A clear place to collect
Travelling from Strood
to Regal Chatham
Plan to collect from Dockside Outlet Centre, Maritime Way, then check your onward route to the exact Strood address. Agree both the pickup and return times with Regal before setting off.
Collection address: Unit 6A, Dockside Outlet Centre, Maritime Way, Chatham, Kent, ME4 3ED.
Our office is next to M&S at Dockside Outlet Centre. Use the front or rear entrance; the office is wheelchair accessible.
Regal does not have customer parking directly at the office. Customers can use the Dockside Outlet car park at £7 per day; check the car park’s payment instructions and conditions.
Planning your hire locally
A larger load needs a suitable stopping place
For a Strood collection or delivery, check where the vehicle can stop and how the goods will reach the door. Local car parks have different layouts and limits: Commercial Road and Grove Road are not interchangeable choices for a large vehicle. Check the destination rather than assuming a familiar car route will suit a truck.
A tail lift needs working space
For heavier items, request the actual lift rating and allow a level loading area behind the vehicle.
Check the specific car park
Review the council listing for the place you intend to use, including size restrictions and permitted stay. A parking listing does not guarantee a bay for a commercial vehicle.
Useful local information: Commercial Road Strood parking details ↗. Check current restrictions with the operator. This is a planning resource, not a Regal collection point.

Strood vehicle hire FAQs
Practical answers about choosing a vehicle and collecting from the right branch.
Where do I collect a hire vehicle for Strood?
Collect from Regal Chatham. Unit 6A, Dockside Outlet Centre, Maritime Way, Chatham, Kent, ME4 3ED. Collect at this branch using the address below. The area guide helps you plan your journey to the confirmed collection point.
Can I choose a truck just because it holds more?
Check the load weight, driver entitlement and access first. A Luton or panel van may be easier for the job if a truck cannot use the loading area.
Can I arrange delivery to my address?
This guide offers hire collected from the confirmed branch. Delivery to your address is not included or promised. If you need another handover arrangement, give the team the full postcode and ask whether it can be agreed, including any charge.
How do I choose between a van, Luton and truck?
Start with item dimensions and total weight, then check usable load space, door openings and payload. A tail lift has its own weight limit. Use the van and truck size guide and confirm the actual vehicle with the team.
What do I need before collection?
Bring your driving licence, a valid DVLA check code, bank card and two proofs of address dated within the last three months, such as a bank statement or utility bill. Read the full hire requirements and check your confirmation.
Can I speak to someone before travelling?
Yes. Phone enquiries are Monday–Friday 8:00am–5:00pm and Saturday–Sunday 8:00am–10:00am. WhatsApp messages are daily, 6:00am–8:00pm. Staffed office hours and your agreed handover are separate; both are shown above.
