Are you preparing for a house move, office relocation, or just clearing out some clutter? One of the most important choices you’ll face is picking the right van size. Get one too small, and you’ll be running back and forth with multiple loads. Go too big, and you could end up paying more than you really need to.
At Phleet Vehicle Hire, we make sure you get it right the first time. With a wide range of vans ready to hire, our team helps you choose the perfect size for a smooth, stress-free moving day. Here’s what to keep in mind:
1. Assess what you’re moving
Before booking, take stock of everything you’ll be transporting.
- Smaller moves like student relocations or one-room flats are often fine with a compact or mid-size van.
- Bigger moves involving sofas, wardrobes, appliances, or a full home’s worth of belongings usually call for a long wheelbase or Luton van with a tail lift.
2. Consider parking and access
It’s not just about what fits inside the van – it’s also about where you’ll be parking and manoeuvring it.
- Narrow streets or tight access? A smaller or mid-size van is easier to handle.
- Plenty of space? A larger van can save you time by cutting down on repeat trips.
3. Think about who’s helping
Are you moving with extra pairs of hands or going it alone?
- Solo movers benefit from vans with tail lifts, which make heavy lifting safer and simpler.
- Taller vans allow you to stand up inside while loading, making it easier to organise boxes and bulky items.
4. Check insurance and mileage
Every van hire at Phleet Vehicle Hire comes with insurance, VAT, and breakdown cover included in the price. No hidden extras, no surprises.
If you’re hiring as a business and want to use your own insurance, just bring us a valid certificate.
5. Book early to secure your van
Vans are always in high demand during weekends and at the end of the month. To avoid last-minute stress, it’s best to reserve your vehicle in advance. By booking early with Phleet Vehicle Hire, you’ll have the right size van ready when you need it.
