Truck Hire Rhondda

What SDVH offers in Rhondda

SDVH supplies self-drive trucks to Rhondda customers, each one insured before it leaves us. The range covers several body types: box trucks for enclosed loads, curtain-siders for quick pallet access, tippers for aggregates and soil, and fridge trucks where temperature control matters. Rigid chassis run from 7.5T up to 18T and beyond, so heavier consignments are well within scope. Book for a day, a fortnight or anything between; weekly rates are on offer for extended projects. Tell us whether you'd rather collect or have the vehicle delivered, and we'll fit the handover around your schedule.

Choosing the right body and weight

Start with what actually sits on the back. Palletised stock suits a curtain-side; furniture, white goods or tools needing weather protection point to a box body. Loose material is simplest with a tipper, and perishable goods demand a fridge unit. Weight matters just as much, overloading a 7.5T when an 18T would do the job properly wastes a trip, while hiring too large a truck adds running costs for no benefit. If you're unsure, describe the cargo and let the team recommend a category or an equivalent model.

Licences, drivers and paperwork

Check that whoever drives holds the correct entitlement for the gross weight you're booking, and have their licence details to hand when you enquire. We'll need to record named drivers on the agreement. Standard insurance is included in the hire; the excess figure and any optional extras are set out clearly before you commit. If you plan European travel or a one-way drop-off, raise it at the start so the terms can be confirmed in writing.

Booking and getting the keys

A good enquiry saves time all round. Give us your preferred dates, roughly how far you expect to drive, the access constraints at either end and any must-have features. Mileage options and delivery arrangements are confirmed alongside availability, and the exact model is agreed at booking rather than guessed at. From there, collecting the keys or meeting the delivery is straightforward.
