Let’s compare the options:
Here are the advantages of a self-drive van or using your own car:
• Flexibility when to move items within the time you have hired the van.
• Peace of mind in knowing you have packed your items yourself and will move them safely.
• Usually cheaper to move the items yourself if you only have a few items to move.
• You’re avoiding any problems with trying to book a man with a van at the last minute.
• You can check YouTube for the best way to pack glassware or other fragile items.
Advantages of hiring a van and a man (or woman):
Of course there are various factors that would also affect your decision eg. how many boxes or items to be moved, the distance of the new location and the size of van needed and how confident you are in driving and parking a larger vehicle than any cars. (Usually you have to be between 21 and 75 years of age with a full and clean UK driving licence to hire a self-drive van).
Some van service providers will also be able to offer storage facilities.
If you would like to speak to reliable and trustworthy local firms about their services, we can recommend Your Van Service and easyStorage both of whom are also members of thebestof Hertford and Ware. They have many great reviews from their customers (as can be seen on their profile pages here and here) and are happy to answer your questions.
We hope this guide helps you make the a decision that’s right for you.
