Gilford Van Hire, Craigavon

Welcome to GVH Rentals. We are a long-established family business located in Portadown, Craigavon, Northern Ireland - offering a range of vans, lorries and trailers for hire across the province.

Gilford Van Hire Limited was originally established by Freddie Kelly in 1968, close to Gilford in County Down, with the objective of hiring out commercial vans and trucks to the business users of the trucks which were being repaired at his maintenance garage. Realising that there was a market in the area for the hire of commercial vehicles, Freddie soon began hiring vans, trucks and minibuses to both the business and private sectors.

In 1992, having outgrown their original premises, Gilford Van Hire Limited moved to Carn Industrial Estate in Craigavon. This larger site at 1 Breagh Drive in Carn Industrial Estate is in a much better location, being close to the M1 motorway and only 20 minutes from Belfast.

Over the years, the company has grown into one of the largest commercial vehicle hire businesses in Northern Ireland but still remains very much a family-run business, where customers, new and old, are guaranteed to receive a warm, efficient, and personal one-to-one service.
