Quick and easy vehicle hire in Bolton
If you’re looking for vehicle hire in Bolton, we can help. We’ve been operating Intack Self Drive since 1973, and over that time we’ve grown into one of the largest privately owned self drive rental companies in Lancashire, with a fleet of more than 500 cars, vans and minibuses available from our depot in Blackburn.
Bolton is one of the many places we regularly work with, and whether you’re hiring a vehicle for personal use or for your business, we’ll make sure you get the right vehicle for what you need without fuss and without hidden extras.
Our vehicle hire services from Bolton cover daily car hire, daily van hire, flexi car hire, flexi van hire and minibus hire. All our rates include road tax, servicing, maintenance, manufacturer warranty and 24-hour breakdown cover, so you know exactly what you’re paying for from the outset.
Daily car hire and van hire services in Bolton
We provide daily car hire in Bolton for all sorts of situations. Your own car might be in for repairs, and you can’t be without transport. You may have a few days away planned and want something reliable and comfortable. You might need a vehicle for business use without committing to anything longer term. Daily hire gives you flexibility without tying you in. Our car fleet includes everything from smaller city cars to larger vehicles that offer more space and comfort for longer journeys.
Daily van hire in Bolton is just as practical. We hire vans for people moving house, furniture collection, covering while a work vehicle is off the road, and even the occasional trip to IKEA. We also work with tradespeople and small businesses who need an extra van for shorter periods. From short wheelbase vans to long wheelbase and Luton models, we’ll help you choose the right size for the job. All of our daily hire vehicles include road tax, servicing, maintenance, manufacturer warranty and 24-hour breakdown cover in the quoted price, so there are no surprises when you collect.
Flexi car and van hire in Bolton
When you need a vehicle for longer than a few days but don’t want the commitment of buying or leasing, our flexi car hire and flexi van hire in Bolton offer a more adaptable option. The minimum hire period is 28 days, and after that, you’re free to return the vehicle whenever you want.
Flexi car hire in Bolton works well if your own car is off the road for a longer repair, if you have an extended trip planned and want something dependable, or if your business needs a company car for a few months without committing to ownership. It gives you access to a reliable vehicle for the exact amount of time that you need it, no more, no less, with servicing, maintenance and breakdown cover included.
Our flexi van hire service is particularly popular with tradespeople and commercial customers. Workloads change, contracts begin and end, and sometimes you need to add a vehicle without the financial commitment of purchasing one. Flexi hire allows you to scale up when you need to and hand the vehicle back when you don’t. We keep the terms clear and the process simple, so you know exactly where you stand.
Straightforward minibus hire in Bolton
Hiring a minibus is one of those things where it can be hard to know where to start. You might not be sure what size you need, whether everyone’s licence covers it, or what’s actually included in the hire. We speak to customers from Bolton all the time who just want someone to explain it clearly and point them in the right direction.
Minibus hire in Bolton is often about making group travel straightforward. It could be transport for a work event, a conference or a team day out. It might be a school trip, a community group activity, a football match, a wedding or a weekend away with friends or family. Trying to organise multiple cars usually means juggling meeting points, parking and arrival times. Hiring a minibus keeps everyone together and makes the journey part of the day rather than a logistical headache.
We have minibuses available for smaller groups, as well as larger vehicles seating up to 17 passengers, and we’ll help you choose something that suits your numbers and plans. If you’re unsure about licence requirements or what’s needed on the day, we’ll explain it in plain terms before you book. Every vehicle is prepared carefully before collection, and all costs are included in the price we quote, so you know exactly what to expect.
FAQs
Can I rent a car with only cash?
No, we’re not able to accept cash. This is mainly down to financial security and our legal responsibilities as a vehicle hire business. We do need a card in the main driver’s name for the deposit at the very least, and ideally for the hire charges as well. If you’re unsure about how payment works before booking, just give us a call, and we’ll happily talk you through it so everything’s clear before you arrive.
What do I need to hire a rental car?
To hire a car with us, you’ll need a valid photocard driving licence and a credit or debit card for the deposit and hire payment. We’ll also need proof of address dated within the last three months. If you’ve hired with us before and your details are the same, one proof of address is fine. If you’re a new customer or you’ve moved since your last hire, you’ll need to bring two separate proofs of address, both dated within the last three months.
If you’re ever unsure about what to bring, just ask before you come down, and we’ll make sure you know exactly what you need. It’s always better to check in advance so the collection goes smoothly.
What happens when I bring a rental car back early?
If you return the vehicle earlier than planned, we’ll refund you for any full unused days. We only charge for the time the vehicle has actually been out on hire, provided the remaining time consists of full days.
If you’re using our Flexi Hire service, once you’re past the initial 28-day period, you can return the vehicle whenever it no longer suits you. That’s what the service is designed for. If you’d like to understand it in a bit more detail, just speak to us, and we’ll explain how it works.
