Moving Van Companies - Important Questions To Ask
Moving house, city or country for that matter can all be very stressful times. There's so much to organise in what is usually a short period of time. In order to save hassles on your moving day, I have made a list of important questions to ask moving van companies (on top of the general "How much do you charge?") when you are inquiring about their services.
Question One - Are your vans self-drive or do you supply a driver?
It's important to ask this question particularly if you don't hold a current drivers license. If the company says that their vans are self-drive only, then you should ask what transmission the vehicles are. This might make your decision easier if you don't feel comfortable driving a manual transmission and that's all that they offer!
Question Two - What size are your vans?
Vans come in all different sizes, so you want to make it clear to the moving van company how much you have to move, so that they will advise which size van you require. If you have a big load to move, the van company might be able to suggest a better and more economical option for your move; moving trucks, trailers etc.
Question Three - How old are your vehicles?
This might seem like an odd question, but the last thing you want is to arrive at the depot to pick up your van and find that it's not up to Warrant of Fitness standard and therefore isn't a reliable method of moving!
Question Four - Do you provide insurance with your vehicles?
In the event that anything should happen to your goods or the van for that matter, you need to make sure that you are covered, so that you don't have to spare any more expense on repairing or replacing anything!
Question Five - Are there any additional charges that I should be aware of?
Sometimes companies don't make their additional charges obvious to their customers, so it's important to find out if and when these charges occur, so that you are not surprised at the end of your move!
Question Six - What paperwork is involved?
Whilst you are only at the inquiring stage at the moment, you should find out exactly what paperwork needs to be filed, so that you are aware of what needs to be done prior to picking up the vehicle.
When you are talking to moving van companies, you will get a feel for the type of customer service you are going to get by asking these simple questions.
