Terminology, Explained
"Fridge Van," "Chiller Van," "Refrigerated Van" — Same Thing?
Mostly yes, with one useful distinction worth knowing before you call around for quotes.
Fridge Van
= Chiller Van
The same vehicle. "Fridge van" is the casual term; "chiller van" is what rental companies list it as. Keeps goods in the chilled range — roughly +2°C to +8°C — right for dairy, produce, drinks, flowers, and most food.
Freezer Van
The Colder Cousin
For frozen goods that need around -18°C. If you're moving ice cream or frozen meat, that's a freezer van, not a standard fridge van.
Refrigerated Van
The Umbrella Term
Covers both chilled and frozen vehicles. So if someone quoted you a "chiller van" when you asked for a "fridge van," they weren't upselling — it's the same vehicle.
Pricing
What It Costs and What's Included
Fridge van rental is priced the same way as chiller van rental — because it's the same vehicle. Rate depends on van size, how long you rent, whether a driver is included, and how far ahead you book.
A fair quote should include a working, calibrated refrigeration unit, a clear fuel policy, and no hidden mileage surprises.
