    NSW: Truck hire.....any ideas

    Hi Guys

    I'm moving house on the 19th of Oct and I'm looking to hire a truck on the Sat morning to pre pack ready to move out on the Monday...

    I'm finding it hard to find stuff.....I have been to the major hire companies and found one at europcar although it doesn't really say its length of capacity.

    and one at budget which is a light commercial (Isuzu moving van) 4.2m long. We don't have a great deal of furniture to move. a lounge, a plasma + unit.. fridge with the double doors couple of book shelve units 2 queen size beds and a small 2 seater sofa bed..and some tall speakers from the surround sound.....oh and washing machine and dryer.

    The rest is like all the crap from the shed!! do you think one of these Vans would be big enough? I have no idea what they are like in size.

    Also is there any companies that I may have missed...I have been to all the major ones like avis etc they either dont have what I want or are really really expensive compared to the other 2 that I have found.

    any help and advice would be appreciated.....I'm selling, buying and moving on the same day! so it all has to be moved and no we can't move anything in early we have already asked that.

    Lou, give Able Hire - Able Hire | Trucks

    They have different sized pantechs that you don't need anything other than a normal licence for...

    ** I have no connection with Able Hire in any way, shape or form...have used them before to hire gear and they are good guys..

    Avis, Hertz, Thrifty, Network Rentals all do trucks DB. consider getting one with a "tail-loader". it will save some back work when shifting the fridge. The standard 2 tonne Pantechs should move all the stuff you mentioned in 1 load (Garage ??) and can be driven on a car licence.

    done these ones already like I said I have hit all the big wigs.....I haven't done network though will give them a try.....

    and most already come with a hyraulic lifter...one of the first things I looked at as I dont see how we are going to get a roller cab in one with out it..unless we drag it on its roller wheels behind the truck
