Moving with a rented van almost always works out cheaper than a removals firm, provided you have an extra pair of hands and a bit of planning. The thing to get right is the size: a van that is too small forces three trips instead of one, and the saving disappears.

Our panel vans are enclosed, with a protected load floor, a sliding side door and lashing points. They arrive clean and empty — you won’t be clearing out the load space before you start.

What size van do I need?

As a working rule for Attica flats: a studio or small one-bedroom fits in a five-cubic-metre van, usually over two runs. A fully furnished one or two-bedroom needs the ten-cubic-metre high-roof van. If you have bulky single items — a three-seat sofa, a tall fridge-freezer — measure them separately and tell us the dimensions. It’s the height of the loading door that decides whether they go in.

Practicalities

What to sort out on moving day

Parking at both ends

In Piraeus and western Attica the hard part isn’t the drive, it’s where the van will stand while you load. Secure a space early in the morning at both addresses. Central streets may require a pavement occupation permit from the municipality — apply at least a few days ahead. Our driving and parking guide covers the local traffic patterns.

Load in the right order

Heavy, flat items — washing machines, chests of drawers — go in first, hard against the bulkhead. Light and bulky goes on top. Anything fragile goes last and gets strapped. A van loaded properly holds noticeably more than one filled at random.

Insuring the load

The vehicle insurance covers the vehicle, not your belongings. If you’re moving anything of high value, tell us beforehand so we can point you to the right cover before the hire starts.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked

An eight-cubic-metre van usually covers a fully furnished one-bedroom in one or two runs. If you have few furnishings, the five-cubic-metre van is enough.
