Renting a Van in Bedford: Our Expert Tips

If you don't know which model to hire, here are some of our tips for you before making any van rental reservations in Bedford:

• Panel Van Hire: Ideal van for a limited amount of items or city driving. It is easy to handle, has a high roof, and is more spacious than a standard car. 
• Luton Van Hire: Perfect for bulky items or full house moves. The van can fit the contents of a 2 to 4-bedroom house. They also have enough seats for passengers.

Once you have chosen the right van, make sure you have a clear itinerary for your move, including any stops or drop-off locations along the way. A well-planned trip will make your move easier, faster, and more enjoyable. Check and reserve the vehicle availability before you start your Bedford move. Moreover, while many Bedford cargo van hires include unlimited miles, read terms and policies carefully to check for extra mileage fees. And remember, all drivers must possess a valid driver’s license.

Navigating Around Bedford

Bedford, known for its picturesque location and historic charm, is an easy town to get around, thanks in particular to its well-maintained roads and a good network of routes linking its main areas.

When hiring a van, know that the town is served by several major roads, such as the A6 and A421, which can experience heavier traffic, especially at peak times between 7:30 and 9:00 am and between 4:30 and 6:00 pm. Although Bedford does not generally experience heavy traffic jams, areas close to the city center and shopping areas can become more congested, particularly during weekends or school vacations.

Road conditions are generally good, although occasional roadworks or construction projects may mean temporary detours. Potholes and uneven surfaces are noted in residential areas, but overall, roads are well maintained. This is something to keep in mind when renting a vehicle.

Pedestrians are frequent, especially in shopping areas and the city center, with clear pedestrian crossings. Cyclists share most roads with cars, so it's important to remain vigilant, especially in the busiest areas.
