How much does it cost to hire a van?
There are three main costs that can be associated with hiring a van. These are daily hire rate, excess reduction & milage/kilometre charges.
Daily Hire Rate
The daily hire rate refers to the cost of hiring the van itself for a 24 hour period. Typically the daily hire rate is more expensive in the weekends and lower mid-week - this is because there is significantly more demand for van hire on the weekends than during the week.
For u-save, you can see our base daily rental prices for van hire are listed above, however please note these are subject to change. Our van hire rates are generally higher than the prices listed in the weekends (depending on demand for that specific weekend. If you book with us midweek, you'll enjoy a 15% discount on the rates above!
Excess Reduction
All van hire providers will offer a base level of insurance which limits your liability for damage caused to the truck during your hire period to a set amount. You may additionally opt to reduce your excess buy paying for excess reduction cover.
At u-save, we offer two excess reduction options. For an additional $65 per day, your excess can be reduced to $0 (vs $3,500) with no security bond required. Alternatively, you can reduce your liability to $500 ($500 security bond required) for an additional $45 per day.
Kilometre Charges
Many van hire providers also charge a fee per kilometre to help cover the Road User Charges & maintenance required for vans.
At u-save, our rental vans are Petrol and therefore kilometre charges are included as part of your daily hire rate.
