Refrigerated Van Hire

Our Mercedes refrigerated vans maintain optimal temperatures for transporting perishable goods. With single and dual compartment options, these vehicles ensure food safety during deliveries to restaurants, catering events, and retail outlets. The temperature-controlled environment preserves product quality while tail lift accessibility simplifies loading and unloading operations.

Garment Van Hire

Specially designed transit vans with multi-height garment rails protect clothing during transportation. These vehicles maintain garment condition for fashion deliveries, theatre costume transfers, and wedding dress distribution. The secure interior prevents movement damage while maximizing hanging space efficiency for commercial and private clients.

Spacious Luton vans with hydraulic tail lifts facilitate furniture removals and exhibition equipment transportation. Load locks and shoring poles secure cargo during transit while the elevated cargo area protects items from road debris. Ideal for house moves, commercial deliveries, and event logistics requiring heavy item handling.

From last-minute deliveries to vehicle replacement during breakdowns, our quick turnaround service provides immediate access to specialist vehicles without long-term commitments.

Very professional & friendly customer service, first time using this company and certainly will use it again. After having a horrible experience at practical van hire in Slough, Cole hire really puts that filthy place to shame. I would recommend anyone looking for a van that wants the best service to come here and get one. Even if thats a few miles from where you live. You will not be disappointed.

I was able to get a van here at very short notice after trying several better known (and more expensive) companies. The van was hired for a house move - There were no tail lift Lutons available anywhere at such short notice but in the end the side door on the mid-sized high-top van I hired here was perhaps the more useful feature. I used a sturdy board as ramp and bought a 40 sack trolley from Screwfix to shift and load the heavier items; money well spent - buy or rent one if you value your back! The van came immaculately clean, the staff at Cole hire were helpful and friendly - No issues at

I recently hired a Luton van from here and found the service both friendly and welcoming. Great service and reasonably priced. Very helpful staff from Kesh on the front desk to the gentleman preparing the vehicles to go out.

First time using Cole Hire and found the whole process really easy and hassle-free. Booking on-line was simple and collection was made really easy by Kesh. The vehicle was virtually new and thoroughly clean inside and out. Got the van back just at closing time but kesh was there to take it back. I even forgot to take my drinks bottle from the cab and he was about to phone me the next day to remind me. Great service and won't hesitate to use them again. Fully recommend using these guys.
