The van you need isn’t always the van that comes off the production line.

Racking. Chapter 8. Beacons. Signage. Tow bars. Ply lining.

Different businesses and different jobs have very different requirements.

That’s why our in-house team can prepare and customise vehicles before they reach your operation, helping you get vehicles that are ready to work from day one.

Because vehicle hire shouldn’t just be about finding you a van.

It should be about finding you the right vehicle for the job.

First look at the new 2026 Toyota Hilux Invincible Double Cab

The first of 10 new Hilux Invincible Double Cabs have arrived with us, with the rest following over the next week or so, and first impressions are very good.

Toyota has really moved the Hilux on.

It still feels every bit the tough, dependable working pickup you expect, but the biggest difference is just how much more refined it feels. The cabin, driving position and overall finish feel like a genuine step forward, while it still retains that solid, purposeful Hilux character.

And it looks fantastic.

The new styling gives it a much stronger road presence and, in Invincible specification, it manages to look smart enough for everyday use while still being completely at home as a working vehicle.

After getting behind the wheel, our initial verdict is simple:
This feels like a big step up for the Hilux.

Take a look at the video and let us know what you think. 👇
