I shudder at the thought of how much the fuel would have normally cost as I ended up doing a few journeys amounting to about 50 miles in total (I know that doesn't sound much, but vans aren't usually very efficient and have to move a lot more weight) 😵. The range on this particular van is about 90 miles (depending of course on how its driven), which may not be suitable if you're moving house to Essex, but it's more than plenty for most uses. CV2 had a charge of £10 for recharging the van, but they were happy to waive that fee as I was able to charge it at home using our own charge point (Type 2 connection) and it only used 2% when I returned it. It probably cost around £3.50 for me to recharge it at home, though a full charge would probably get much closer to £10, so it's a reasonable fee for the energy - AND much cheaper than the equivalent in petrol or diesel!🤑
Did I mention they've got an electric van! I think it was about 3,500mm (although it might have been 4m?) in the cargo bay so its not a small van. Being electric it's automatic and soooo smooth to drive 😊 (which is a bonus for taking helping take care of precious cargo). It also uses regenerative braking through the accelerator, so if you're planning ahead fairly well you can virtually drive just with the accelerator pedal and only use the brake when bringing it to a complete stop, or the rare occasion you need to stop very quickly...😨 but then WOW you can stop quickly if you need to 😎. Although it has some efficient modes which help encourage gentle acceleration, like all electric vehicles it's got impressive torque so there's never any worry you'll struggling up hills or anything.
If you've got this far then I expect you love the benefits of electric vehicles as much as I and you won't be disappointed renting this van from CV2.
Would 100% recommend CV2 for your van hire!
I've used CV2 to hire a long wheelbase Transit type van on a couple of occasions. On each occasion, the van has been new, in good condition and easy to drive. Their rates are good, especially compared to the larger chains and taking into account the standard of vehicles offered.
The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledge. Sean and Anna were excellent when dealing with my latest hire.
Will be back in future. Recommended.
A big thank you to Stuart and Hannah for your help, friendliness and professionalism!
