Truck Hire Crewkerne

Decide What You Are Moving

Start with the object itself. If that means a single bulky item — say a wardrobe bought second-hand — measure its height, width and depth, and weigh it honestly. One awkward piece often dictates the truck size more than a dozen smaller boxes, so record the awkward bits first.

Decide Who Holds the Wheel

Next, decide on the driver before the vehicle. Read the licence yourself and check it is current and valid. A truck handles differently from a car, so pick someone comfortable with the extra size. If a second person will share the wheel, name them on the booking from the start.

Decide Which Cost Questions to Ask

Your third decision is which questions to ask, and cost comes near the top of the list. In writing, before anything is agreed, ask about insurance, the excess, the deposit, how mileage is charged and how fuel should be returned. Written answers also make two quotations easy to compare properly.

Decide the Dates and Send One Message

Finally, fix the dates. Commit to times you will keep, counting loading, travel and the return, not just the driving. The truck you are offered is not reserved until the booking is complete and could already be taken, so enquire early and send one well-ordered message.
