Frequently Asked Questions
Which van size do I need for moving house?
Most home movers choose a 3.5T Luton with tail lift for space and easy loading. If you have a larger property and a pre-1997 licence, the 7.5T box van gives even more room.
Do I need a special licence?
Most vans only require a standard car licence (Category B).
Only the 7.5T box van requires a pre-1997 licence.
Can I load heavy furniture easily?
Yes. Our Luton and 7.5T vehicles include a tail lift, making it much easier to load sofas, appliances and bulky items.
Can I hire for a single day?
Absolutely. We offer affordable day hire across all DIY removal vehicles.
Do I need a credit card?
Our quote system tells you whether your chosen vehicle needs one, just enter your details and you’ll see a red “credit card required” warning next to any vehicle that requires a credit card.
