Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Dover
A few details shape which van makes sense for a collection run.
Plan the loading order
Decide what goes into the van first and last, and check the access to the load so heavy pieces can be positioned safely rather than moved twice.
Consider hand-carry constraints
Note any stairs, tight doorways or lifts between the item and the van, and describe them in your enquiry so the whole handling task is understood.
Measure the extremes
Record the length, width and height of your longest and tallest pieces, then add up the complete load rather than judging by one item alone.
Flag fragile pieces
Use the complete Dover item list and handling plan when asking the team to compare representative van groups.

Van Hire questions
What should I include when I make an enquiry?
Give the full address for delivery, the intended dates, a list of everything you plan to move with rough dimensions and combined weight, plus how many people will travel and how you intend to load and unload.
Can the van be handed over at one mainland address and finished at another?
Mainland one-way hire can be arranged, and it should be raised when you enquire so the start and finish addresses are agreed individually for your booking.
Will I get the exact van model shown on the site?
Vehicle examples are shown as or similar, meaning the group is what you are booking rather than a guaranteed make or model, and the exact vehicle is recorded with your booking.
