Staying Safe on the Roads This Christmas

As the festive season begins to sparkle across Chorley and those crisp winter mornings settle in, we wanted to share a warm seasonal update from all of us here at JS Van Hire Chorley. It’s a wonderful time of year—twinkling lights in the town centre, the bustle of Christmas preparations, and that familiar feeling of excitement in the air.

Whether you’re delivering gifts, visiting family, or squeezing in those last-minute festive errands, our vans are fully serviced and ready for whatever your winter plans demand. Each vehicle receives additional seasonal checks to ensure comfort, reliability, and safe performance on cold or frosty roads.

Winter driving can be a little more challenging, so here are a few friendly reminders to help you stay safe:

  • Take it gently on icy or wet roads—smooth steering and braking make all the difference.

  • Allow extra time and distance for stopping, especially on country lanes where frost lingers.

  • Clear all windows and mirrors thoroughly before setting off, even if you’re in a rush.

  • Carry a warm layer or blanket, just in case a journey takes longer than expected.

  • Check your lights before heading out—good visibility is essential with these short winter days.

Our holiday opening hours will remain the same throughout December (Mon-Sat, 8:30-17:30), with the exception of the following days:

  • Christmas Day – Closed

  • Boxing Day – Closed

  • New Year’s Day – Closed

Aside from these dates, we’re here as usual to help with any bookings, queries, or last-minute needs. December vans do book up quickly, so feel free to get in touch if you’d like to reserve one ahead of the festive rush.

As we approach the end of another busy year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our customers. Your support means a great deal to us, and we’re proud to help keep your plans running smoothly—whatever the weather.

Wishing you a warm, joyful Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
Stay safe on the roads, and remember: JS Van Hire Chorley is here whenever you need us.
