A moving van is a spacious, easy-to-drive commercial vehicle perfect for moving house, transporting large furniture, or making commercial deliveries. They are ideal for moving bulky items that won’t fit in a regular car.
Most moving vans available for hire, like the one from Alpha Car Hire, can be driven with a standard Australian car licence, as their weight is typically under the limit that requires a special licence.
The size of the van you need depends on the amount of stuff you’re moving. A spacious van with a cargo capacity of around 5.2m³ is suitable for most small-to-medium moves. If you’re moving a larger home, you may need to make multiple trips or consider a bigger vehicle.
The cost of van hire varies depending on the rental duration (hourly, daily, weekly), the type of van, and the location. Prices generally include standard insurance and a kilometre allowance, with additional charges for extra kilometres. It’s best to get a quote directly from the rental company.
When comparing companies, consider transparent pricing with no hidden fees, the size and features of their fleet, and customer reviews. Also, look for companies that offer flexible rental periods and convenient pick-up/drop-off locations.
Standard insurance with a high excess is usually included in the hire price. Most companies offer optional excess reduction packages for an additional fee to lower your liability in case of an accident.
One-way van hire is available with some companies, but it’s important to check availability and potential one-way fees. You should contact the rental company directly to confirm availability and rates between your desired pick-up and drop-off locations.
You will need a valid driver’s licence and a credit or debit card for the payment and security deposit. The card must be in the name of the primary driver.
Yes, roadside assistance is generally included in moving van hire agreements. This provides support for mechanical breakdowns but may not cover driver-caused issues like running out of fuel or locking keys in the car. It’s important to understand the specifics of your rental agreement.
