Choosing your vehicle

Box truck or cargo van?

The right starting point is the work you need to do. Compare the space, access and route before choosing a class.

Start with the load.

  • List the items you expect to carry and measure the largest pieces.
  • Think about the whole load, including packaging and any equipment that needs to travel with it.
  • Note how many collections, stops and deliveries are planned.

Compare the vehicle format.

A cargo van has an enclosed van body. A box truck has a separate cargo box. Look beyond the vehicle name: interior dimensions, door openings and loading features matter to your job.

Consider the places you’ll visit.

  • Make a note of parking space, loading areas and access restrictions at each location.
  • Ask the office about the dimensions and features of the actual available vehicle.
  • Confirm the vehicle class and rental dates before making plans around a specific vehicle.
