Long Wheelbase Van Hire

Long wheelbase vans provide an extended internal load length that is simply not achievable in shorter vehicles, making them the definitive choice when you need to carry long items such as full sheets of plywood or MDF, lengths of timber, copper pipe, steel conduit, window frames, furniture, or any other material or product that exceeds the load length of a standard medium van.

RentWith's long wheelbase van hire fleet includes the Ford Transit LWB, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter LWB, and Renault Master LWB — all available with standard or high-roof configurations. Typical internal load lengths start at around 3.7 metres and extend to over 4.3 metres in high-roof LWB variants, giving you substantially more usable space than any medium van can provide.

For tradespeople, an LWB van is often a non-negotiable requirement. Carrying 2.4-metre lengths of timber or full 8 x 4 boards in a medium van is awkward, impractical, and potentially unsafe. An LWB van eliminates the problem entirely — 8 x 4 sheets of plasterboard, plywood, or chipboard can be loaded flat in a standard LWB high-roof model, saving time, reducing damage risk, and keeping everything properly secured during transport.

Removal work is another natural use case for LWB hire. Sofas, wardrobes, beds, dining tables, and other large furniture items often present difficulties in medium-length vans. An LWB model gives you the extra length to load furniture without disassembly in many cases, speeding up the loading and unloading process and reducing the risk of damage to items that do not respond well to being broken down and reassembled.

Building and construction firms frequently hire LWB vans as site vehicles. The combination of extended load length, generous payload, and the ability to drive on a standard Category B car licence makes an LWB panel van one of the most versatile and cost-effective options available for construction-related transport. Ply-lined interiors help protect the van from the inevitable wear and tear of site work, and roof rack options allow additional materials to be carried externally when the internal load area is full.

Long wheelbase van hire is available daily, weekly, and on a long-term rolling basis. Business accounts are available for commercial customers. To discuss LWB van hire at your nearest location or to check same-day availability, call our team on 0333 210 0162.
