Frequently asked questions
Short and clear answers
What size van is sensible for a two-room home?+
A two-room home often falls between a medium and long van, but furniture, box count, storage and bulky extras can move the estimate up or down.
What van fits a 50 or 60 m² home?+
Floor area alone is not enough. Depending on furnishing, a medium or long van may fit; a full household with storage can require more.
What van fits an 80 m² home?+
Around 80 m² can range from a long van to a box van or larger. Inventory and whether multiple trips are acceptable matter more than floor area alone.
How much fits in a Sprinter?+
It depends on the exact version. Large vans in the Sprinter class are often roughly in the 10 to 15 m³ range.
Do I always need a 7.5-ton truck for four rooms?+
No. Room count is only a guide. A box van or multiple trips may be enough for a compact household.
