Van Hire for Edinburgh, Twenty-Five Minutes from the City Bypass
Trusted by Industry Leaders:
Van Hire in Edinburgh from Our Livingston Depot
Euro Hire Drive is twenty-five minutes west of Edinburgh at Houstoun Industrial Estate in Livingston: A71 from Hermiston Gait, or the M8 from junction 1 at the bypass to junction 3. For a lot of the city, that is quicker than crossing town to a depot on the other side, and it means you can choose from a full fleet rather than whatever is left on an airport forecourt. Sighthill, Wester Hailes, Corstorphine, South Gyle, Edinburgh Park, Currie, Balerno and Ratho are all within twenty minutes.
The fleet runs from small Peugeot Partners to Transit Customs, long-wheelbase Crafters and Sprinters, Luton box vans with a tail lift, crew vans, refrigerated vans and 3.5 tonne tippers and dropsides. Hire by the day, the week or the month, or on flexi and long term terms with delivery into Edinburgh for longer hires.

What people in Edinburgh hire vans for
- Flat moves in tenement streets, where a Transit Custom fits the parking and a Luton with tail lift handles the heavy pieces from a ground-floor door.
- Student moves to and from the University of Edinburgh, Napier and Heriot-Watt in September and June.
- Festival and event logistics in August, when the city’s own vans are booked out.
- Trades on the west side and around the bypass who need a second van for a contract.
- Moves between Edinburgh and West Lothian, Fife or Glasgow, collecting from us on the way.
Edinburgh van hire questions
Do I need a special licence to hire a van in Edinburgh?
No. A standard UK category B car licence covers every van we hire, because all of them are under 3.5 tonnes. Bring your photocard licence and a DVLA licence check code when you collect.
Is there a deposit?
Yes. A refundable security deposit is held on a card at collection and released after the van comes back. The amount depends on the vehicle, and we confirm it when you enquire.
Can you deliver the van to me in Edinburgh?
For hires of three days or more, yes: delivery and collection anywhere in Edinburgh can be arranged. For a single day, most Edinburgh customers collect from Livingston, twenty-five minutes from the bypass.
Can I hire a van for just one day?
Yes. Daily hire is our most common booking. If the job runs over, call us and we can usually extend the hire over the phone.
Can I leave my car at your depot while I have the van?
Yes. There is parking on site at Grange Road, so you can drive out, swap into the van, and collect your car when you bring the van back.
