Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Istead Rise
A few early details make the rental simpler to arrange.
Your handover address
The van can be brought to an eligible home or workplace address, so set out where you would like it left and collected.
Travelling beyond the UK
If the itinerary crosses into Europe, raise this in advance, since approval must be secured before the rental covers it.
Fragile and awkward loads
List every delicate or unusually shaped piece, with its dimensions, before weighing up groups, so the comparison rests on the full inventory rather than one item.
Help at both ends
Include the practical handling plan for both addresses when describing the complete Istead Rise job.

Van Hire questions
How should I measure what needs to go in the van?
Measure the height, width and depth of each piece, note the combined weight, and record anything with an awkward shape. Give us those figures along with your intended dates so the comparison covers the whole load.
Can someone help me load and unload?
This is self-drive hire, so the lifting is yours to organise. Tell us how you plan to manage it and we can factor that into the group you look at.
What if my plans change and I need the van longer?
Get in touch as soon as you know, since an extension depends on availability and must be arranged rather than assumed. Raising it early gives the best chance of keeping the same vehicle.
