Have you been planning a long road trip with your best of friends for a while, but got no car? Don’t worry you have come to the right place. Here you will find a way to fulfil that wish without burning your pockets.
With the global pandemic, people started getting tighter around their pockets. And there is no way, anyone can buy a car just for short temporary pleasure: You hire.
Introduction for car rental
That’s right, it can be a pain but not if you know where to look. There are lot of car rental websites that give cheap car or van for hire. But, a lot can go wrong with car rental. For instance, the company may charge way too much in the name of car rental, or the customer may choose the wrong car. Like, going for a road trip with lots of baggage and getting SWB (Small Wheel Based) vanfor hire instead of LWB (Long Wheel Based) van. It is a recipe for disaster as SWB vans are more for sporty feel without much space to keep things.
So, bear in mind the purpose of car/van before renting it.
SWB van hire vs LWB van hire.
As seen in introduction, there are two broad categories of van for renting. It differs from the center point of front wheel to the center point of rear wheel. Lets’ look more into them-
SWB van-
- Vans under these categories are used for smooth and flexible driving.
- It is best for sharp, 3-point turns, narrow lane or busy traffic.
- Making a three-point turns even in sharp corners means is due to firm and short wheel base.
- It gives a sporty feel due to the tight turns and breaks staying in automatic form longer than long wheel base.
LWB van-
- Driving conditions are even due to longer wheel base from front to rear wheel, thus when the car hits the bump, it will take some time for rear wheel after the front.
- Extra comfortable space either for more people to fit in or to keep extra luggage.
- Usage of less fuel, as the driving and steering is smooth with no sporty feel.
- The LWB vans are best to shift from one to place and not drive in narrow lanes.
And to transport loads?
To transport large goods and product, a Luton van is hired. It is largest type of van carrying both domestic and commercial loads. This can include furniture, desks, wardrobe, and heavy boxes. It can be easily kept in the carrier. It can handle weight range of 780kg to 1000kg.
Just like a normal car it has normal controls like accelerators, break and clutch. And the two big rear view mirrors to see the vehicles coming from behind.
If you are a start-up company, it is suggested to take Luton Van for hire, instead of buying and reducing the capital. It does work more effectively in saving money this way.
