Daily Spot Hire
Whether you need a van for the day, week or month our spot hire fleet could be your quick fix. Our spot hires typically run in 24 hour periods, we at Roberts Transport Self Drive Hire Limited acknowledge that every hire is different, so with this in mind we offer a more flexible approach to each and every customer. Should you need a vehicle outside of the advertised office hours or need to extend at short notice, we will endeavour to accommodate your every need.
6 - 12 Month Contract Hire
Whether you are starting out by yourself and don't want to be tied into a long term lease or have a short term contract that you need a specific size vehicle for, we can help.
Having the right people working along side of us has allowed us to be in a position where we could hire you various makes and models of vehicles available ranging from 26 - 52 weeks at the right cost. Should your contract end once your hire period expires simply hand the vehicle back or renew and get another brand new vehicle. We aim to exchange as seamlessly as possible, to enable us to do this you would need to look at replacement vehicles 1 month from end of contract.

The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. They accommodated a last-minute request for a van without any issues, and nothing appeared to be too much trouble for them. The vans were pleasant to drive and clean on the inside. Overall, the service received was very satisfactory, and the price was reasonable.

Elaine and Nathan were fantastic and very friendly. Elaine went above and beyond to help me at short notice with a vehicle at a very reasonable price. This company provides brand new Mercedes vehicles that are pristine. The service and friendliness of both Elaine and Nathan was excellent and I would definitely recommend this business.

Best Van Hire in Sussex! Probably the UK but haven't looked that far! We have used them several times and they are brilliant every time. Couldn't recommend them more, professional service every time.

I hired a van from Roberts Transport at the weekend and was massively impressed with the whole process. Elaine was incredibly helpful throughout and explained everything thoroughly. The van itself was mint condition, obviously looked after, clean and perfect for the job we required. If you're looking to hire a vehicle for anything, then I'd definitely recommend these guys.

If you need to hire a van you will only need to call this company and everything will be spot on! From first class customer service to immaculately clean, modern vehicles it made hiring a van an absolute pleasure. The staff are amazingly helpful and knowledgable about their vehicles and will help you choose the right van! Can't recommend highly enough.

Would highly recommend hiring a van from Roberts Transport. Quick and hassle free process when collecting the vehicle. The van was extremely clean and very reasonable on price in comparison to other companies I have used.

AMAZING! Can't recommend highly enough. Elaine was lovely - patient, helpful and informative. The van was VAST and presented at a very high standard, with all mod cons. The 'flexibility' mentioned in the tag line meant that I could return the van the same evening (a Saturday) instead of paying much more to have to return it on the Monday, as with all the other 'major' companies. I am elated to know categorically where to go now should I need a van again. Thank you Roberts Transport!

I hired a couple of vans from this EXCELLENT company and this review is a tad overdue. I needed a van to move from Isle of Wight and shortly after a second van to move within West Sussex. This company makes the entire process so easy, smooth and hassle free. Their personal approach goes a long way to ensure you have a perfect experience. They are incredibly reasonably priced and the vans are of excellent quality and always clean. Cant recommend Kat and her time highly enough.

Have rented vans from Roberts transport a fair few times now and have always had a great experience, the rates are better than the competition, the vans are nicer and cleaner and customer service is perfect. Ive used other hire companies in the past but Roberts are 10 times better.

Awesome company to deal with, our old van just wouldn't have been comfortable for the journey we used the rental van for, great brand new van, simple book proceeded, great vehicle and also do part day rentals. If you want a tidy reliable vehicle for a day a week or even longer this is definitely the place to go.
