First Time Warrington Van Hire Guide
What kind of van do I need?
5 main sizes of van are in use by van rental companies. All can be driven with a standard UK car driving licence.
- Small vans (1.7m long x49m wide x 1.2m high)
- Medium (short wheelbase) vans (2.4m long x7m wide x 1.4m-1.65m high)
- Large (long wheelbase) vans (3.5-4m long x7m wide x 1.7m high)
- Extra-long wheelbase vans (4-5m long x7m wide x 1.8m high)
- Luton (box) vans (4m long x 2m wide x 2.2m high)
The width is going to be less at the rear wheel arches, except for Luton vans, which are a box shape with wheels mounted below the body.
To work out what space you need, measure the largest object you will carry then think about what will have to fit around it.
Loading a hire van
- Pack carefully. Heavy items at the bottom of boxes and lighter ones on top – that way, the boxes won’t break as you lift them.
- Wrap fragile items in newspaper or bubble wrap.
- Protect your furniture with old sheets or blankets.
- Drawers can be filled up – but make sure they don’t fall out when driving!
- Use straps to tie large items to the side of the van. If it can move, it will.
