Still unsure? Describe your load when you call 020 8805 0011 and we’ll recommend the right vehicle.
Rule of thumb: If you’re questioning whether a Luton van is big enough, you probably need the 7.5-tonne truck.
Only if you passed your test before 1 January 1997. Your licence will have category C1 on the back. If you passed after 1997, you need to take a separate C1 test.
We’ll show you when you collect the truck. Takes 2 minutes to learn. Simple controls – raise, lower, fold in, fold out. Practice once and you’re confident.
Approximately 15-18 mpg depending on load and driving style. Diesel only. Return with a full tank or we charge £100 admin plus fuel cost.
Yes, 7.5T trucks can use all UK motorways. Speed limits: 60mph dual carriageways, 70mph motorways (same as cars). No lorry lane restrictions.
Not for rental use. Our trucks are hired as self-drive and don’t require driver CPC or digital tachograph cards for occasional hire.
Tail lift damage is covered by insurance (subject to excess). Don’t operate if unsure – call us for advice. Common damage: hitting lift on kerbs when driving.
Yes, professional drivers available at £180 per day. They bring full commercial licences, goods in transit insurance, and years of experience.
Approximately 200-250 packing boxes, or a complete 4-5 bedroom house including white goods, furniture, and belongings. Double what fits in a 3.5T Luton van.
Our hire includes vehicle insurance. If you’re carrying goods for customers (removals business), you need separate goods in transit insurance.
We require return to Enfield or Hertford. No one-way hire available currently.
Call AA (number in vehicle) – they’ll come out. If it’s mechanical failure (our fault), we don’t charge for downtime and can provide replacement truck if available.
Larger than a van but experienced drivers manage fine. Width 2.4m, length 7.5m overall. Can’t park in standard car parks but fine on most roads (check loading restrictions).
