Hertz at Southampton
Sitting on The Solent, Southampton is a port city with a long maritime heritage. While much of today’s port may have been redeveloped, this is still a city that knows how to do business, and the plethora of business parks, industrial estate and retail centres are testament to that.
We aim to make van hire in Southampton as simple and fuss-free as it can be, whatever you need it for. It might be to move home or office, to pick up white goods or to drop in to one of the numerous DIY or furniture shops you’ll find dotted across the city.
Our numerous pick-up and drop-off points will make life easier for you and they’ll give you access to both retail parks and city centre shops. Also, if you’re moving students in to one of the city’s two universities, our spacious vans come into their own.

Driving in and around Southampton
Our various pick-up branches benefit from being scattered across the city at key points. They’ll let you quickly access the modern, convenient road network of Southampton, whether your business is entirely within the city or will take you further afield. The port still functions here, which means road connections are vital.
Outside of the centre, two main motorways service Southampton. The M3 is one of them, leading north to first Winchester and Basingstoke before turning north-east for London. The M27, meanwhile, leads a little way west into the New Forest before becoming the A31, while taking it east takes you to Portsmouth.
For nearby north-west locations such as Salisbury, with its famed cathedral, head west on the M27 before joining the A36. Back in the centre, the River Itchen cuts into Southampton, with the northernmost crossing point on the A3035, the A3024 in the middle and then the A3025 to the south.
There are no particular parking or road restrictions to be aware of in Southampton – just the bus lanes, one-way systems, cycle lanes and parking zones typical of any UK city. For a comprehensive guide to parking rules and the location of all car parks, check out the Southampton Council website.
For retail access, it’s worth noting that part of Above Bar Street, one of the main shopping streets, is pedestrianised. You’ll find an IKEA on West Quay Road at the West Quay Retail Park, along with numerous other retailers. A newer shopping centre, the WestQuay (not to be confused with the similarly titled one elsewhere in the city), is situated next to the docks.
Opt for van hire in Southampton and your next retail, DIY or moving experience will be so much easier, while getting in and out of the city is simple. Book online now or speak to our local teams with any questions you may have.
