Bolton’s trades and small businesses are the backbone of our town. Builders, electricians, decorators, plumbers, caterers, and delivery drivers keep things running every single day. They need vans that work as hard as they do. That’s where U-Drive Van Hire Bolton comes in.
We’ve supported local trades since 1999, offering dependable van hire and straightforward service from our base in Nelson Mill, Gaskell Street, Bolton. We’re a family-run business that believes in fair prices, personal service, and vans you can rely on.
Vans Built for Trade and Business Use
Every trade has different needs, so our fleet includes a range of options. Short wheelbase (SWB) vans are great for smaller jobs around town. Long wheelbase (LWB) vans offer more space for tools, ladders, and materials. Luton vans with tail lifts are ideal for heavier loads or bigger moves.
Each van is clean, modern, and regularly maintained, so you can focus on your work instead of worrying about reliability. When you collect a van from U-Drive, you can be confident it’s ready to perform.
Flexible Hire That Fits Your Schedule
No two working weeks are the same. Some jobs run long; others need quick turnarounds. That’s why U-Drive offers daily, weekend, and longer-term van hire. You can rent what you need, when you need it, without long contracts or complicated terms.
Our booking process is simple and efficient. We get you on the road quickly with the right van for the job. If you ever have questions or need advice, our friendly Bolton-based team is always happy to help.
Fair Prices and No Hidden Fees
We keep things transparent from the start. The price we quote is the price you pay — no hidden extras. Every hire includes insurance and breakdown cover, so you’re protected while you work.
At U-Drive, we know how important clear costs are to local businesses. You won’t find confusing add-ons or surprise charges when you return the van. Just straightforward, honest hire that helps you manage your budget.
Helping Bolton’s Trades Stay Productive
Reliable transport is vital for trades and small businesses. Over the years, we’ve helped countless local firms keep working, even when their own vans were off the road. Builders use our vans to move materials between sites. Plumbers and electricians hire when they need extra capacity. Gardeners and event planners rely on us for seasonal work and one-off jobs.
We also support local residents and trades with tip runs and clear-outs. If you need to use the local recycling centre, we’ll even help you with the paperwork for the required permit.
Our flexible options mean you can adapt quickly when business picks up — without taking on extra long-term costs.
Keeping Standards High
Every van in our fleet is inspected and maintained to high standards. We know that downtime costs money, so we take reliability seriously. Before any van leaves the yard, it’s checked to make sure it’s ready for work.
Regular maintenance and careful servicing keep our vehicles performing efficiently. When you pick up a van, you can trust that it’s in excellent condition — clean, safe, and road-ready.
A Local Business Supporting Local People
Because we’re based in Bolton, we understand the challenges local businesses face. We know the roads, the customers, and the daily demands of trade work. That local knowledge helps us provide better advice and more responsive service.
We’re not a national chain or an automated system — you’ll always speak to a real person who wants to help you get the right vehicle. Our customers often tell us that our personal touch makes all the difference.
We value every hire, whether it’s a one-day job or a long-term partnership. Many of our trade customers have been with us for years because they trust us to keep their work moving.
Simple, Stress-Free Service
We’ve built our reputation on reliability and convenience. You can book online, by phone, or by visiting us directly at Nelson Mill. We’ll prepare your van so you can collect it and head straight to work.
If you need to start early, we offer early morning pick-ups to help you make the most of your day. And because everything is handled locally, you can expect quick decisions and a flexible approach.
Our goal is simple — make van hire easy, honest, and efficient for every customer.
