With certain driving convictions, you already know your chances of hiring a van yourself are slim to none. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then, it is more about getting the hire and less about who is actually holding the wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you&#8217;re bursting at the seams with great mates who&#8217;ll drop everything to come to your aid, you&#8217;ll also know that getting anyone to do anything takes patience, filled rolls, and a lot of free beer. If you have trouble organising such a posse, it&#8217;s time to think about step 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Forget The Hire, Buy A Cheap Van<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This may seem a bit overkill if you&#8217;re only looking to hire a van for a day or 2 &#8211; and it would be. But if you&#8217;re looking for a longer-term hire from a few weeks to a couple of months then it doesn&#8217;t really matter how many penalty points you have on your licence if you actually own the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And just when you thought this couldn&#8217;t get any more awesome, when you&#8217;re finished with the van, sell it. Not only do you get your money back, but you got the hire for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Hire A Local Man &amp; Van<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably your best bet. Your local man and van doesn&#8217;t care about your driving record quite as much as Arnold Clark does and there&#8217;s plenty to choose from locally, regardless of where you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re simply looking to get something shifted from A to B with the least amount of fuss possible, you&#8217;ll find a local man with a van to help. Not only does this service make hiring a van an exceptionally simple process, but you&#8217;ll also be helping out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.falkirkvanhire.com\/articles\/business-to-start-van-no-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small business<\/a> owner which is always a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find a man and a van is probably cheaper than self-drive hire too. There are no forms to fill out, no chunky deposits to be left, no separate fuel charges, and he brings the van to you. So the question really is, why wouldn&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"div-40px\"><\/div>\n\n<p>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- FVH Blog Display Ads -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9757226481979701\" data-ad-slot=\"1023228827\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Hire Companies Refuse To Hire For Driving Convictions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there&#8217;s nothing quite like stating the obvious but if you&#8217;re a general liability behind the wheel, then nobody will want to hand you one of their vehicles. As they don&#8217;t know you personally, they&#8217;ll judge you on your driving record and unfortunately, your driving record comes in the form of penalty points, endorsements and driving convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have too many of one or the other, then it&#8217;s option 1, 2, or 3, for you I&#8217;m afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it&#8217;s not really the hire company themselves that refuses you, it&#8217;s actually a condition of their insurance cover. If they were to offer you the hire of a van, or car, whatever, when you didn&#8217;t meet the criteria for insurance cover, they would effectively be setting you free in an uninsured motor vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have penalty points or driving convictions and you&#8217;re still not sure whether or not you will be able to hire a van, car, or any other motor vehicle, simply give your local hire company a call and ask. They can only say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"div-40px\"><\/div>\n\n<p>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- FVH Blog Display Ads -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9757226481979701\" data-ad-slot=\"1023228827\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have asked yourself, can I hire a van with penalty points on my licence?
