Van hire in Melbourne
Weekly van hire from Dandenong South, including the Toyota HiAce, for couriers, tradies and small businesses that need load space without buying a van. Each listing shows the van's seats, weekly rent and bond. Hire is billed weekly with a one-month minimum, so it suits ongoing work rather than a one-day move.
Van rental: vehicles available
Who weekly van hire suits
Courier and parcel drivers, tradies between vehicles, and small businesses covering a busy season or a vehicle off the road. Renting by the week keeps the cost fixed and predictable, and there is no loan or lease on your books. For a single house move, a daily hire company will suit you better.
Courier and parcel work is welcome in our vans. Vans are built for loads, so we allow it; tell us on your request and we note that use on your rental agreement. Parcel work is not allowed in our cars, because loading damages car interiors.
Licence and running costs
A standard car licence covers a van like the Toyota HiAce: in Victoria a car licence covers vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes GVM seating up to 12 adults including the driver. Larger buses need a light rigid (LR) licence. We accept full Australian licences, P-plates, or an overseas licence with a translation or IDP if needed. You pay fuel, tolls and fines during the hire; the van is insured and we cover scheduled servicing and wear-and-tear repairs. If you use it for business, ask your accountant how rental costs are treated for tax.
In the weekly rent: insurance (cover and excess in your booking documents), unlimited kilometres, roadside assistance, and servicing and wear-and-tear repairs. You pay fuel, tolls, parking, fines and damage up to the excess. What the weekly rent covers

Can I hire a van for a single day?
No. This is weekly hire with a one-month minimum, built for ongoing work. For a one-day job or a single move, a daily hire company will suit you better.
What licence do I need to hire a van?
For a van up to 4.5 tonnes GVM, a standard car licence: full Australian, red or green P-plates, or an overseas licence (with an accredited English translation or International Driving Permit if it isn't in English). Anything seating more than 12 including the driver needs a light rigid (LR) licence.
Can I use the van for courier or parcel delivery?
Yes. Courier and parcel work is allowed in our vans; tell us on your request and we note it on your agreement. It isn't allowed in our cars.
Is there a kilometre limit on van hire?
No. Kilometres are unlimited, and roadside assistance is included.
Can I hire a van on P-plates?
Yes, for a van a probationary driver is allowed to drive: a standard car licence covers vans up to 4.5 tonnes GVM, such as the Toyota HiAce. Bring your physical licence to pickup.
Can I keep a van long-term?
Yes. After the first month it stays on the same weekly rate until you give 2 weeks' notice. See long-term rental.
Do you have minibuses for groups?
Any minibus we have is listed on this page with its seat count. Groups of up to eight usually travel in a Kia Carnival, under 7 and 8 seater hire. Vehicles seating more than 12 including the driver need a light rigid (LR) licence.

Renting Vehicles for a Small Business: Rent, Lease or Buy?
Buying ties up the most cash, a lease ties you to a contract, and renting costs more per week over a long period but keeps cash free and lets you stop at short notice. The right answer depends on how sure you are of the work.
