Yes, you can book a 1 tonne van hire online in Melbourne. Turbofleet takes online bookings for its 1 tonne vans, which start from $80 a day, so you choose your pickup depot and dates on the website without needing to call. There are no booking fees, the van drives on a standard car licence, and you can reserve at any time of day. Booking online takes a few minutes, and the team confirms your reservation before you collect the van from Craigieburn or Ravenhall.
How to book a 1 tonne van online
The online booking runs in a few simple steps:
- Open the van hire page and select the 1 tonne van.
- Choose your pickup depot, Craigieburn in the north or Ravenhall in the west.
- Pick your start and return dates and times.
- Enter your driver and licence details.
- Submit the booking and wait for your confirmation.
Once the booking is in, the team checks availability and confirms it, so you know the van is held for your dates before you arrive.
What you need to book online
To complete an online booking you need your travel dates, the depot you want to collect from, and a full valid driver’s licence for the person driving. Overseas visitors can book with a valid licence in English or an international permit. Have a payment card ready, since a refundable bond is arranged when you collect the van. The bond amount depends on the van and comes back to you once it is returned in good order.
What the 1 tonne van is for
The 1 tonne van, from $80 a day, is an enclosed cargo van that suits everyday loads such as deliveries, courier and platform work, trade jobs, and small moves. It has a car licence rating, automatic transmission, and power steering, so it drives much like a normal car. If you carry loads for a delivery platform, the rideshare and delivery hire options are set up for that work, and if your load is bigger, a truck is the next step up.
Booking online or by phone
Online booking suits most people because you can do it any time, compare dates, and lock in the van without waiting to speak to someone. If you have a question first, such as the bond amount, the kilometre allowance, or whether a van is free at short notice, the team is happy to help over the phone or you can contact them and book that way instead. Either route reaches the same depots and the same vans, with no booking fees added.
Fees, bond, and what is included
Turbofleet does not charge booking fees, so the rate you see online is the rate you book. The van comes with automatic transmission, power steering, and tie-down points ready for loading. The refundable bond is set up at pickup, not deducted online, and it is returned after the van comes back in good condition. It is worth checking the kilometre allowance and any damage cover during booking so the price is clear before you drive.
How soon can you pick up after booking online?
Once your online booking is confirmed, you can usually collect the van on your chosen date, and short-notice bookings are often possible when a van is free. Weekends are the busiest time, so booking a day or two ahead is the safest way to secure a 1 tonne van for the date you need. You can see current availability on the van hire page or through reservations.
