Van and trailer bookings must be made at least 24 hours before your visit. Please note:

• Caged Tipper type vehicles and flatbed trucks are not allowed at our sites.
• You must bring proof of residency, such as a utility bill.
• When you make a van booking, you can visit more than once a day but you have to use a different van booking slot.
• Every north London resident is allowed to book six van bookings in one year.
• Stripped vehicles need to be booked under our a van and trailer booking system. This includes any vehicle without seats fitted in the back including minibuses with seats removed and crew cab type (pick-up) vehicles.
• Wheelchair accessible vehicles do not need to book in advance. However, please be aware that you may be asked to point out any adaptations or features of the vehicle that make it a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger' vehicle.
• If you are using a hire van, please bring proof of your hire agreement.

You can cancel your van booking if you no longer need it. Just find the email which confirms what day and time you have booked. Look down at the bottom of that email and you will see the text, "To cancel your booking please visit our cancel booking page". Click on the link on the words "cancel booking page" and follow the steps to cancel your booking.
