Sharing the drive with a friend or colleague? 🚗🙌
Adding a second driver is simple. Just bring their driving licence with you and the team can sort everything at the counter.

A handy option for longer journeys, work trips or when you just want to take turns behind the wheel. ✨

Big job. Tight deadline. Not enough vehicle space.

That’s where flexible van hire comes in.

Whether you’re moving stock, heading to a job, covering a breakdown or taking on extra work, Practical gives small businesses access to the vehicle they need without the long-term commitment.

Hire it. Use it. Return it.

Simple.

That sofa looked smaller in the shop… 👀🛋️

If what you’re moving is a little too ambitious for the boot, Practical has bigger cars and vans to give you the extra space you need. 🚗🚐

Speak to your local Practical branch and find the right size for the job. 🙌

When business picks up, having the right vehicle at the right time can make all the difference. 🚐📈

Practical Car and Van Rental offers flexible vehicle hire to help businesses manage busy periods, extra jobs or short-term demand without the commitment of adding another vehicle permanently.

Ready for the long weekend? 🚗☀️

A few extra days off means more time for a day trip, a family visit or simply getting out for a change of scenery. If you need a vehicle for the weekend, Practical can help get your plans moving.

Heading off to uni and wondering how you’re going to fit everything in? 🎓📦

A bigger car or van can make moving into your new accommodation much easier, with room for the boxes, bags, bedding and all the extra bits that somehow keep appearing. 🚗🚐

Plan ahead, give yourself the space you need and make moving day a little less stressful.

Speak to your local Practical branch to check availability. 🙌

Bit unusual.... but we found the remains of this helium balloon here at work today..... lying on our parking lot... it has instructions to message the sender via a mobile number thats on it.... which I have called.... (and blanked off in the photos for security)... we can't read much on it other than I think 'from Bristol' & also 'apologies in advance if any turtles were harmed'.... if you know the owner of it then please do let them know its landed here at Practical Buckingham..... I could return it.... or put it in one of our hire vehicles..... ;0)
