A Luton van is the perfect choice for moves and deliveries that demand space, security, and convenience. At CVS Van Hire, we make sure you get the right van, the right advice, and total peace of mind—every time you hire.
Why Choose A Luton Van?
A Luton van is designed for maximum utility. With a box-shaped cargo area that extends over the cab, you get extra space without increasing the van’s length. This makes it ideal for transporting furniture, appliances, office equipment, or bulk goods. If you want to see the top uses of Luton van hire, visit our dedicated page for more inspiration.
Businesses and individuals alike benefit from:
- Secure, weatherproof storage
- Easy loading and unloading (often with a tail lift)
- Versatility for home moves, business deliveries, and more
Van Size Advice: What Size Luton Van Do You Need?
One of the most common questions we get is about van size. Here’s some practical van size advice:

- Payload: Standard models carry up to 1,200kg.
- Space: The over-cab area is perfect for lighter, bulkier items.

Driving Tips: How To Handle A Luton Van
Driving a hired Luton van is different from driving a car. Here are some essential driving tips:
- Drive slower: Luton vans are heavier and require more stopping distance.
- Mind the height: Always know your van’s height to avoid accidents with low bridges or car parks.
- Use mirrors: Luton vans have large mirrors—use them to check your blind spots.
- Take wide turns: The longer wheelbase means you’ll need extra room when turning.
- Park carefully: Choose larger spaces and, if possible, have someone guide you.
