How to Choose the Right Self-Drive Hire Van For Your Needs

There are plenty of options when it comes to choosing the right self-drive hire van. Whether you’re moving home, arranging an event, or looking for a van for your business in Worthing, it’s important to get the right van for your needs. Here’s a quick guide from our experts on the factors to consider when renting a van.

What is The Intended Use of The Van?

There are countless reasons why you might need a self-drive hire van. Are you moving home? Switching office buildings? Looking to set up local deliveries?

The purpose of the van will be a crucial factor in choosing the right size and type to make your job much easier.

How Much Are You Transporting?

The weight, volume, and size of goods you plan to transport is the next factor to think about. Different vans come with different payload limits, and you can face hefty fines if you’re found with an over-stuffed van.

If you’re not totally sure of the weight of the products you plan to use the self-drive hire van for, our team will be able to help you work it out.

How Many Passengers Will You Have?

Are you planning a corporate event and need plenty of seating for guests? Or are you moving out and only need room for you and your partner?

Every person being transported in the van must have their own seat and seatbelt to comply with road laws. Luckily, we have everything from minibuses to Luton vans, so we can accommodate all of your passengers.

Are There Weight Restrictions On Your Chosen Route?

Some areas have narrow lanes, low bridges, and weight restrictions that make hiring a van a little more complicated. Before you decide on a self-drive hire van, plan out your route and figure out if there are any obstacles.

You might need to hire a smaller van to get around these road challenges and then make several trips. Or, you might be able to find a more direct route that means fewer country lanes and low bridges.
