Short Term Van Hire & Weekly Van Rental in Halifax
Need a van for temporary business cover, a short contract, trade project or moving job? Hire from a minimum of 7 days, extend subject to availability and collect from our Halifax / Queensbury depot at HX3 7TG.
Short Term Van Hire from 7 days
Our short term van hire is designed for people and businesses that need a commercial vehicle temporarily without committing to a longer agreement. It can suit temporary business cover, seasonal workloads, short projects, replacement vehicle requirements and moving jobs.
Choose the vehicle around what you actually need to carry. Small vans work well for tools and lighter loads, medium vans provide useful everyday capacity, larger LWB vans suit bulkier items and Luton-style vehicles can provide additional space for larger moves.
The minimum hire period is 7 days. If the job continues, contact us as early as possible and we can discuss extending the hire subject to vehicle availability.
Vehicles are serviced and prepared for collection, with maintenance and 24/7 breakdown and recovery support available as part of appropriate hire arrangements.
If a temporary requirement becomes ongoing and you need the van for several weeks or months, see our dedicated long term van hire service for monthly rental, longer-term pricing and maintained options.
Vehicles are collected and returned at Spaniard Hall Farm, Brighouse & Denholme Gate Road, Halifax, HX3 7TG. We do not deliver hire vehicles.

Short Term Van Hire FAQs
Quick answers about 7-day hire, weekly van rental, extensions, documents, insurance and collection.
Can I hire a van for one week?
Can I hire a van for less than 7 days?
No. Queensbury Van Hire has a minimum hire period of 7 days. If you only need to use the vehicle for part of that period, the booking would still be based on the minimum 7-day hire.
What documents do I need to collect a hire van?
Documentation requirements can vary by vehicle and agreement. We will confirm the driving licence, identification, address and payment information required when your booking is arranged.
Which van size should I hire?
Small vans suit tools and lighter loads, medium vans cover many everyday business jobs, and large vans provide more space for bulkier items. Browse all vans or tell us what you need to carry and we can help you choose.
Can I use short term van hire for moving house?
Yes. Our minimum 7-day hire can be used for suitable moving requirements. See our moving van hire page for vehicle guidance for boxes, furniture and household loads.
Is insurance included with short term van hire?
Insurance and cover arrangements depend on the vehicle, intended use and hire agreement. We will explain the applicable cover, excess and any other requirements before the booking is confirmed.
Is unlimited mileage available?
Unlimited mileage may be available on selected hire arrangements. Tell us your expected mileage and journey requirements when enquiring so we can confirm the appropriate option.
Can I extend my weekly van hire?
Extensions can be discussed subject to vehicle availability and the existing hire agreement. Contact us as early as possible if you think you will need the vehicle beyond the original return date.
What if I need the van for several months?
If your requirement is expected to last several weeks or months, our long term van hire service may provide a more appropriate arrangement than repeatedly extending short-term bookings.
Where do I collect and return the van?
Collection and return is at Spaniard Hall Farm, Brighouse & Denholme Gate Road, Halifax, HX3 7TG. We do not deliver hire vehicles.
