongoing projects.

Long-term hire is often more cost-effective than repeated short-term bookings and removes the hassle of re-booking each time. Contact us to discuss the right arrangement for your project timeline.

For vans, Lutons, crew vans and pick-up trucks, a standard full UK car licence (category B) is all you need. Tipper trucks in our fleet vary, so it’s worth checking the specific vehicle’s weight rating before you book.

Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes require a category C licence. If you’re not sure which licence category applies to the vehicle you need, give us a call and we’ll confirm before you commit.

Yes, we’re well set up for multiple vehicle hire for construction sites. If your site needs a tipper truck alongside a panel van, you can arrange both through Fairview.

Larger contractors managing multiple teams across different sites can also discuss account arrangements with us directly. It’s simpler and more cost-effective to manage everything through one hire company rather than juggling multiple suppliers.

Our hire vehicles come with standard third-party insurance as a minimum. You can also take out additional cover options at the time of booking. This reduces or eliminates the excess in the event of damage.

If you’re hiring on behalf of a business, check whether your existing fleet or trade insurance policy covers hired-in vehicles. Some do. We’d recommend clarifying this before collection, so you know exactly where you stand on-site.

To choose the right vehicle for your construction project, start with two questions:

• What are you carrying?
• How much are you carrying?

A panel van handles tools and bagged materials well. A Luton gives you more volume for bulkier or taller loads. A tipper suits loose materials and site waste. A crew van works when you need to move people and kit in one trip. If you’re still not sure, our team is happy to talk through your project and make a practical recommendation.

The vehicle itself doesn’t require a special permit simply because it’s hired, but there are broader considerations depending on your project.

If you’re stopping or loading on a red route or in a restricted zone, you may need a Temporary Traffic Management or skips/materials licence.

You can acquire this from the local authority or Transport for London (TFL).

Congestion Charge and ULEZ compliance are also your responsibility as the driver. We’d recommend checking requirements with your site manager or the relevant local authority before the job starts.

Yes, the Fairview Vehicle Hire app lets you book, view and manage your hire entirely from your phone. It’s particularly handy for busy tradespeople and site managers who don’t want to be tied to a desk.
