Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Sandgate
A few decisions made early make the whole booking simpler to settle.
Set out the whole requirement
Set out the complete handling plan for both addresses when making the Sandgate enquiry.
Build the full enquiry
Think about what comes off first at the far end, because the last item loaded should be the first thing you need, and heavy pieces work best nearest the cab.
Different start and finish points
If you would like to hand the van back somewhere other than the collection point, mainland one-way hire can be requested and agreed separately, so raise it before the booking is finalised.
Hand-carry constraints
Narrow hallways, tight corners at the front door or a flight of stairs at either property are worth describing, since they influence the size of van and how the load is broken down.

Van Hire questions
What should I check in the written arrangement?
List everything going in the van, including packing materials and any equipment you are bringing back, and give us your best estimate of the combined weight when you enquire.
What if one item will not come apart or is very heavy?
Measure the awkward piece carefully, including its widest point, and note roughly what it weighs. Mention it when you first contact us, because a single bulky item often shapes which body style is suggested more than the rest of the load does.
Can I take a hired van into Europe?
European use must be requested and approved before booking; do not assume it is included.
