Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Chartham
A few details settled early make the enquiry straightforward.
Give the address
Confirm where the van should be handed over and taken back, including any eligible home or term-time address you plan to use.
Flag awkward items
Decide how every item will be handled at both ends, then include that information in the Chartham request.
Describe the carries
Mention stairs, tight doorways or long walks between room and vehicle at each end, since hand-carrying affects how you pack and load.
Measure the extremes
Note the end-to-end and floor-to-top size of your largest pieces, then check the rest of the load still fits alongside them.
Chartham van hire journey notes
Routes and access for van hire in Chartham
Use the exact Chartham address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Thannington, Harbledown, Upper Harbledown, treat those as separate destinations and identify the loading, unloading or parking point required at each one. That distinction matters for moving belongings and work equipment, because load dimensions, payload, loading order and stopping space must be assessed at the real stopping point rather than inferred from a nearby place name.

Give the full list of items, the size of the largest pieces, both handover addresses and the dates you want, plus anything fragile or awkward to load.
What happens if the van develops a problem mid-hire?
Report any fault to us immediately rather than arranging repairs yourself, so the supplier can deal with it under the rental terms.

Add up the weight of every box and item travelling together, then compare that figure with the payload stated for the group you are considering.
