After you enter your details, Mietfuchs will display various models and their corresponding prices. Plan ahead to determine how much loading space you actually need. Consider how long and bulky your furniture is, how many moving boxes you have, and the total weight of the move. The distance is also an important factor. Can you make multiple trips, or does everything need to be moved in one go? For example, from Zurich to Geneva? Here\u2019s a tip: Rent the van during the week to benefit from lower rates unless there is a special weekend offer available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the rental process like?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve chosen a vehicle, the process is straightforward: Simply enter your personal information, and the van will be reserved for you. At pickup, you only need your ID and driver\u2019s license. If multiple people will be driving, each driver must present their documents. A key point: With a Class B driver\u2019s license, you are permitted to drive vans up to a total weight of 3.5 tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I prepare to drive a van?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re driving a moving van for the first time, you\u2019ll quickly notice how large the vehicle is compared to a regular car. The limited visibility and the significantly larger blind spot require special attention. Take the time to get used to the vehicle\u2014especially adjusting the side mirrors, which is crucial. When maneuvering, having a passenger who can get out and guide you is helpful. Always drive carefully and anticipate situations to ensure your cargo\u2019s safety. Also, be mindful of the vehicle\u2019s height, especially when entering narrow driveways and under low-clearance passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How much can I load?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Vans often offer surprisingly large storage space, but be cautious: overloading is prohibited. You can find the empty and permissible total weights in the vehicle registration document, Part 1. The difference indicates the maximum allowable load, which must not be exceeded. Overloading can result in heavy fines. Additionally, improper loading can be dangerous; a high center of gravity can significantly affect the vehicle\u2019s handling and increase the risk of tipping over in critical situations. Unsecured cargo can fly through the loading area in sudden braking and get damaged. Always make sure to secure the load properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I properly load the van?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beim Umzug gibt es viele sperrige und schwere M\u00f6bel sowie zahlreiche Umzugskisten, die transportiert werden m\u00fcssen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wenn der Transporter bereitsteht, sollten Sie folgende Tipps beachten:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 During a move:<\/strong> ou\u2019ll have many bulky and heavy pieces of furniture as well as numerous moving boxes that need to be transported. When the moving van is ready, keep the following tips in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Secure Flat Items:<\/strong> Mirrors, cabinet doors, shelves, and mattresses should be placed upright and secured with straps against the vehicle\u2019s side walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Furniture in the Middle:<\/strong> Place large and heavy pieces of furniture in the middle of the loading area to ensure even weight distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Household Appliances Last:<\/strong> Load heavy appliances like washing machines and refrigerators last. This way, they can be unloaded and positioned first at the destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7 Use Tie-Down Straps: <\/strong>Use sturdy ratchet straps to secure the load. Moving vans are usually equipped with rings on the walls and floor to attach these straps. Elastic bungee cords are not suitable for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00b7Use Transport Aids:<\/strong> Dollies and furniture rollers make loading and unloading much easier. These aids can often be borrowed when renting a van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smooth move starts with a well-planned loading of the moving van. By cleverly positioning boxes, furniture, and appliances, you not only ensure safety during transit but also prevent potential damages. Stack boxes correctly, secure flat items to the side walls, and use strong tension belts for heavy furniture. Don\u2019t forget to fill empty spaces to prevent items from shifting. Practical tools like dollies make loading and unloading even more efficient. With proper preparation and the right equipment, you can handle the move without unnecessary stress. This way, your start in your new home will not only be easier but also much more pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQs:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
How far in advance should I rent a van for my move?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is advisable to reserve the van at least 2\u20134 weeks in advance, especially during summer months or at the beginning of semesters when demand is higher. This ensures that the desired vehicle size is available and helps you avoid possible shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I drive a van with my regular car driver\u2019s license?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, with a Category B driver\u2019s license, you are allowed to drive vans up to 3.5 tons in total weight. For heavier vans, however, you need a C1 or higher license class. Always check the permissible total weight of the vehicle to stay within legal limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What should I keep in mind when returning the van?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure that the van is returned clean and in the same condition as when you picked it up. Refuel the vehicle according to the rental agreement and ensure that no personal items are left behind. If needed, document the van\u2019s condition with photos to prevent misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can I estimate the weight of my load to avoid overloading?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To estimate the weight of your load, weigh heavy items, furniture, and boxes individually. Refer to the details in the van registration certificate. A rough rule of thumb: A box of books can weigh up to 20 kg, while furniture and appliances vary depending on size and material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do I choose the right van size for my move?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The choice of van size depends on the amount of furniture and boxes you have. For a small move, a small van with a loading volume of 3\u20135 m\u00b3 is usually sufficient. For larger apartments or houses, vans with 7.5\u201310 m\u00b3 or more are recommended. A moving consultant from the rental company can assist you in making the right decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What should I keep in mind while driving a loaded van?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
When driving a loaded van, exercise extra caution and drive defensively. Be mindful of the longer braking distance and take corners more slowly than usual. Always maintain enough distance from other vehicles and avoid sudden steering movements to ensure the stability of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it possible to return the moving van outside of business hours?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many rental companies offer the option to return the van outside of business hours. There is usually a key drop-off box available for this purpose. However, clarify the exact details in advance and make sure the van is properly parked. Some providers may charge an additional fee for returns outside of business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
