Top Tips for Renting a Cargo Van in Cambridge
- Cambridge is only around 35 minutes north of Stansted Airport (STN) on the M11 Motorway. If you're flying to the area and hoping to pick up your Cambridge van hire at the airport, Stansted is probably your best option. The car hire village is a short distance from the main terminal, and there's a free shuttle bus available. Alternatively, if there aren't any companies at the airport with the type of van you're looking for, Drivalia offers their own shuttle to their offices near Maple Manor Parking, and they frequently have large cargo vans available. Picking up your van at the airport is ideal if you'll be transporting a large amount of luggage from the moment you arrive.
- Rush hour in Cambridge generally starts between 07:30 and 08:00 and ends around 09:30 or 10:00. In the afternoon, it gets busy as early as 15:30, and congestion starts to ease around 18:30. The M11 is one of the busiest roads, particularly heading southbound towards London. Huntingdon Road is also often very busy in the mornings, and you can expect Trumpington Road and Lensfield Road to be busy in the afternoon and early evening.
- As a historic city, Cambridge has a number of narrow roads and one-way streets. These are particularly common closer to the city centre and can be difficult to navigate with a van. If you need to get to the other side of the city, you may find it easier to take major roads around the centre. Additionally, you can expect to share the roads with cyclists, so be alert, especially at junctions.
- Most Cambridge van hire companies will only rent vans to drivers who are 25 years or older. Some models may also be restricted to drivers aged 30 years or older. If you are able to hire a van between 21 and 24 years, you can expect to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge, which is usually an additional daily rate. You'll usually be able to hire a van with a standard UK driving licence, as long as the total weight does not exceed 3.5 tons.
