The easy way to rent a van
Whether you're looking for a moving van to hire, doing some DIY or need a van for your latest job, Zipcar has the vehicles that you need to get it done. If you need a van for a day, or just an hour, take your pick from hundreds of vans near you, and drive from just £10/hour! Book vans and cars up to a year in advance, or whenever you need them, all with our handy app. Fuel, insurance and Congestion Charge included. And we're ULEZ compliant to boot!
If you're a business looking to use our vans or cars join Zipcar for Business for reduced rates, account management support and more.
How Zipcar works
Join online, and once you’re a member you’ll have access to vans, cars and luxury vehicles too. There's two types of journeys: get there and back in a van or car with Roundtrip, or take a one-way car with Zipcar Flex. Just download the app, reserve and drive.
Join Zipcar
Apply online with a picture of your driving licence at the ready. As soon as you’re approved, you’re good to go.
Book and drive
Use our app to book vans or cars by the minute, hour or day - whenever you need them. Choose from a Roundtrip car or van, or a one-way Flex car.
Return
When you’re done, return your Roundtrip vehicle to the same dedicated bay you got it from. Pop the keys in the glovebox and lock via the app.
Hire a Van Wherever You Are in London, Bristol, Oxford or Cambridge

Hire a Van for a Day or by the Hour
Zipcar not only enables you to rent a van for a day, but also offers affordable hourly van hire, 24/7 whenever you need. Whether your moving house, doing some DIY, buying new furniture, doing deliveries, on a photoshoot or want to take your bikes out of town for the day, the opportunites are endless.
Are there any restrictions on where the vans can go?
It's a member’s responsibility to always obey the Highway Code when driving any of our vehicles, which includes any signage warning against restrictions on vehicle dimensions or weight. The Gross Vehicle Weight of our VW Transporters is 2.8 tonnes and the dimensions of the full vehicle are 489cm (L) x 224.2cm (W) x 196.9cm (H). As the vehicles weight is over 2 tonnes, it is restricted from travelling through some areas, most notably the Rotherhithe Tunnel in London, and failure to obey any restrictions will result in a Penalty Charge Notice.”
