You will be able to move on your own schedule and not depend on a removalist company. You won’t have to pay a removals team to pack, sit in the truck and then unpack your belongings. Why not ask family and friends to help, and have a moving party in your new home with takeaway food and a glass of bubbly? If you are a business, schedule your move for a weekend, when the workload may be quieter and encourage staff to help you move.
In this article, we identify four choices to help you with a stress-free moving experience when you hire a moving truck from Southern Cross Truck Rentals.
1
Consider Pantech Truck Hire for Your Move
Pantech trucks are the moving truck of choice for countless households and businesses in Australia and globally. There are good reasons for this:
- Security
Cargo is enclosed in a pantech truck. With lockable doors, your belongings are secure in the truck. - Protection
The enclosed body of a pantech truck offers protection from the elements, meaning your items will remain dry as well as secure. - Custom storage
Pantech trucks can be customised to have shelves, tie-down spots and racking to help maximise the space used and store items securely during transport. - Cost
If you are comfortable packing and transporting your items, renting a pantech truck is more cost effective than hiring a removal truck with professional removalists.

One-Way Truck Hire Can Save Time And Money
If you can find a rental company offering a pick up and drop-off service, then a one-way rental makes great sense since you will only be moving one way!
The service means you pick up your moving truck before or drop it off after your move, there is no need to do the ‘empty trip’. The drop-off points are often central depots or airports for your convenience, too.
Use Interstate Truck Hire for Long Moves
If you are moving interstate, then using a one-way rental will be convenient for you, saving you time and money.
Also, did you know you may be able to drive your own moving truck with your standard car licence? This offers you the opportunity to pack, travel and unpack to your own schedule.
Ask your truck rental team to help you select the best size removal truck for your move to ensure all your possessions fit into a single truck. They will also advise whether you could self-drive.
Use Interstate Truck Hire for Long Moves
You may want to move items other than a house, or office-load of furniture and equipment. If this is the case, ask your truck rental company about other moving truck options.
You should consider a ute or van hire for a smaller move. A ute is the perfect size for moving the contents of a small shed, for instance, while a van may transport the contents of a small apartment and offers security and protection from the weather.
Both vehicles are ideal for loading and unloading in tight, or confined, spaces, too!
