A Handy Guide to Hiring a Man and Van

There are so many options out there on the market that you can sometimes feel completely saturated for choice and it’s impossible to know who to go for and who not to go for. However there are plenty of ways to get help and ways to choose the right options for you and your individual moving needs so there is no need to make a rushed decision and instead you can be clear and informed. Do Your ResearchThere are plenty of man and van hire services available that all seem to offer the same thing for similar prices so doing your research into local firms is absolutely essential to see what’s out there, exactly what they offer and of course at what price. Getting quotes as early on in the process is a great way to set hiring a removals service in motion Reviews and ReputationThis is one of the easiest and most obvious ways of checking if a removals service is legitimate and right for you. A great way to do this is to speak to friends, families and colleagues and find out their own experiences with local man and van services and by doing this you can determine whether they’re the right service for you and whether to trust them with your move or not. If you don’t have friends or family close by who have moved then another great way to gauge how reputable a firm is, is by checking their reviews on the internet and seeing what other people have experienced with their service.

The things to look for are reliability, efficiency and customer service. If a removals company has good reviews online then it’s likely a safe bet for your own move. Packing ServicesA good man and van service should be able to offer you helpful and useful advice with regards to packing. It’s unlikely you have a lot of experience in packing for a large scale move, whereas they will have plenty so it’s always good to ask them and find out what you should be doing and the best way to do it.

A good man and van service will also be able to take your possessions and load and unload them from the removals vehicle in such a way that ensures their safety and will make sure they won’t become damaged. That way your possessions should arrive in great condition at your new property. Storage SolutionsYour man and van service will be able to offer you help with storage solutions, something which can be a hugely daunting task for movers simply because there is so much choice available and seemingly so little difference between what they can all offer. You should be advised about location because it is usually cheaper if you get storage which is less centrally located but this may not be a good option for you. You should also be advised about and aware of the different costs and payment plans. It’s always worth asking for a cost breakdown so that you can see exactly what you’ll be paying for which is especially important during the crucially expensive time of moving house. Moving DayOn moving day your man and van service will be the saving grace! Everything should run smoothly and efficiently, they should be able to remove all your boxes and furniture, dis-assembling things as needs be and loading it all carefully and securely in the van. All you should need to do is meet them there and get prepared for some serious unpacking!
