LWB means long wheelbase. These are larger panel vans with greater load length and cargo volume than small or medium vans, making them suitable for longer materials, bulky equipment, stock and higher-volume commercial loads.

Need more load length and cargo space for a bigger job? Hire a large or LWB van for bulky stock, long materials, equipment and higher-volume commercial loads, with typical prices from £167–£234 + VAT per week.
Large LWB Van Hire for Bulky Loads, Long Materials & Bigger Jobs
A large van, commonly described as an LWB or long wheelbase van, gives you substantially more enclosed load space than a small or medium van. It is a practical choice when load length, cargo volume or the size of individual items becomes the priority.
Large vans can work well for trades carrying timber, boards, pipework and equipment, businesses moving bulky stock, event and exhibition equipment, furniture collections and other commercial loads that would otherwise require several trips in a smaller vehicle.
The enclosed panel-van body also keeps tools, stock and other loads protected from the weather while providing a lower and more conventional vehicle profile than many box-bodied alternatives.
Our minimum self-drive hire period is 7 days. Large vans typically cost £167–£234 + VAT per week, depending on the individual vehicle, hire period, mileage, specification and availability.
If the requirement is temporary, see our short-term van rental service. If you expect to need an LWB van for several weeks or months, our long term van hire service covers ongoing business requirements, mileage planning and maintained options.
For house moves, furniture and household loads, see our dedicated moving van hire page. If you need a Luton, tail lift, dropside or another specialist body type, compare our specialist vans.
Vehicles are collected and returned at Spaniard Hall Farm, Brighouse & Denholme Gate Road, Halifax, HX3 7TG. We do not deliver hire vehicles.

LWB vans provide generous enclosed cargo space while remaining a conventional panel-van format. When comparing the available vehicles below, consider load length, overall volume, payload requirements and whether access at your collection or delivery points suits a larger vehicle.
If you do not need this much capacity on a regular basis, compare medium van hire. If an LWB panel van is not large or specialist enough for the job, see our Luton, tail-lift and specialist van options.
Vehicle availability, specification, mileage and final weekly price are confirmed when you enquire. Vehicles are collected from HX3 7TG; we do not deliver hire vehicles.
Why Choose an LWB Van?
Large vans give businesses and individuals additional load length and cargo volume without automatically moving to a Luton or other specialist body style.
Is an LWB Van Right for Your Load?
LWB vans are useful for longer trade materials, equipment and bulky items that cannot be loaded comfortably into medium or compact vans. The extra load length can also help keep equipment organised instead of stacking everything into a smaller cargo area.
Businesses moving larger quantities of stock, equipment or customer orders can use the additional cargo volume to reduce repeat journeys and make better use of each trip.
For regular paid courier, parcel delivery or multi-drop work, see our courier van hire service so capacity, mileage and intended use can be considered together.
Vehicles are serviced and prepared for hire, with maintenance and 24/7 breakdown and recovery support available as part of appropriate hire arrangements. We'll confirm the applicable support before collection.

Need an LWB Van for Ongoing Work?
A weekly booking works well when you only need additional load capacity temporarily. If the vehicle becomes part of an ongoing contract, a regular stock route or a longer business requirement, repeatedly extending a short booking may no longer be the most appropriate arrangement.
Our long term van hire service covers monthly and longer vehicle requirements, with packages built around the van, mileage, maintenance needs and expected duration.
If you're still deciding between hire, longer-term rental and leasing, see our van hire and leasing options.
LWB Van or Luton?
Choose an LWB panel van when you want generous enclosed cargo space, conventional rear or side loading and a lower overall body than a box van.
A Luton may be more suitable where the load is especially bulky, a squarer cargo area is useful or tail-lift assistance is required.
Compare Luton, tail-lift, dropside and other body styles on our specialist van hire page.
Large Vans for Business & Trade Work
LWB vans can suit businesses that routinely carry bulky tools, larger equipment, building materials, stock or customer orders that exceed the practical capacity of an MWB vehicle.
The additional space can also be useful when a job would otherwise require several smaller-van journeys, provided the vehicle remains suitable for the roads, parking and loading locations involved.
For construction-specific vehicles such as dropsides, tippers and other site-focused options, see our construction and trade vehicle hire.
Hiring a Large Van for Moving?
An LWB van can provide useful enclosed space for furniture, boxes and household items, particularly where you want to complete a move in fewer journeys.
The right vehicle depends on the amount being moved, the size and shape of the largest items and whether a conventional panel van or box-bodied vehicle will be easier to load.
See our moving van hire service for vehicle guidance specifically for house moves, furniture and other removal requirements.
Large Van Hire FAQs
Quick answers about LWB van sizes, weekly pricing, hire periods, driving requirements, large loads and collection from Halifax.
What is an LWB or large van?
What is a large van best for?
Large vans are useful for bulky stock, trade materials, furniture, equipment, larger collections and business loads where medium vans do not provide enough usable cargo space.
How much does large van hire cost?
Large van hire typically ranges from £167–£234 + VAT per week. The final price depends on the individual vehicle, hire period, mileage, specification, availability and any additional requirements.
What is the minimum large van hire period?
Our minimum self-drive hire period is 7 days. Extensions can be discussed if you need the vehicle for longer, subject to availability and the existing hire agreement.
Can I hire an LWB van for several months?
Yes. If you expect to need a large van for several weeks or months, see our long term van hire service so the vehicle, duration, mileage and maintenance requirements can be considered together.
Do I need a special licence to drive a large van?
Driving entitlement depends on the specific vehicle and its maximum authorised mass. Many hire vans up to 3.5 tonnes can be driven on a standard category B car licence, but we'll confirm the relevant requirement for the individual vehicle before hire.
Are servicing and maintenance included?
Vehicles are serviced and maintained for hire. The exact servicing, maintenance and other support included during your booking can depend on the vehicle and agreement, and we'll confirm this when quoting.
Is 24/7 breakdown and recovery available?
Yes. 24/7 breakdown and recovery support is available as part of appropriate hire arrangements. We'll confirm the applicable support before collection.
Where do I collect the van?
Vehicles are collected and returned at Spaniard Hall Farm, Brighouse & Denholme Gate Road, Halifax, HX3 7TG. We do not deliver hire vehicles.
Are LWB vans suitable for courier and multi-drop work?
They can suit higher-volume delivery work where the routes and access points are appropriate for a larger vehicle. For paid courier, parcel delivery or multi-drop work, see our courier van hire service for guidance on capacity, mileage and intended use.
Should I choose an LWB van or a Luton?
An LWB panel van provides generous enclosed space with conventional van loading and a lower body. A Luton can be more appropriate for very bulky loads, furniture, a squarer cargo area or jobs where a tail lift is useful. See our specialist vans for Luton and tail-lift options.
