Manchester Van Hire

Quite a longwinded and sluggish service. Not recommended if needing a car or a van fast.

I wanted a car for a weekend so went on the web site for Manchester Car and Van hire.
It would not give a quote so filled in all my details on the form and sent them. It said I would get a quote back, but I didn’t, just got a message saying I had to telephone them to discuss it.
What a stupid system, and waste of time.
Dont bother with the web site just telephone or use Enterprise instead as I did!!.

After having my own van stolen last September, I’ve had to call on Manchester Van Hire a couple of times to fill the void left by my now departed beloved red LDV Convoy. She was called Florence, by the way.
Manchester Van Hire is located right in the centre of Manchester, just behind Picadilly station. Their prices are really reasonable. I’ve taken advantage of their weekend hire deal a couple of times, which I don’t remember being more than £60.
There are a range of vans to hire that are all useful for moving house or gear or whatever. I’ve taken a Ford Transit on a couple of times. On both occasions I didn’t get the newest van in the world. They were covered in bumps and scratches, but they worked just fine and got me where I needed to go without any faff.
They are really strict on documentation, so be certain that you arrive with exact documents they’ve asked you for else they won’t let you drive one of their vans away. They also don’t do overnight returns, so make sure you are available to return the van during their working hours.
Manchester Van Hire are a good solid hire company, I’ve never had any problems with them.
