AUTO Transit Van SWB PHEV (Plug-in-Hybrid-Vehicle)

Example vehicle: Ford Transit Custom PHEV

Be one of the first in the South East to drive the brand-new SWB Transit Custom PHEV Automatic. This plug-in hybrid is the perfect choice if you are looking for flexible, low-emission automatic van hire.

You can run on pure electric power for up to 33 miles (WLTP), perfect for cutting fuel costs if you regularly drive through London’s ULEZ or local low-emission zones. If you need a top-up between jobs, finding a local charger is easy with apps like Zapmap. For longer trips, the petrol engine and seamless automatic transmission take over, completely eliminating range anxiety.

Why Hire the SWB Transit Custom PHEV?

Despite the advanced hybrid tech, the SWB Transit Custom PHEV remains a proper working van. It offers a heavy-duty 1,160kg payload and 6.81m³ of load space, easily fitting your tools while staying compact enough for tight residential streets.

If your business is ready to drop tailpipe emissions entirely, we have you covered. You can switch to a smaller fully electric Berlingo for light urban deliveries, or maximize your cargo space with our fully electric LWB Transit van.

  • NEW Transit Custom Plug in Hybrid Automatic

We operate a “like-for-like” return policy for both petrol and electricity. We provide the vehicle with a specific level of fuel and charge, and we ask that you return the van at those same levels. While we always aim to provide a well-charged battery, we do not guarantee a 100% charge at the start of every hire. If you are unable to match the initial levels, we will simply settle the difference upon your return.

You can charge at thousands of public points across the UK using the van’s supplied cable. We recommend using the Zapmap app to find live status updates for fast chargers near your route. The van also uses regenerative braking to help top up the battery while you drive.

There is no risk of being stranded. When the electric battery runs low, the petrol engine and automatic transmission take over seamlessly. This “best of both worlds” approach allows you to enjoy the efficiency of an electric motor without any of the range anxiety associated with long-distance travel.

No, a standard full UK/EU Category B driving licence allows you to drive all vehicles in our fleet up to 3.5 tonnes, including the Transit Custom PHEV. You do not need any additional special qualifications to operate our automatic hybrid models.

Hire Information

Reduce the stress and financial worry of paying the higher insurance liability if you are involved in a collision. Our CDW cover reduces your liability if you have a collision whilst driving a hire vehicle, or damage that is caused to the vehicle whilst parked or unattended. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) reduces the excess payable by the hirer in the event that the hired vehicle has been involved in a collision. This is a contractual waiver that must be taken at the start of the rental period rather than an insurance product. Typically, this will reduce the excess from between £1000-£1500 down to the deposit amount (£300 – £500). This depends on endorsements, driving experience, type of vehicle being hired and the intended use of the vehicle.

Our cover also removes the liability for LOU (Loss of use) following after an accident whereby you can be liable for up to two weeks LOU while the vehicle is in for repairs. CDW reduces this to zero.

The CDW option will be available during the checkout process. (If using alternative insurance for CDW a seperate admin charge of £84 applies if you require Kendall Cars to provide documentation and/or liaison with you or your insurers for your claim).

Why is it recommended?

Reduces stress and financial worries of paying the higher insurance liability if you are involved in a collision.

Considerably reduces your liability if:

  • You have a collision whilst driving a vehicle you are not accustomed to.
  • Damaged caused to the vehicle whilst parked or unattended.
  • Damaged caused if the person that collides with you is uninsured or fails to stop.
CDW Exclusions
  • All Glass, (excluding windscreen) and tyre damage.
  • Damage caused above windscreen height of a commercial vehicle.
  • Damage caused to the vehicle when not on the public highway.
  • Theft of the vehicle, where the original keys cannot be returned.
  • Acts of Vandalism.
  • Malicious Acts.
  • Damage caused by the negligence of the hirer (for example, racing or driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs).
  • If the terms and conditions of the rental agreement are breached.
