your reason for hiring a van, holiday
autos
recommends you review their tips, guidance and recommendations to ensure your
van hire rental is as simple, trouble free and enjoyable as possible. Selecting
your van: •Remember
to measure the height of the objects that you wish to transport as well as the
width and ensure that the van type you choose will be sufficient to accommodate
these objects.
•Always remember to check how many people you need to help lift the contents into
the van and ensure there are enough seats to accommodate everyone! Every passenger
must have a seat and seat belt. And extra passengers can never be transported
in the back of the van •Ask
advice about driving the van, particularly if it's your first time driving a van
or a diesel engine. You may need to use more power when in lower gears and depending
on your van type you may be able to get into higher gears faster. Your rental
agent will be able to advise you on the safest way to drive your van and if you
are unsure at any point, why not ask if the rental agent has enough time to drive
round the block with you before you start your journey. Driving
your van: •Make
sure that you have adjusted your van seat for your comfort and ensure that you
are wearing suitable footwear. You need to wear something that is both comfortable
to drive in and also is suitable for whatever you are using the van for.
•While
you may have adjusted your rear view mirror while the van is empty, you also may
want to check it again when you have filled the van up. •Take
notice of any road restriction notices such as such as low bridges or even weight
controlled streets whilst driving.
•Make
sure that you are fully aware of the height and width of your van, especially
when driving near low bridges, car parks, motorway toll booths and low hanging
trees. •While
vans have more powerful engines than most cars, they are also heavier. This can
affect the braking distances (especially when fully loaded) so avoid stopping
abruptly and be especially aware of blind spots when changing lanes. •Your
van is longer and wider than a car so will need a wider turning radius. It would
be sensible to make turns much more slowly and always use your mirrors to help
you when reversing.
Parking
your van: •It
is worth ensuring that the area where you are driving to and parking your van
has ample space for your van.
•Make sure your van is locked and the contents secure when
you are not in the vehicle. •Be
aware of any parking restrictions and if you are travelling through or across
London you might be liable for the congestion charge – it's worth checking before
you leave.
•Please
make sure that you know how far your van doors open before you park your van. Make
your van hire experience as easy as possible: Just
remember these 5 general van hire driving advice tips for a hassle free journey
1.Plan
your journey and allow enough time to get to your final destination – use the
holiday autos route planner to help you map out the fastest or shortest route

in wet, windy or icy conditions will require a lot more concentration. 3.Check
