Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Hiring an ice cream van.

Payment can vary depending on the specific agreement you have with the ice cream van operator. In some cases they may charge you a fixed fee for the hire and then provide ice creams for free to your guests for a certain amount of time, or in other cases, guests may pay directly for their ice creams.


Some operators may offer different package options with varying prices and inclusions, so it's important to clarify exactly what is included in the package before making a booking so it's best to send an enquiry using Eventsense to get a quote based on your specific event needs.

The cost can vary depending on several factors, including the duration of the hire, the location of the event, the number of guests, and the type of van and services requested. As a rough estimate, you can expect to pay between £200 to £500 for a few hours' hire of a standard ice cream van.


It's important to note that these prices are just estimates and may vary depending on your specific requirements and location. It's best to send an enquiry using Eventsense to get a quote based on your specific event needs. This will give you a better idea of the average cost and help you compare prices to find the best deal.
