Long-Term Van Rental London

Businesses and self-employed tradespeople sometimes need a van for weeks or months at a time. Long-term van rental gives consistent access to a vehicle without the capital cost of buying one outright. It can also cost considerably less than renewing a series of short-term bookings across the same period.

Why Hire a Vehicle Long-Term in London?

No need to buy: A long-term hire gives you a vehicle to use for months without the upfront cost that comes with ownership.

Reliable transport for long journeys: Families needing a dependable car for an extended period, such as while a personal vehicle is off the road, get consistent access without owning a second car.

Long business trips: Consultants, contractors and businesses working away from their base for weeks at a time can hire a vehicle for the length of the project rather than a series of shorter bookings.

Temporary relocation: A move to London for a work assignment or a fixed-term contract is easier to manage with a vehicle hired for the length of the stay rather than committing to ownership.

FAQs

  • What's the longest period I can hire a car for?

    Long-term vehicle hire through Fairview runs from 28 days upward, with terms of three, six and twelve months available. There is no fixed maximum, so the length of hire is set around what your situation calls for.

  • How old do I need to be to hire a car?

    Drivers need to be between 23 and 75 years old to hire with Fairview, and must have held a full driving licence for at least two years. The same requirements apply to any additional driver added to the booking. Full details are on our vehicle hire requirements page.

  • What is my mileage allowance?

    Standard hire includes 250 miles per day, though many long-term hirers add an unlimited mileage package given how quickly a daily limit adds up across weeks or months. Without this add-on, mileage beyond the standard allowance is charged at £0.40 per mile.

  • I am a non-UK resident, can I rent?

    Yes, non-UK residents can hire through Fairview. EU and EEA licences are accepted without extra paperwork. American, Australian and Canadian licences are accepted as long as they are valid, in English and include a photograph. If your licence is not in English or uses a non-Roman script, you will need an International Driving Permit or a certified translation alongside it. All international hirers must still meet the standard age and licence-holding requirements and bring a valid passport.

  • Is insurance included?

    Yes, third-party liability insurance is included as standard. Additional cover is available, including a Collision Damage Waiver that reduces your excess to £500, and Premium Protection that reduces it further to £100 per incident.

  • How much does it cost to hire a car for 3 months?

    The cost of a three-month hire depends on the vehicle category and any add-ons such as unlimited mileage or extra insurance cover. Long-term rates work out lower per day than renewing short-term bookings across the same period, since the daily rate drops once a hire moves past the 28-day mark.
