SDVH supplies self-drive trucks for work and private jobs around Y Felinheli, from 7.5 tonne chassis to larger 18-tonne options, each maintained and insured before it leaves us.
Choosing the right truck body
Freight decides the bodywork. Box trucks give palletised goods a dry, lockable space; curtainsiders let forklifts load from the side when a warehouse or yard demands it. Flatbeds handle awkward, weather-tolerant loads such as plant and timber, while a tipper earns its keep on loose aggregates and soil. Where cargo must stay cold, fridge trucks hold the temperature for the duration of the run. Gross ratings run from 7.5T chassis up to 18T, so the step from a local delivery to a heavier contract load is covered by the same fleet.
How the rental works
Hires can be arranged for a week or on extended longer-term terms, depending on how long the job runs. Vehicles are covered and kept to a high standard of maintenance before release. Collection from a convenient location can be organised, or you may request drop-off, availability, timing and any associated charge are confirmed at the point of booking rather than assumed. Because Y Felinheli sits on the A487 corridor between Caernarfon and Bangor, it is worth stating your preferred handover window clearly so the arrangement can be matched to it.
Details worth settling early
Before the agreement is finalised, confirm the dates, the mileage option, the standard insurance excess and which drivers will be named on the hire. If the journey may cross into Europe, or you need a one-way arrangement, raise it at the enquiry stage. Optional cover beyond the standard policy can be explained in plain terms, and any licence or age requirements for the heavier categories will be checked before keys change hands.
Making your enquiry count
A precise enquiry saves a round of calls. Note the load type and weight, the passenger count, any site access constraints such as low gates or narrow yards, and your expected mileage. Share your preferred collection or delivery times and the main vehicle requirements; the hire team can then suggest an appropriate category or a similar model, and confirm the exact vehicle when you book.
Questions before you book

Drop-off and collection may be available to UK addresses. Give us the address, the timing you need and we will confirm whether it can be arranged and whether a charge applies.
What insurance comes with the hire?
Standard insurance is included. The applicable excess, plus any optional cover you might add, is set out clearly before the agreement is signed.
