The best size van to use for moving house depends on several factors, such as the volume of your belongings, the distance you need to travel, and your budget. Here are some common van sizes and their suitability for moving house which Easihire can provide for you :

  1. Small Vans: Small vans, like the Ford Transit Connect or the Volkswagen Caddy, are ideal for individuals or couples with minimal belongings or for short-distance moves. They offer good fuel efficiency and are easy to maneuver in urban areas but may not be suitable for larger households or long-distance moves.
  2. Medium Vans: Vans like the Ford Transit Custom or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (medium size) strike a good balance between cargo space and maneuverability. They are suitable for small to medium-sized households and can handle longer distances compared to smaller vans.
  3. Large Vans: If you have a larger household or a significant amount of furniture and belongings, large vans like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (large size) or the Ford Transit LWB (Long Wheelbase) provide ample cargo space. They are suitable for long-distance moves and are often preferred by families or individuals with a lot of belongings to transport.
  4. Luton Vans: Luton vans, also known as box vans, have a large enclosed cargo area over the cab. They are particularly useful for bulky items or furniture that require extra height. Luton vans are a common choice for moving house, especially when dealing with larger and more cumbersome items.
  5. Removal Trucks: For very large households or moves that involve transporting furniture and belongings for an entire family, a removal truck might be the best option. These trucks come in various sizes and can handle substantial loads. Keep in mind that you may need a special license to drive some larger trucks.

Before choosing the van size, it’s crucial to assess the volume of your belongings and estimate the space you’ll need. Additionally, consider the distance and the driving conditions, as larger vans and trucks might be more challenging to handle on narrow roads or in congested areas.

If you’re not sure about the best van size for your specific move, you can consult with a professional moving company or rental service, as they can offer guidance based on your requirements.

Depending on where you are moving to in Edinburgh, please bear in mind different restrictions for parking and bus lanes

City authorities often implement traffic restrictions and regulations to manage traffic flow, reduce pollution, and improve pedestrian safety. These restrictions might include limitations on vehicle types, access to certain areas, and specific operating hours. To find the most current and accurate information on restrictions for vans in Edinburgh city centre, I recommend checking the official website of the City of Edinburgh Council or other reputable sources for local transportation updates.
