Tips for Choosing the Right Van for Your Needs


Moving house or transporting large items can be a stressful experience, but choosing the right van can make all the difference. At Hometown Vehicle Hire, we offer a range of reliable vans to suit your needs, from smaller moves to full house relocations. Here's a guide to help you choose the perfect van for your next project:


Small Wheelbase Vans:

Our small wheelbase vans are ideal for:

  • Smaller moves: Perfect for transporting items from a studio flat, student accommodation, or smaller loads.

  • Single item transport: Moving furniture, appliances, or other bulky items.

  • Quick deliveries: Efficient for businesses needing to transport smaller goods.

These vans offer excellent manoeuvrability, making them easy to navigate through city streets and tight parking spaces.


Long Wheelbase Vans:

Our Long Wheelbase vans provide extra cargo space, making them suitable for:

  • Larger moves than a small wheelbase but smaller than a full house move.

  • Transporting longer items that may not fit in a small wheelbase van.

  • Larger deliveries for businesses.

These vans offer a good balance between manoeuvrability and cargo capacity.


Luton Vans:

Our Luton vans are the go-to choice for:

  • Full house moves: Designed to handle larger volumes of furniture and belongings, ideal for larger homes.

  • Moving bulky items: The extra height and length of a Luton van provide ample space for large or unusually shaped items.

  • Commercial use: Suitable for businesses requiring significant cargo space.

A key feature of our Luton vans is the tail lift. This makes loading and unloading heavy items significantly easier and safer, reducing the risk of injury and saving you valuable time and effort.


Which Van is Right for You?

Consider the following factors when choosing your van:

  • The volume of items you need to move: For smaller loads, a small wheelbase van is sufficient. For larger moves or multiple rooms of furniture, a Luton van is the better choice.

  • The size and weight of your items: Consider the dimensions of your largest items to ensure they will fit comfortably in the van. Remember, our Luton vans come equipped with a tail lift for heavier items.

  • Your driving experience: If you're not comfortable driving a larger vehicle, a small wheelbase van might be a better option.
