How much does it cost in Ahlen?

How much does it cost to hire a van for moving house in Ahlen?

On Rentlo, vans around Ahlen currently start at €89 a day. The final price depends on van size, rental period, kilometres and extras. For short moves, an hourly rate can be cheaper if the rental company offers one.

What driving licence do I need for a moving van?

With a category B licence you can drive vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight, which covers most vans. For heavier trucks you need category C1 or an old German class 3 licence. If in doubt, ask the rental company which category the vehicle requires.

How big does the van for my move need to be?

As a rough guide, a small van is often enough for one room, and a large van up to 3.5 tonnes for two to three rooms. What really matters, though, is the amount and bulk of your furniture. If in doubt, go one size up rather than driving twice.

Do I need a no-parking zone?

It isn't mandatory, but it's very helpful if there's hardly any parking outside your building. You can apply for one with your town or municipality; the lead time varies by location. In many towns you can also hire a service provider to handle the application and signs.

Are there vans with a tail lift?

Some rental companies offer vans or trucks with a tail lift, which is handy for washing machines, fridges or heavy wardrobes. Whether a vehicle has one is stated in the description; otherwise ask the rental company.

When should I book the van for my move?

As early as possible, especially at the turn of the month, in summer and at the start of the university term. That's when vans are most in demand. Check the cancellation terms in case your moving date changes.

What is Rentlo?

Rentlo is a marketplace for all kinds of rental vehicles in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You rent directly from verified local rental companies.

Guide

Helpers, schedule and return

Organise enough helpers and plan breaks, as a move almost always takes longer than expected. Agree a realistic return time and check whether the rental company wants the vehicle back with a full tank. Blankets, ratchet straps and a sack truck protect your furniture and your back. If someone else will drive, register them as an additional driver.

Keep an eye on costs

Besides the rental price, kilometres, fuel, possibly an additional driver and the protection package all count. For short moves within town, many rental companies offer an hourly rate covering 8 hours; for long distances, a mileage package pays off. Check the deposit and how you pay it before sending your request.

Which van size suits your home?

The size of your flat is only a rough guide: what really counts is the amount and bulk of your furniture. For a room in a shared flat a small van is often enough, for two to three rooms rather a large high-roof van. Large homes need two trips or a truck, which requires a different licence above 3.5 tonnes. A tail lift makes heavy items like a washing machine or wardrobe much easier.
