Hire a Luton Van (Ideal for heavy lifting furniture) in Billericay
Why Hire a Luton Van in Billericay?
If you are moving house, the Luton Van is the industry standard for a reason. Unlike standard panel vans, the Luton features a large, box-shaped body that sits above the wheels.
At Essex Van Hire, our Lutons are the number one choice for house removals, office clearances, and transporting bulky furniture. They offer the maximum amount of space you can drive on a standard licence, combined with the ultimate labour-saving device: the Tail Lift.
The Game Changer: The Electric Tail Lift
Avoid trying to lift a washing-machine or a sideboard made of oak that is heavy to the waist to fit it in the back of a vehicle. That is a recipe for a bad back or damaged goods.
Our Luton vans in Billericay come equipped with a hydraulic electric tail lift at the rear.
How it works: Simply roll your heavy items onto the platform at ground level, press a button, and watch the lift raise your load smoothly to the floor level of the van.
Why you need it: It turns a three-person struggle into a one-person job. Perfect for fridges, sofas, pianos, and heavy boxes.
Key Benefits of the Luton Box Body
Square Loading Bay: Unlike panel vans which have curved sides and wheel arches eating into your space, the Luton is a square box. This means you can stack boxes right into the corners and up to the ceiling, maximising every inch of space.
The “Luton” Head: This is the storage space that sits directly above the driver’s cab (giving the van its name). It is the perfect spot for awkward, light items like rugs, curtain rails, bedding, or bags of clothes, keeping the main floor clear for heavy furniture.
Tie Rails: Our vans come fitted with interior tie rails, allowing you to strap your furniture securely to the walls so nothing shifts during transit.
A Safety Note: Watch Your Head!
Luton vans are tall. When driving, please be mindful of height restrictions at:
- Car park entrances (especially barriers).
- Drive-throughs (McDonald’s/Costa).
- Low bridges.
Overhanging trees on country lanes. We recommend planning your route in advance, especially around older parts of Chelmsford or rural Essex roads.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to bring to hire a van?
To hire a vehicle from us, you will need to provide:
A full, valid UK driving licence (held for a minimum of 12 months).
A DVLA check code (so we can check for points/endorsements).
Two forms of proof of address dated within the last 3 months (e.g., utility bill, bank statement).
How old do I need to be to hire a van?
Do I need a special licence to drive your vans?
Can I hire a van for just one day?
Do your vans come with fuel?
We operate a "like-for-like" fuel policy. The van will be provided with a certain level of fuel (usually full or half-full), and we ask that you return it with the same amount.
Are your vans ULEZ compliant?
Most of our modern fleet meets Euro 6 emissions standards, making them ULEZ compliant. However, if you are planning to drive into the London Ultra Low Emission Zone, please double-check with us at the time of booking so we can allocate the correct vehicle for your trip.
Can I take the van abroad?
Our standard insurance covers usage within the UK mainland only. If you wish to take a vehicle to Europe or Ireland, please contact us in advance as additional insurance and Green Card documentation will be required.
What happens if the van breaks down?
In the unlikely event of a breakdown, all our vehicles are covered by 24-hour roadside assistance. You will be provided with the emergency contact number upon collection.
How much is the deposit?
We require a fully refundable security deposit to be paid upon collection. This is refunded to you when the vehicle is returned in the same condition it was hired, with the correct fuel level.
What if I’m running late to return the van?
We understand traffic can be bad, especially on the A12 or M25! If you think you will be late, please call us immediately on 07423 456 557. Late returns may incur an additional charge if they affect the next booking.
