Hiring a Luton Van

Hiring a Luton van can be a practical and convenient way to move home. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your Luton van rental:

  1. Choose the right size Luton van for your needs. Consider the amount of furniture and other belongings you need to move to determine the appropriate size. A Luton van is generally a good choice for larger moves as they have a spacious box body and tail lift, which can make loading and unloading easier.
  2. Book the van well in advance to ensure availability. Luton vans are a popular choice for home moves, so it’s best to book early to avoid disappointment.
  3. Inspect the van before you drive off. Check for any damage to the van and make sure the lights, brakes, and other essential features are working correctly.
  4. Secure your belongings properly. Use straps, blankets, and other equipment to prevent items from shifting during transit, which can cause damage.
  5. Drive safely and responsibly. Luton vans can be heavier and wider than regular cars, so take extra care on the road. Make sure you’re familiar with the van’s controls before setting off and be mindful of height restrictions.
  6. Return the van in the same condition you received it. Make sure the van is clean and undamaged when you return it to avoid additional charges.
  7. Finally, don’t forget to fill up the tank before returning the van. Make sure you return the van with a full tank of fuel, as some rental companies may charge an additional fee if you don’t.

how do I drive a Luton van safely

Driving a Luton van can be a bit different from driving a regular car, but with some preparation and attention to detail, you can drive it safely. Here are some tips to help you drive a Luton van safely:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the van. Before driving the van, make sure you’re comfortable with its controls, including the pedals, gear stick, and mirrors. Take some time to adjust your seat and mirrors to ensure that you have good visibility.
  2. Adjust your driving style. Luton vans are generally larger and heavier than regular cars, so it’s important to adjust your driving style accordingly. Drive more slowly than you would in a car, especially when turning or changing lanes. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and avoid sudden stops or turns.
  3. Be aware of the van’s dimensions. Luton vans are generally taller and wider than regular cars, so be aware of height restrictions and make sure you have enough clearance when driving under bridges or through tunnels. Be mindful of the van’s width, especially when navigating narrow streets or lanes.
  4. Use the mirrors. Luton vans have larger mirrors than regular cars, which can help you see more of your surroundings. Make sure to use your mirrors to check your blind spots, especially when changing lanes or turning.
  5. Secure your load. Make sure your load is properly secured before driving off. Use straps, ropes, or bungee cords to keep your belongings in place and prevent them from shifting during transit.
  6. Take care when parking. Luton vans can be more challenging to park than regular cars. Look for a parking space that’s large enough to accommodate the van and be prepared to use reverse gear and/or a spotter if necessary.
  7. Finally, take breaks when necessary. Driving a Luton van can be tiring, especially if you’re moving a lot of heavy items. Take breaks when necessary to rest and refocus and stay hydrated to maintain your energy levels.
