In Réunion, the right van saves time and saves you going back and forth. You still have to get it right: too small and you end up doing several trips; too big and you pay, and manoeuvre, for nothing. Here is how to match the volume to your job.
The right volumeChoose by what you are loading
From the small panel van (around 6 to 8 m³) for a few boxes or some equipment, to the large 12 to 17 m³ panel van with tail lift for a full house move, by way of the tipper for clearing rubble and green waste or the refrigerated van for the cold chain: every job has its format. Our range of vans for hire in Réunion covers these needs, with air conditioning and unlimited mileage.
Use casesHouse move, site work, delivery
For a house move, allow plenty of room: a studio fits into a 10-12 m³, while a two-bedroom flat is better suited to the 17 m³ with tail lift, so you can load white goods without wrecking your back. For site work, the tipper makes clearing easy; for delivery, a nimble panel van is enough in town. Not sure? Our teams at the branch will point you to the right size for the volume you actually have.
Before you hireOur tips
A standard category B licence is enough up to 3,5 tonnes (the vast majority of vans). Check the height (car parks, gates) and whether there is a tail lift if you are loading heavy items on your own. Book early during the moving season, and bring straps and blankets. Everything comes with unlimited mileage, ideal for stringing trips together around the island.
