What size van do I need?
Room count is only a starting point. Load volume, bulky items, load length and payload are what matter.

Before booking
Four decisions are enough to get started
You do not need to read every guide. Check only the points that actually matter for your trip.
02 · Budget
What does the rental really cost?
Do not compare the day rate alone. Add base rental, mileage, fuel, protection and possible extra charges.
03 · Tariff
Which rental type fits my trip?
Rental duration, one-way rental and mileage allowances can change the total more than the advertised base rate.
04 · Pick-up
Am I allowed to drive and what do I need?
Check driving-licence law and rental-company rules separately: minimum age, licence holding period, deposit, credit card and additional drivers may depend on the tariff.
