Off to University

Moving your son/daughter to their university is an exciting and important milestone, but it can also be a challenging and stressful time. One of the biggest challenges is figuring out how to transport all of their belongings to university. Hiring a small van from Easihire Wolverhampton is a practical and affordable solution to this problem.

In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about hiring a small van to move your son to university.

  1. Choosing the Right Van:

The first step in hiring a small van is to choose the right van for your needs. Some popular options for small vans include the Peugeot Partner, or Vauxhall Combo. When choosing a van, consider the following factors:

  • Size: Make sure the van is the right size for your needs. You will need enough space to transport all of your son’s belongings, but you don’t want to pay for more space than you need.
  • Payload Capacity: Check the payload capacity of the van to ensure it can carry all of your son’s belongings.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Look for a van with good fuel efficiency to save money on gas.
  • Rental Cost: Compare rental costs for different vans to find the best deal.
  • Booking the Van:

Once you have chosen the right van, it’s time to book it. Make sure to book the van well in advance to ensure availability. You can book the van online or over the phone, and you will need to provide information such as your name, contact information, rental period, and driver’s license information. You may also need to provide a deposit or credit card information to secure the rental.

  • Preparing for the Move:

Before moving day, there are several things you can do to prepare for the move. Some tips include:

  • Packing: Make sure to pack all of your son’s belongings securely in boxes and label them clearly.
  • Loading: Load the heaviest items first and distribute the weight evenly throughout the van.
  • Driving: If you are not used to driving a van, take some time to practice before the move. Make sure to also plan your route and allow extra time for unexpected delays.
  • Insurance: Make sure the van is properly insured before the move. Check with the rental company to see if they offer insurance or if you need to purchase your own.
  • Returning the Van: After the move, you will need to return the van to the rental company. Make sure to return the van on time and in the same condition as when you rented it. You may also need to fill up the gas tank and clean the van before returning it. Check with the rental company for specific instructions on returning the van.

Conclusion:

Hiring a small van is a practical and affordable solution for moving your child to university. When choosing a van, consider factors such as size, payload capacity, fuel efficiency, and rental cost. Book the van well in advance and prepare for the move by packing, loading, and planning your route. Make sure the van is properly insured before the move and return it on time and in the same condition as when you rented it.
