Measure the Job Before You Name a Vehicle

Start with the load, not the lorry. Work out what needs moving — twenty folding tables, a small marquee, crates of stock — then match it against payload and deck space. If your event spans two sites, decide whether one steady journey beats two hurried ones, and note any narrow gateways.

Give the Two Handovers Room to Breathe

Both handovers — collection and return — deserve slack in the timetable. Collecting mid-morning for an afternoon event lets you load without rushing, while returning next morning may suit a late finish. An hour's buffer either side keeps a small delay from throwing the whole day off course.

Ask About Money and Cover Before You Collect

Settle the numbers while you still have choices. Ask what the quoted figure includes — mileage, fuel, any extras such as a tail-lift — and what happens if the job overruns. Read the cover terms too, particularly the excess and what a claim would involve, so no surprise lands on the day.

Fix the Driving Line-Up at Home, Not at the Desk

Decide who takes the wheel before you leave home. If two of you will share the driving, both need adding to the paperwork in advance, which usually means a little admin per extra driver. Arriving at the counter with that settled keeps collection brisk and calm.
