Benefits of Hiring a Van for Stockport Removals
17-02-2015
When you’re moving house, one of the biggest decisions you have to make is how you’re going to shift all your stuff.
Do you hire a removals company or should you attempt a do-it-yourself move?
There are many benefits that come with a DIY removal – the biggest of course is the ability to save money on your relocation (potentially hundreds of pounds).
If you’re moving house in Stockport and want to know the benefits of hiring a van then read on…
Cost effective
For movers on a tight budget, hiring a van is without a doubt the most cost effective and efficient way to move your possessions. After making such a large purchase such as a new house or flat, most people simply don’t have the funds to throw at a full-service removals firm. Since you won't have to pay movers to do all the work for you, you can relax in the knowledge that you have a few extra pounds to spend on your new place.
You’re in charge
Hiring a van means that you are completely in charge of your move without the constraints of a removal company. You can decide who handles your belongings, how they are packed and where they go - no need to question why the moving service put the sofa in your bedroom!
Do it in your own time
When you hire a van from 7 Ways Rental, you will benefit from a completely flexible service, which will allow you to move whenever you like. With hire available in blocks of 24 hours and up to 4 years you can move at a time that is convenient to you. With no set schedule to adhere to, you have the freedom to take your time packing and do multiple journeys at no extra cost.
Other things to consider…
- Van size - For small flat moves, consider the Ford Transit LWB to get the job done in one go. Larger house moves will be more suited to one of our Luton vans with a tail lift. If you’re moving alone then consider a medium sized van such as the Ford Transit MWB.
- Equipment and supplies – You’ll need plenty of bubble wrap, strong boxes, chair covers, furniture pads, and packing tape.
- When to reserve – We can often provide our customers with same-day hire, but if you want to give yourself peace of mind, book your 7 Ways Rental at least a week before the date you intend to move.
- Sack trucks – We also offer our customers sack truck hire to help with their move. Ideal if you’re shifting heavy boxes or bits of furniture.
While there’s no doubt that DIY requires more work, it is the ideal choice for those looking for a more efficient and cost effective move.
