Before you book your van rental in Bristol or elsewhere, it’s helpful to know what different types of vans are available and what each will hold. Here’s what you need to know:
The different van types
1-Small vans have two seats and a capacity of about 2.3 – 3.3m3. They will fit in smaller items such as a single dishwasher or washing machine, up to 13 medium boxes or an armchair. They are great for smaller, economical jobs and they save money compared to a larger van where the full capacity just isn’t needed.
2-Medium vans have 3 seats and a capacity of 5 – 6.5m3. These are great for moving up to 26 boxes at once, such as if you are moving a student room between home and university.
3-A large van also has three seats but the capacity goes up to 11.3m3. They are a great choice for moving the contents of smaller flats or bedsits, or around 45 medium boxes in one move.
4-An extra large van has three seats but up to 14m3 capacity. This can handle the contents of a two-bed house or flat or the equivalent of 60 medium boxes.
5-The next level up is a Luton van, which has three seats and 17.3m3 of space. This is enough to move a three-bed house or flat or 70 medium boxes. find out more at: https://www.autolynecarvanrental.co.uk/van-hire-bristol.
6-And at the highest end of the scale, there is a Luton lift, which has the same capacity inside but a tail-lift, making it suitable for heavier furniture items.
