Van Hire in Thanet
Since 2012, Lobster Van Hire has striven to offer clean, reliable vehicles at low, affordable prices, attempting to simplify the overly complicated process found in the vehicle hire industry.
Our prices are clear and transparent, without the unnecessary, endless insurances or optional extras that you feel obliged to purchase by a salesperson.
We are a local family, serving our local communities in Thanet and the surrounding areas with pride, helping them to move houses, or build new ones; keeping other local businesses operating when their own vehicles stop working; or moving students that are taking their first steps of independence moving to a university; and even those that are moving to or from another country, to start a new chapter.
No matter the need, we continue to proudly serve and strive to provide the best service possible to anyone that makes an enquiry.
Why hire from Lobster?
- Our Thanet site is located within an easy to reach Industrial estate - Situated just 5 minutes from Westwood Cross, there is free parking on the industrial estate, enabling customers to leave a car nearby should they choose to
- Return the van when it works for you - at our Thanet site, it’s possible to return the vehicle even out of operating hours, by parking the van on site and posting the keys through the secure drop box
- Whilst we do not push optional insurances and extras on our customers - we do offer some extras that we think are sometimes overlooked. For example, we rent out sack trolleys for customers that might have heavy appliances to move
- Our deposit and mileage allowances are the best around - Our daily mileage allowance (250 miles per day) is often more than double that of other companies in the area, and our deposits required on vans are the lowest too
- At our Thanet site is also our sister business, Dreamland Beds, which has been operating for over 20 years, supplying premium beds and furniture at affordable, wholesale prices to the local Thanet and surrounding communities
