Van Hire St Ippolyts

Let the Load Lead the Way

Start with what you're carrying, not with the van itself. Twelve boxes of shop stock fit in a compact panel; a sofa and a washing machine call for a longer body with real headroom. Sketch the load on paper first, then match it to a body size.

Think About Who Holds the Keys

Work out who will be driving. A one-person job keeps things simple, but if a mate might share the run to the tip or a colleague needs to move the van mid-afternoon, say so upfront. Extra drivers usually cost more, and paperwork goes quicker when everyone's listed early.

Look Closely at Both Doorsteps

An early start can transform a moving day. If you'd like the van by seven to load before work, ask whether an early handover is possible — it depends on the branch and isn't guaranteed. Equally, check where you leave the keys afterwards: same site, or somewhere else?

Sort the Duration and the Documents Together

Be honest about timescales. A weekend flat move might stretch into Monday if the lift breaks, so ask about extending mid-hire rather than guessing. Then gather documents early: your driving licence, proof of address and a payment card in your own name. Doing both in one sitting saves a scramble later.
