Which box – and do you need a driver?

The right choice depends on your licence, your confidence and how far you are going.

Self-drive suits you if…

  • You hold a full UK car licence
  • You are happy reversing a larger vehicle
  • The trip is local or a show day

Consider a driver if…

  • You would rather not drive a horsebox
  • It is a long-distance journey
  • You need a larger box than your licence allows

Pricing: Prices depend on the box and the length of hire – see our services page for current day, weekend, weekly and long-term rates, or call for a quote.

Before you set off: a hire-day checklist

A quick routine at collection saves stress on the road and at the show ground.

  • Bring your photocard licence
  • Plan a route that avoids low bridges and narrow lanes
  • Allow extra time for loading at both ends
  • Return the box swept out and on time
  • Pack the passport, haynets and water
  • Check tyres, lights and mirrors at handover
