Van Hire Campbeltown

Ask About the Costs in Your First Message

Cover money early. Ask what insurance is included. Ask how large the excess sits. Query mileage, fuel and the deposit. Find out the charge for a late return. Assume windscreens and your goods are excluded until told otherwise. One message with these questions keeps the rest of the exchange short.

Give the Day More Hours Than It Seems to Need

The booking clock starts at collection, not at your first job. Build in the drive to the depot. Allow for paperwork and the walk-round. Loading takes longer than planned. So does unloading. If a second day looks likely, say so at the outset. Extensions agreed late may not be possible.

Name the Driver and Describe Both Addresses

Give the driver's licence details early. Note any endorsements or a licence issued abroad. Be honest about their comfort with big vehicles. Then describe each address. Tight gateways, height barriers, long carries from parking. On a delivery with tricky access, such details often decide the recommended size.

Measure the Load Before You Pick a Van

Write an inventory. Measure the longest, tallest and least cooperative items. Weight matters as much as length. A bay of books or tiles can hit the limit while looking half empty. Count straps and blankets as cargo too. Where two sizes cope, choose the roomier one.
