Reading Van Hire News

With just over a month to go, Christmas is creeping up at pace - the shops are full of tinsel and festive cheer, the adverts are impossible to avoid and delivery companies are gearing up by increasing their fleet size to make sure all our purchases reach the intended recipient ahead of the big day.

So, you've done the easy part and chosen Berkshire Van Hire to rent your vehicle...but the hard part starts when you turn out of our forecourt and hit the road for the first time!

After an 11.1 per cent rise in August, new van registrations rose by 10.3% in September, compared to September 2012

Our easy access and competitive rates make us a popular choice across Berkshire and beyond. If you’re living or working in and around Slough, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Windsor or Wokingham, you might be tempted to think of rental facilities in and around Heathrow.

For those of you with children of school age, it can’t have escaped your notice that the half-term holidays are just around the corner. I know, it seems like only yesterday that they went back after the long summer break and here they are back at home under your feet!

Whether you need a small car for a short time while yours is off the road and you need to continue your mum/dad's taxi routine, you fancy a family day out in the countryside, you need to deliver some goods to a West Berkshire client using a small van or you are organising a sporting event against one of the county's top teams and could make use of a rental minibus, look no further.

Open the papers every day and you'll see a new headline about home ownership - house prices increasing, stabilising, falling, on the up, flat-lining, crashing; not enough affordable homes, the need to build new houses for an aging population; the list is endless.

It's a capital city so everything you need must be there, on your doorstep in London, right? Wrong!

Think of Reading and what comes to mind? A busy commuter town for people working in London? Great shopping and entertainment at the Oracle? A decent football team with its home at the spectacular Madejski Stadium?

We only have to look outside to see the leaves changing colour on the trees, the nights starting to draw in and T-shirts being replaced by jackets to understand that summer is well and truly giving way to autumn.

As the long, warm summer evenings start getting a little cooler and shorter, thoughts might be turning to a quick trip to the continent for a few final rays.

Wedding planning is big business and the season is well and truly upon us.
