Whether you’re moving yourself, loved ones or heavy goods, you’ll find that hiring a van in Leicester is simplicity itself. This is a business hub with excellent connections to nearby cities, towns and villages, while there are numerous business and retail parks here too.
It helps that the country’s major motorway runs through it, the M1 skirting the western outreaches of the city as it comes from the south, from London via Northampton. It continues north to Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds, a popular route for transporting goods.
The nearby university town of Loughborough lies along the A6. Carry on along this route and get on to the A453 going north-east for another way into Nottingham. If your destination lies east, hop on the A47 in your hire van for Billesdon, Uppingham and Peterborough, while south-east on the A6 you’ll find Market Harborough and Kettering. With Coventry to the south-west and the brewing traditions of Burton-upon-Trent north-west, Leicester really is at the centre of it all.
In the city itself, you’ll find a couple of ring roads that make navigating Leicester simpler. The A563 is the outer ring-road, made up of roads such as Troon Way, New Parks Way and Attlee Way. It’s a great way to avoid the traffic of the city centre if you don’t need to pass through it. The A594 is the central ring, close to the University of Leicester, De Montfort University, King Power Stadium (home of Leicester City FC) and De Montfort Hall.
You’ll find numerous car parks in the town’s core, should you need them, including at key shopping areas you might want to access, such as the Haymarket Centre and the Fosse Shopping Park, home to large furniture and houseware brands. With van hire in Leicester you can pick up that brand new sofa yourself, rather than take a day off work to wait in for it.
