Rent a van in London with Europcar

So you’ve finally got round to clearing out the loft, or the shed, or the garage, or all three! And you’ve got a mountain of stuff to take to the tip. Or you bought the kids that trampoline you’ve been promising them, only it won’t fit in the car to get it home. That’s where Europcar van hire comes in – with our handy van rental you can transport your load across London or further afield.

With four van hire stations across the capital and flexible short and long term rental options you’re sure to find a deal to suit you.

Moving home in London

Packing up your whole home into a van can be daunting so we’ve put together a handy packing guide to help make sure your belongings are all stowed safely and securely for the journey. After all, you don’t want to get to your new home and find your precious favourite lamp broken or a box of smashed plates!

If you’re a first-time mover, or if you just haven’t done it for a while, you might find our hints and tips on planning a move useful.

Once you’ve managed to fit all your belongings in the van, the next challenge is driving it across London! Don’t be nervous – just follow a few golden rules:

• Plan your route in advance and ensure it avoids any roads unsuitable for large vehicles.
• If you’re planning a stop-off, beware of car parks with low entrances.
• Allow extra space for turning and parking.
• Slow down, particularly in windy conditions if you’re driving a high sided vehicle.
• Allow extra space for braking in a fully loaded van.
• You may not a have a rear view mirror, or your rear view may be obscured by your load, in which case you will need to rely on your wing mirrors.

So now it’s time to get on the road and enjoy the trip!
