Why automatic?
Easier Stop-Start Driving Without Manual Gear Changes
An automatic van can be a practical choice if you normally drive an automatic car or prefer not to manage a clutch and manual gearbox in busy traffic. The important first step is still to pick the correct van size for your load, then confirm an automatic version is available.
- No clutch pedal or manual gear changes
- Simpler stop-start driving in London traffic
- Useful if you normally drive an automatic car
- Automatic options across several practical van sizes

What to Check Before Hiring an Automatic Van
Automatic availability
Automatic gearboxes are available on selected vehicles, so confirm the gearbox for your exact dates before collection.
Driver eligibility
The current automatic-capable van pages require a full Category B licence, a minimum driver age of 23 and at least two years of licence history.
Choose the right size
Do not choose a van only because it is automatic. Match the load volume and payload to what you actually need to move.
Check the final price
The automatic gearbox charge is added to the base hire rate. Review the final booking total, deposits and hire terms before confirming.
