About Nav Van Hire Ltd

Nav Van Hire Ltd: commercial van hire in Kettering

Nav Van Hire Ltd is a British family-run commercial vehicle hire company operating on a self-drive basis, meaning the customer drives the van themselves. Its base is in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and the company states it has over fifteen years of experience providing mobility solutions to businesses. Its activity is mainly geared towards the professional sector — deliveries, goods transport and removals — although it also has vehicles for private use.

The company states it has received the Midlands Enterprise Awards 2025 and the Diamond Distinction Awards 2026, recognitions which, according to its own presentation, endorse its track record in the vehicle hire sector and its family-run nature.

Hire options

The offering is structured around different contract formats that adapt to the duration and needs of the customer:

  • Daily hire: available from 24 hours and extendable according to the user's needs.
  • Long-term hire: flexible contracts, usually with a minimum of one month, which can be extended or adjusted.
  • Recovery truck hire: a service designed for recovery or assistance companies that need to add an extra vehicle to their fleet, with flatbed trucks and daily rates.

The company stresses that its fleet is available nationwide despite being based in Northamptonshire, and that its central location in the country facilitates service both in the north and the south.

Vehicle fleet

The vehicle catalogue covers medium and large vans, box vans, electric vans, some cars and SUVs, as well as flatbed recovery trucks. Among the specific models detailed on the website are:

  • Renault Trafic (medium wheelbase, MWB): wide rear doors and low loading height for bulky items; includes lane departure warning, active emergency braking and parking sensors.
  • Renault Master (long wheelbase, LWB): wide side and rear doors for pallet loading; cabin designed as a mobile office, with practical seating and storage.
  • Volkswagen Crafter (long wheelbase, LWB): long wheelbase design for large items; lane assist, emergency braking and parking sensors.
  • Renault Master Low Loader (Luton): low loading height for quick operations; touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth and navigation.
  • Mercedes Sprinter with tail lift (Luton Tail Lift): hydraulic platform for heavy loads of up to 750 kg; MBUX system with Bluetooth and cruise control.

The company indicates that all white vans are available at no extra cost and without livery, so they are suitable for any type of business.

Business services and fleet support

Nav Van Hire presents itself as a supplier geared towards the business sector. It offers fleet hire with several vehicles simultaneously and hire packages tailored to projects or growth phases, with the possibility of expanding the fleet with a simple call. When the customer needs more than three vans, a discounted hire price applies.

After-sales support is a prominent part of its offering: servicing and maintenance included according to customer needs, mobile mechanics to keep vehicles on the road and an in-house workshop. It also offers, at the customer's request, extras such as installation of trackers and cameras in the vehicles. The company has an office team for administrative matters and enquiries.

Location and facilities

The operational base is located next to junction 7 of the A14, where the company has a newly built office. From there it coordinates a hire service that, according to its presentation, achieves nationwide coverage.
