The Benefits Of Moving Van Rental

30 Nov The Benefits Of Moving Van Rental

Often, when moving home, it isn’t until they start packing their belongings into boxes that homeowners realise just how much they have to pack. At this time, there will typically be some discussions about whether they need to book removal services or a man with a van. It can be tempting to just use your own car on moving day in an attempt to save some money, but this can cause a whole host of problems when trying to get everything that you own from A to B. 

For anyone who is trying to find a budget-friendly solution for moving day, it’s worth looking into van rental in more detail. Renting a van for a day can be relatively inexpensive and there are so many advantages to having a van to help you transport your belongings. Below we have listed some of the biggest benefits of moving van rental. 

Make moving home more convenient 

Moving day can be very stressful and if you plan on doing multiple trips in one car to get everything from your old house to your new home, this can make things even more stressful. There is a high chance that you will get stuck in traffic when driving back and forth, and you may need to do several more trips than you initially thought. 

When you rent a moving van, you can simply do one trip. The van will have plenty of space for you to transport all of your belongings at the same time and once you’ve arrived at your new home, you can start unpacking without having to worry about going back to your old house for more boxes. Knowing that you only have to do one trip will give you one less thing to worry about on moving day and it can help to prevent unnecessary stress. 

Less expensive than removal services 

As mentioned above, people often disregard removal services because they can be quite expensive and moving home already costs a lot of money. However, moving van rental doesn’t cost a fortune and you may be surprised by just how affordable renting a van can be. 

Local car and van rental companies provide competitive pricing and they will offer you the best deal possible on the van you need. Whether you can fit all of your belongings into a Ford Transit Custom or you’re going to need a bigger Ford Transit LWB Hi-Roof, it will be more cost-effective to rent a van than book a comprehensive removal service. 

Flexible rental periods

Commonly, when renting a van for moving day, homeowners will simply rent the van they need for one day. However, you have the option to rent a van for longer if you would like to. For example, you could rent a van for 3 days, so you can start loading your belongings the day before moving day and continue unloading the day after. This will take some of the pressure off of your shoulders and help to prevent delays on moving day. 

It is really easy to rent a moving van too and you can use an online booking system to choose the vehicle you’d like quickly and efficiently. Lots of rental companies also offer collection and drop-off services, so you won’t even have to go to the rental centre. 

Keep your belongings safe in transit 

Depending on the size of your moving boxes, you may struggle to fit them into your car boot and even if you put your back seats down, it might be difficult to fit everything into your car. Attempting to squeeze things into your car or strapping things to the roof will probably result in them getting broken, especially if you have fragile items in your boxes. 

Simply renting a van will prevent any concerns about your belongings making it from A to B in one piece. You can neatly and securely load everything into the van, and have peace of mind knowing that things are less likely to get damaged or broken in transit.
