Moving home goes far better when the van matches the load. Too small, and you face extra trips. Too large, and you pay for space you do not need. So, getting the size right is the most useful job before moving day. For van hire in Warrington, our Tilley Street depot has over 70 vans.
Matching the Van to Your Move
Start with the largest items first. A double bed, a sofa and a wardrobe set the floor length and height you need. Then everything else fits around them.
Small Flats
A one bedroom flat usually fits in a short wheelbase low roof van. It is also the easiest van to park on residential streets. If you need more height, though, a short wheelbase medium roof van adds clearance on the same footprint.
Larger Homes
Two bedrooms usually need more van than people expect. A long wheelbase high roof van lets mattresses lie flat. For three or four bedrooms, meanwhile, the extra long wheelbase van gives over 4.3 metres of load length. Heavy white goods are easiest with a Luton van with tail lift.
Loading for a Home Move
Load heavy items first, low and against the bulkhead. Next, stand mattresses along the side walls. After that, stack boxes in the middle, with lighter ones on top. Fill gaps with duvets and rugs, then strap the load. Our guide to moving house van hire in Warrington covers the full plan.
After Moving Home
Once you have moved, remember to update your licence address on the official GOV.UK change your driving licence address page. Also, tell your council and utility firms about your move.
