Start with the inventory
Box count is one input, alongside furniture dimensions, dismantled parts and awkward items. Compare the complete inventory with the rental company’s stated load volume and payload.
Respect payload and access
A vehicle can run out of legal payload before it runs out of space. Driver licence rules, loading height, parking and property access also affect the practical choice.
Load for stability
Place suitable heavy items low and distribute weight according to the vehicle guidance. Secure furniture and leave essential unloading equipment accessible.
Practical checklist
- Use the rental company’s current specifications for the exact vehicle.
- Never exceed payload, axle or licence limits.
