    It depends what you want. A few quid or a van?


    Most of the big companies have a chosen charity partner for the year so you may struggle to get anything out of them. Dealers with local connections will often support local groups and charities, so you may do may have better luck with them.

    Might be worth asking local van hire places to see if they can do you a special deal for occasional use, too.

    Nowhere is going to give a charity a van out of the blue.

    Local dealers may offer a reduced lease rate if you drive the vehicle around covered in advertising decals, but I guess it would depend on what sort of charitable activities you are involved in, how much good press you could generate etc.
