If you’re planning on moving either interstate or intrastate, the chances are you’ve looked at a small truck hire. This is an important thing to consider, as this will be a huge part of your moving process. It will enable you to move your belongings safely from your old home to your new one, so certain elements, like cost, size, reliability of the hiring company, for example, all need to be a part of the decision making process. At Southern Cross Truck Rentals, we take pride in providing small trucks for hire to people all over Australia, every single day.
The Size of The Small Truck
Trucks come in different measurements and sizes. Overall, the size of the small truck you need will depend on the amount of furniture or belongings you have. Before you hire one it’s best to create an inventory list of what is needed. That way you can make sure you get the right-sized truck for your needs. Ideally, the best-sized small truck won’t be too small so that you have to make multiple trips and pay for additional time and fuel. But it also won’t be too large, so there is no wasted space.
At Southern Cross Truck Rentals, we want to make your truck hiring process as easy as possible. In fact, with our Moving Truck Calculator, you can work out the total volume of truck space you’ll require. Simply add all of your items into our itinerary calculator, and we will let you know the measurements of your ideal small truck.
The Cost of the Small Truck Hire
Moving homes can be a costly process. We all have different budgets to work with when it comes to hiring moving equipment. Don’t forget to work out how much renting a small truck would be. Certain elements that you might not consider that could potentially be extra costs would be; hiring a driver, packing tapes, ropes, blankets, and other moving accessories that would make moving day as efficient and safe as possible.
The Different Hiring Methods
Will you need a truck for one-way or two-way? Is it an emergency hire? How long will you need to hire the small truck for? These are all important questions to consider. Sometimes, you have to move home at a moment’s notice, or another hire company could have fallen through with your agreement. Either way, your small truck hire process needs to cater to what you specifically need.
At Southern Cross Truck Rentals, we provide a number of different hiring services for your small truck hire. These include different specifications of the truck, as well as casual rentals, long-term leasings, one-way and two-way truck hire, interstate hire, and 24-hour emergency hire. Whatever you need, we’ll do our best to provide.
A Reputable Truck Hire Company
Hiring from a reputable truck hire company is important. Before you settle on a certain truck from a particular place, it’s always wise to do your research. Don’t rush this process, because it could save you time, money, and a lot of stress in the long run. Look for a business that doesn’t have any hidden charges, and highlight everything clearly on their website, including costs, contracts, and processes. Also, take note of how well maintained their small trucks are – this will mean your move is less stressful. For most reviews, you can Google the company and find testimonials. Try asking any family and friends that have recently hired, too.
If A Driver Can Be Hired Too
Certain small trucks can be hired without needing a specialised driver. This is because you can use your normal vehicle license to drive these trucks. If you’re hiring a larger small truck, you might need to look at what specifications a license would need, or if you can hire a driver for the journey. These drivers won’t be included in your initial hire cost. But with the right company, you can hire a driver alongside your initial small truck hire.
At Southern Cross Truck Rentals, we provide licensed drivers to hire alongside your small truck. This will take any pressure, stress and strain off your moving journey.
There are a number of things to consider when considering your small truck hire. We can provide you with everything you need to have a stress-free hiring process. You can speak with our knowledgeable team or use our moving truck volume calculator to work out the size of vehicle you need.
