What to Sort Before You Make Contact

Suppose you need the keys at seven for a run to the recycling centre before work. Tell the depot that when you first call, because early handovers aren't automatic at every site. Having your dates, preferred collection time and rough itinerary ready makes the conversation far quicker.

Describing Your Load Truthfully

Say you're shifting a sofa and eight boxes. Give the hire firm those actual figures, plus the heaviest item's approximate weight if you know it. Guessing optimistically leads to a van that fills halfway through loading, while overestimating can push you into paying for space you'll never use.

Cover, Deposits and Costs to Raise Early

Ask upfront what the daily rate includes and where the deposit sits, then jot the answers down. One customer might compare three firms on total cost for two days; another cares mostly about how quickly the deposit comes back. Both deserve clear numbers before committing.

Licence, Documents and a Window That Fits

Bring your driving licence and a second proof of address, and ask whether the depot wants these sighted in advance. If you're collecting at opening time, see whether documents can be checked the previous afternoon — it's often the difference between a five-minute handover and a wait.
