LEON'S — Navan

LEON'S covers Navan, and it works from its base on Market Square in Townparks. Ice cream van hire can be booked for events, parties and gatherings in the town. Ask the company whether it will reach the particular spot you have in mind, since the van has to be able to get there safely.

The price of ice cream van hire depends mainly on the size or quantity hired, how long the van is needed for, and the delivery, setup and collection. The date or season can also change the cost, so ask for a quote for your exact day. The Ice Cream Van price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, which is a useful benchmark to compare with what you are offered.

There is no official register to check for this work, so the key checks are training, experience and paperwork. Ask what training and experience the drivers have, and ask for proof of public liability cover, which most venues require before they admit a supplier. A company that is well prepared will show this without hesitation.

Ask for a copy of the public liability certificate before you book, and check that the cover is in place for the date of your event. It is usual in Ireland for an ice cream van hire business to carry public liability insurance, so you can ask to see the certificate. Ask too what happens if the van cannot attend and whether any deposit is refunded.

LEON'S has a Google rating of 4.4 from 205 reviews, which you can read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=14079832434935325464. Read the most recent reviews to see how people rate the hire service and the day itself, rather than the café alone. If you need more detail, ask the company for references from recent customers.

Ice cream van hire is not usually covered by a home grant in Ireland, so there is no grant scheme to apply for. If you are planning a community or charity event, ask the organiser whether any local funding can cover part of your costs. Ask the company to explain the hire charge clearly so you can budget for it.

You can ask for a quote by phone, or through the company's website or its Locufy page for LEON'S. Include the date, the location, the number of guests and roughly how long you need the van, along with photos of the spot if possible. Say when the day suits you so the quote can be matched to your plans.
