Short-Term Van Hire: What You Need to Know Before Booking

Small Van hire

Ideal for quick jobs, small deliveries, or transporting a few boxes.
Examples: Vauxhall Combo, Citroën Berlingo

  • Easy to drive and park
  • Good for city trips and light loads
  • Limited space for anything large or bulky

Medium Van hire

A step up in space without being too big.
Examples: Ford Transit Custom, VW Transporter

  • Great for flat moves, tools, or moderate loads
  • Comfortable for longer trips
  • May still be tight for large furniture or full house moves

Large Van hire (Long Wheelbase)

Useful when you need serious load space.
Examples: Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit LWB

  • Suitable for bigger moves or multiple bulky items
  • Higher load capacity

Luton Van hire

Best option for full house moves or large deliveries. Often includes a tail lift.
Examples: Ford Transit Luton

  • Box-shaped load area makes packing easier
  • Tail lift helps with heavy lifting
  • Larger size requires more care when driving
