Luton Long-Distance Removals at a Glance
Looking for Cheap Long Distance Removals Luton?
Looking for Luton van hire in Medway, Kent, or the wider South East?
Giant Van runs daily routes through Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham, and Strood.
Our Luton vans measure 4 metres long by 2 metres wide internally, with 2 metres of headroom.
That fits a two-bed flat's contents in a single load.
The tail lift handles items up to 500 kg, making piano and appliance moves straightforward.
Medway's terraced streets around Luton Road in Chatham and the New Road area of Rochester have restricted parking, so our drivers arrive early and load quickly.
Prices for a Medway collection start at £39.
Getting Long-Distance Removals to Your Luton Door
A standard Luton van holds roughly 500 cubic feet of cargo.
That is big enough to move a one or two-bedroom house in a single trip.
For a three-bedroom semi, expect two loads or step up to our larger 4.2-metre box van.
The Luton body sits over the cab, adding about 1.5 metres of extra length compared to a standard long-wheelbase transit.
Wardrobes, double mattresses, and dining tables fit without disassembly.
A two-seater sofa slides in with room to spare.
For items over 2 metres long, such as king-size bed frames, the tail lift doubles as a level loading platform.

Professional Luton Van with Driver vs Self-Drive
For customers comparing Mercedes Sprinter Luton dimensions to our Ford Transit fleet: the Sprinter Luton offers 4.1 m length, 1.8 m width, and 1.9 m height internally.
The Transit Luton is slightly wider and taller, which makes a real difference when loading wardrobes and American-style fridge-freezers.
Both fit comfortably under the 3.5-tonne gross vehicle weight limit, so no special driving licence is needed by the driver.
Giant Van supplies the driver, the van, and the equipment.
You supply the address and the moving date.
Giant Van's Luton van fleet operates from Kent and the South East daily, covering Medway's terraced streets and Rochester's historic centre with the same professionalism as UK-wide long-distance bookings.
