Here’s what Cool Running Rental has to offer…
If you’re looking to hire a temperature-controlled or refrigerated van for your business, you’ve come to the right place. Cool Running Rental has over 90 years experience in the industry, alongside our sister company Rentruck who offer great deals on car and van rentals.
We truly believe that our vehicles can be the perfect tool to help businesses expand and branch out, by offering their services far beyond their shop premises. Whether you are a florist, pharmaceutical company, catering business or in any other industry that may need to transport goods at optimum temperatures to keep them fresh, we have a van suitable for you.
We offer the best vans on the market, from Mercedes Sprinters and Vitos to Volkswagen Crafters and Transporters. We would only provide our customers with vehicles that we would use ourselves, ones that are reliable and get the job done. We’ve got a pretty great selection, if we do say so ourselves!
However, we’re well aware that there’s not a “one-size-fits-all” vehicle in this game, and it can initially be quite daunting to know which type and size of vehicle you need, so we’re here to help you out.
