Van sizes in Glasgow, a simple guide
Quick answer
Not sure what size van you need in Glasgow? As a rough guide, a small van suits a few boxes or a single item, a long wheelbase van suits a studio or one bed flat, and a Luton van suits a bigger flat or a small house. The good news is you don't have to guess. Tell us what's moving and we'll bring the right van and the right number of movers. It starts from £50 an hour. Call 07713 199 263.
Picking a van size sounds simple until you're stood in the flat wondering if it'll all fit. Too small and you're doing two trips. Too big and you're paying for fresh air.
Here's a plain guide to the usual van sizes, what each one holds, and how to choose. And if you book us, you don't need to work it out yourself. We'll bring the right van.

Small van, long wheelbase or Luton? A simple guide to van sizes for moves across Glasgow.
A rough guide to the common van sizes and what each one holds.
A few boxes, a single item or a marketplace pickup. Think a small sofa or a chest of drawers.
A studio flat or a big single item run. Boxes, a bed and a bit of furniture.
A one bed flat's worth: bed, sofa, wardrobe, white goods and boxes.
A bigger flat or a small house. The tail lift helps with heavy items and appliances.
Only half a van's worth? A part load shares the space and keeps the cost down.
The van's only half the job. We bring one or two movers to load and carry too.
With us, you're not hiring an empty van to drive yourself. You get a van, a driver and movers, priced by the hour, so the size is matched to the job.
Getting the size right first time saves you money, because there's no second trip. Tell us what's moving and we'll match the van and the crew.
Tell us what's moving and we bring the right van and crew. No guesswork, no wasted trips.
Count the big items first: beds, sofas, wardrobes, white goods. Then add rough boxes. A photo of each room helps us pick the right van in one go.
Too small and it's two trips and more hours. Too big isn't a problem with us, since you pay by the hour and not by van size, but the right van still makes loading quicker.
We're across the city and the wider Greater Glasgow area.

Glasgow is full of tenement flats, so stairs and shared closes are normal for us. Tell us the floor and whether there's a lift. For city centre jobs we plan around the Low Emission Zone and parking, so the van is legal and close to the door.
There are two ways to get a van. Here's the honest difference.
You hire an empty van and do all the lifting and driving yourself. Cheaper on paper, but you're the muscle, and you carry the risk if something's damaged.
You get the van, the driver and the movers, in the right size for the job. It costs a bit more than an empty van, but the lifting, driving and care are done for you. See our man and van hire in Glasgow page.
