If you’re hiring vans for your business over a longer period, you may want to add your company branding, contact details or promotional graphics to the vehicles. The good news is that yes, you can sign write or wrap a van on a long-term business fleet hire, providing a few simple rules are followed.
We understand that having branded vehicles is an important part of building your business identity and promoting your services. We’re happy to consider signage and vehicle wraps, subject to approval.
What Do I Need to Do Before Sign Writing or Wrapping a Van?
Before any work begins, we’ll need to approve both your proposed design and the signage company carrying out the work.
This allows us to make sure the graphics are suitable for the vehicle and that the installation is completed professionally. Please don’t arrange for any signage or wrapping to be applied until you have received our approval.
Are There Any Restrictions on What We Can Display?
Yes. While we’re happy to support business branding, there are a few straightforward restrictions on the type of signage and advertising permitted.
Your proposed design must:
- Be appropriate: No offensive, racist, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate wording, images or graphics.
- Avoid competitor advertising: Signage must not promote or advertise businesses that compete with Sheffield Van Hire.
- Be safe for other road users: Designs must not include graphics, colours, lighting or other features that could distract other drivers or create a road safety concern.
Can We Use Our Own Signage Company?
Yes, you can use your preferred signage or vehicle wrapping company, but we will need to approve the company before any work takes place. This helps ensure the vehicle is treated correctly and that the installation meets our requirements.
Do We Need to Remove the Signage Before Returning the Van?
Yes. All company graphics, stickers, sign writing and vehicle wraps must be completely removed before the van is returned at the end of the hire agreement.
The vehicle must be returned in its original condition, allowing for normal wear and tear. Any sticker residue, adhesive marks, damage to the paintwork or other marks left behind by the signage will need to be rectified, and additional charges may apply for cleaning, removal or repairs.
We recommend using a professional signage company to ensure graphics can be removed safely without damaging the vehicle.
Are Magnetic Signs a Better Alternative to Sign Writing?
For many businesses, magnetic vehicle signs can be a much more flexible and cost-effective alternative to permanent sign writing or full vehicle wraps.
Magnetic signs can be easily fitted and removed without applying adhesive directly to the vehicle. They’re particularly useful for businesses hiring multiple vans, as you can simply move your magnetic signs from one vehicle to another when your fleet changes.
They also make it easier to keep your vans looking professional when you don’t need your company branding displayed.
If you’re looking for a simple way to advertise your business without the expense of permanent vehicle graphics, magnetic signs are well worth considering.
Can We Add Our Company Branding to Multiple Fleet Vehicles?
Absolutely. If you’re hiring several vans on a long-term business fleet agreement, we can consider branding across the fleet. Simply provide us with your proposed designs and details of the signage company so we can review everything before installation.
