Choosing the right van saves you time and money. Here's a quick guide to what fits.
Picking the right van is the easiest way to keep your move quick and your price low. Too small and you're paying for a second trip; too big and you're paying for space you don't fill. Use the guide below to match your move, or just tell us what you're shifting and we'll recommend the right vehicle.
Best for: single items, a few boxes, small deliveries.
Roughly the size of a car boot × 3. Ideal for studio moves and parcels.
Best for: studio or 1-bed flat, white goods, small furniture.
A short-wheelbase Transit-style van, the most popular choice.
Best for: 1–2 bed home, sofas, wardrobes, appliances.
A long-wheelbase van with extra height and load space.
Best for: 2–3 bed home, full house moves.
Box body with a tail-lift for heavy or bulky furniture.
Best for: larger homes within a short distance.
Sometimes two trips in a Luton is cheaper than a 7.5t lorry.
We'll advise. Tell us your inventory and we'll recommend the right size.
Getting it right first time avoids a wasted trip.
