Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Maidstone
A short summary of what's moving helps identify a van that suits both the boxes and the furniture.
Group items by fragility
Keep breakables such as picture frames, lamps or crockery boxes apart from heavier furniture so they can be positioned without pressure from other items.
Match dimensions to the largest piece
A dressing table or sideboard sets the minimum load height needed, so measure it before comparing panel and Luton options.
Think about lift height
A tail-lift Luton can lower heavy furniture to ground level mechanically rather than requiring it to be carried up steps into the van.
Account for total volume
Boxes alone can fill a smaller van before furniture is added, so a rough count of boxes plus furniture pieces gives a clearer picture.

Van Hire questions
How many boxes fit in a standard panel van before I need something larger?
It depends on box size and what furniture travels alongside them. Tell us an approximate count and the furniture list and we can suggest whether a panel van or a larger model suits better.
Can a hired van make a stop at a storage facility during my move?
Yes, tell us about any storage leg when you book. Aylesford Self Storage, for example, lists both yard-container storage and an indoor facility, though whether a hired vehicle can access a particular unit is something to confirm with the storage provider directly.
Does van hire extend beyond Maidstone town itself?
Yes, separate pages exist for other Kent locations, and you're welcome to enquire about any eligible address you have in mind alongside Maidstone.
