The first few weeks of the year are quietly one of the most useful times to hire a van, and January van hire in Warrington tends to be easier to arrange than at the busier points of the calendar. With the rush of December behind everyone, January is when people finally tackle the jobs that built up over the festive period, from clearing out what is no longer needed to moving home on an early completion. For straightforward van hire in Warrington at the start of the year, the depot at Cockhedge has the fleet and the flexibility to fit around whatever the new year has you planning.
Why January Suits a Hire Van
January throws up a particular set of jobs. The aftermath of Christmas leaves a surprising amount to shift, whether that is recycling the mountain of packaging, taking unwanted gifts and old furniture to be sold or donated, or running a proper post-festive declutter to the tip. It is also a common month for house moves, with completions that were lined up before the holidays finally going through, and for businesses resetting stock and clearing premises ready for the year ahead. Hiring a van for these one-off tasks is far more sensible than owning a vehicle that would sit idle for the rest of the year, and the quieter start to the year often makes it easier to get the dates you want. If your January job is mainly a clear-out, our post on the new year clear out goes into that in more detail.
Choosing the Right Van for a New Year Job
The right vehicle depends on what you are moving. For a full house move or a large business clear-out, the extra long wheelbase van and its 4.3 metre load length lets you do the job in one trip rather than several, which matters on a short winter day when the light goes early. For heavier or more awkward single items, such as machinery, a mobility vehicle or something low that cannot be lifted easily, the Luton low loader van earns its place. With more than seventy vans across seven body types on the fleet we can match the vehicle to the task, and every one sits within 3.5 tonnes so an ordinary category B car licence covers you to drive it.
Booking Around the Quieter Season
Because the new year is a calmer period for van hire than the run-up to Christmas, January is a good time to plan ahead and lock in the dates and the vehicle you want. It is worth checking the van hire special offers page for anything current before you book. Our depot sits centrally at Cockhedge, by the main entrance to the shopping centre and Asda, so collection is easy whether you are in the town centre or coming in from somewhere like Astley van hire or Golborne van hire. There is no deposit to find on most of the fleet and secure on-site car parking while the van is out.
Planning the Job Around Our Hours
We are open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 4pm and closed on Sundays, which suits an early start on a moving or clearance day when you want to make the most of the daylight. Bring your photocard driving licence and your DVLA check code when you collect so we can confirm your entitlement and get you on the road quickly. Whether the new year job is a house move, a business reset or simply finally clearing the space you have been meaning to sort, a hired van takes the strain out of moving the bulky things that will not fit in a car.
