All too often, people are so eager to get a good
price on their van hire Gold Coast, Australia
that they fail to plan correctly. The first step
before hiring a van is to ensure you have a
comprehensive list of all of your requirements.
For example, estimating correctly the total size
of what you will be moving in the van is vital.
If you fail to do this, you could end up hiring a
van bigger than you require which could be
costly.   Alternatively, you could end up hiring
a van smaller than you required which could leave
you having to make many trips. This may prove
expensive in terms of fuel depending on the
distance travelled and could make the job take
considerably longer than if the requirements had
been clearly specified. If you are moving heavy,
large items, consider van hiring with a tailgate
lift as this will aid you in the loading and
unloading of the vehicle.

Always Compare Like With Like   When comparing
van hire Gold Coast prices, ensure you are aware
of exactly what is included in the price and what
is excluded. Insurance can vary dramatically, so
ensure you check with each supplier exactly what
you are covered for. Never assume that a cheap
rental quote will include all of the elements
which you require. Ensure that you are comparing
like with like and always aim to go for the
unlimited mileage deals wherever you can, to
ensure that you won't be penalised for taking
longer or multiple trips. A comparison rental
system would assist you in this.
4
Check the Hire Vehicle   Before you leave with
your hired vehicle, you should always check its
interior and exterior for any form of damage. Any
such damage must be documented on your agreement
or you may be held accountable and charged upon
returning the vehicle. Also, ensure that you
check the van's mileage and that it correlates
with your documentation and the fuel level.
5
It's Not Like Driving a Car   You may not be
familiar with driving a van. In this case ensure
that you are aware of and comfortable with the
vehicle's dimensions. It is likely to be far
higher and wider than the vehicle you are used to
driving, so ensure that you take plenty of care
to avoid making contact with any low bridges or
walls. When parking, ensure you leave enough
space behind the vehicle for loading and
unloading.
6
Dropping the Hire Vehicle Back Off   When
returning the van, ensure it is in the same
condition as it was in when you accessed it, with
the interior tidy, clean and damage-free. Also
ensure that the vehicle is returned with roughly
the same amount of fuel as when you picked it up.
Remember to find out where to drop the keys off
if you return it out of hours and avoid dropping
the vehicle off late as this could incur extra
charges.

Concluding the Van Hire Gold Coast
Experience   After everything is paid for and
returned, make sure you check your credit card
statements to ensure that no extra charges have
been added to your van hire Gold Coast . If there
are any discrepancies, make sure you take it up
with your rental company as soon as possible.
