Van hire has become part of our amenities

A few years ago, commercial vehicle rental was a very unique product in the portfolio of car rental companies, which was very timidly looking for its use among companies, as well as retail clients.

In a very short period of time, van rental in Slovakia has found its market and has become an essential part of business for many companies, but also a common service available to private individuals who take the possibility of renting such a vehicle as a matter of course.

The credit for this goes toAVIS Van Rental, the car rental company with the largest offer of commercial vehicles, which is systematically raising the level of these services.

In short, the van can be used to transport cargo. But what does this mean in practice?

The use of a commercial vehicle is mainly influenced by its characteristics. The essential ones, on the basis of which we choose a suitable vehicle, are the load capacity and the dimensions, i.e. the size of the vehicle. However, we should not forget how the vehicle is equipped.

Modern vans offer a number of systems that can monitor our driving and, in the event of a crisis, prevent a collision. If we are planning a longer drive, comfort, performance and fuel consumption also matter.

AVIS Van Rental offers the widest fleet of vans. You have a choice of seven vehicle sizes, from the smallest pickup category to large vans with a load capacity of 16m3. So you can choose exactly the right vehicle that will comfortably accommodate your load and not be unnecessarily large, which can be a problem when entering tight spaces such as a garage or a parking garage, for example.

Every AVIS Van Rental vehicle has a reinforced floor and lugs to anchor the load, protecting both the load and the vehicle itself. These are features that again open up further possibilities of use. And where else can a van be used?

Use of the van at the house or home

If you are embarking on a project within the home or around the house,

you will often be challenged or even limited by the issue of transporting materials. Today, you don't have to limit yourself and you can book a van online directly at www.avis.sk. Whether you've decided to build a garden house, plant new trees or clear out an old flat or yard, you'll need a commercial vehicle.

Do you need to move or transport new furniture to your home? There's nothing easier. Rent one of our most spacious cars and don't be limited by the size of the furniture and the load you're transporting. With our vans you can drive all over the EU. So when you move abroad, you can make significant savings by hiring a commercial vehicle.

Tip: For more demanding projects, such as remodelling a flat or building a house, you will use a van often. Therefore, find out about special offers in advance and let our call centre specialists quote for a longer rental period. A monthly rate can be much cheaper than several short rentals.

Carry vehicles in a van? Why not?

Motorbikes, go-karts, or small vehicles and mobile coffee stands have become one of the most frequently transported loads in our vans.

If you like to take motorcycle trips to interesting destinations, you know there's nothing more annoying than a challenging highway transfer. Why not load your motorbikes into one of the best-equipped utility vehicles that will pamper you all the way and take a comfortable and stress-free ride with your friends to an Alpine pass, where you can enjoy your machines together?

Are you a company that offers the sale of coffee or another product through mobile stands or small vehicles (Piaggio), but it is too difficult to get your stands to festivals or closer to customers on your own? Yes, these types of vehicles can also be transported in vans, provided all safety criteria are met.

Tip: If you run, or are about to start a karting or moto racing team, you can use stock weekend rentals to transport your racing gear. The whole kart will fit comfortably into a smaller Mercedes Vito, which you can easily fit into any garage.

Transport bulky and heavy loads over long distances

Have you bought a new machine for your company, do you need to transport a piano or other bulky or heavy loads? All of our vehicles are equipped to the highest standards and feature the latest equipment in terms of safety and comfort, making them perfect for long and difficult journeys. Our largest Iveco Daily van offers a capacity of 16m3. The heavyweight champions are the L2H2 vans, which can easily carry a 1350kg heavy load.

Can a commercial vehicle be used for anything other than transporting cargo?

Our clients are creative and the possibility of easily securing this type of vehicle has opened the way to new ways of using our cars. Here are some answers to how some of our clients have used our van:

Eduard: " My girlfriend and I have been thinking about renting a camper van for a long time. Well, since I often rent vans from AVIS through the company, I thought we could sleep in the van. Camping in the van was amazing and especially at a fraction of the cost of renting a camper van."

Peter: "I needed to completely clear out all the tools and materials from the whole site for a day during the house build. I rented a van and stored the stuff in it. It was the easiest solution at the time."

Juraj: "We borrow the van regularly for the company. We use it as a mobile stand to sell our products. When we added up all the costs, we realised that it didn't make economic sense to buy our own van. The coronacrisis proved that it was a good decision."
