Moving house can be an exciting yet stressful experience, and choosing the right vehicle for the job is crucial to ensuring a smooth transition. At hirefleet, we offer a diverse fleet of self-drive van rentals to cater to every moving need, from small apartments to large homes. Below, we break down our fleet and when each type of van is most suitable for your move.
A Luton van rental is an excellent choice for moving larger homes or when transporting bulky furniture and appliances. With a spacious box body and a tail lift, it allows for easy loading and unloading of heavy items such as sofas, washing machines, and wardrobes. Ideal for 2-4 bedroom house moves, the Luton van maximises space and efficiency.
A small van rental is perfect for minimalistic moves, such as transporting belongings from a studio flat or student accommodation. If you're moving a few boxes, suitcases, and some light furniture, a small van offers great fuel efficiency and easy manoeuvrability, especially in urban areas.
A dropside van rental is ideal for moves that involve carrying large, non-fragile items such as timber, garden furniture, or building materials. If you’re relocating and need to transport outdoor essentials or DIY renovation materials, this open-back van makes loading and unloading a breeze.
Flatbed van rentals are great for a wide range of uses, such as moving furniture, delivering construction materials, transporting landscaping equipment, or hauling vehicles like motorcycles and ATVs. Their open design allows for easy access with forklifts or cranes and accommodates oversized loads that wouldn’t fit in a standard enclosed van, making them a practical choice for businesses, contractors, and individuals needing flexible, heavy-duty transport solutions.
A LWB van rental (long wheel base) is perfect for medium to large moves, providing more storage space than a standard van while still being easy to drive. Ideal for moving one to two-bedroom homes, it offers a great balance of capacity and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for a variety of moving needs.
An XLWB van rental (extra large van rental with extra large wheelbase) is perfect for medium to large moves, providing more storage space than a standard van while still being easy to drive. Ideal for moving one to two-bedroom homes, it offers a great balance of capacity and fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for a variety of moving needs.
A medium-size van rental is a versatile choice for those with moderate moving requirements. It’s great for moving flats, small houses, or even office spaces. The medium van provides ample room for boxes, small furniture, and home essentials while remaining compact enough to navigate through city streets easily.
If your move involves off-road conditions, such as a rural home relocation or accessing difficult terrain, a 4x4 rental is a great option. It ensures safe and reliable transportation even in adverse weather conditions or on uneven surfaces.
A tail lift van rental is particularly useful for moving heavy items that are difficult to lift manually. With an integrated hydraulic lift at the rear, loading and unloading large furniture, appliances, or business equipment becomes much easier. This type of van is ideal for larger house moves, as well as business relocations.
hirefleet’s small van hire is compact and easy to manoeuvre, ideal for transporting furniture and boxes for a small apartment move with efficient cargo space, (go for a medium sized van hire to be on the safe side and avoid multiple trips).
Organise heavy items at the bottom, stack boxes tightly, and use hirefleet’s optional straps to secure the load, maximising space in vans like the long-wheelbase model.
hirefleet’s Luton van hire offers a spacious cargo area with optional tail lifts, perfect for safely moving large furniture pieces without multiple trips.
hirefleet’s self-drive van hire is often more cost-effective than professional movers, allowing you to manage the move yourself and avoid labour fees.
Verify your driving licence covers the van’s weight class and ensure proper insurance, with hirefleet providing fully compliant vans and guidance on load limits to meet regulations.
