Choose van hire for Guildford with SDVH Surrey
Trying to work out if a length of guttering, a wardrobe or a stack of pallets will clear a van's rear doors before you book? Describe the item's exact dimensions and we'll talk through a panel van, wheelbase model, Luton or dropside with load space to match.

Vans for loads, moves and working days
Our Guildford van range spans compact panel vans through wheelbase models, tail-lift Lutons, crew vans and dropsides, with the same range available for nearby areas including Shalford, Merrow, Chilworth and Jacobs Well.
Every image and model name represents a vehicle group. The booking team confirms the available vehicle or a suitable similar option for the requested dates.
Small van for tools, boxes, light deliveries and quick local jobs.
Short-wheelbase Transit for everyday moves, trades and business deliveries.
Automatic van for local transport, business use and easier city driving.
Medium-wheelbase van for furniture, stock, equipment and storage runs.
Long-wheelbase van for bulkier loads and larger home or trade jobs.
Large panel van for longer items, bulky moves and trade equipment.
Large automatic panel van; this option is restricted to London bookings, not standard county supply.
Luton box van with tail lift, often chosen for furniture and house moves.
Open dropside body for landscaping, trade loads and easier side loading.
Tipper body for site, waste and landscaping work where hire terms allow.
Specialist recovery vehicle for suitable bookings with driver and insurance checks.
Access vehicle for height work where operator and booking terms allow.
Camper van for leisure journeys where availability and cover allow.
Pickup for site access, rural journeys and practical load movement.
Crew van for carrying a team and equipment in the same vehicle.
Compact crew van for small teams, tools and mixed passenger-load use.
Measure the load and check both addresses
Fitting a long item into a van is about load length and access as much as overall size, so a few checks help before you choose.
Note the item's full length, height and width, since a doorway or corridor at the collection point can narrow the route as much as the van itself.
A van's rear opening can be narrower than its internal load area, so a long item may need the load space checked rather than just the door gap.
A tail-lift Luton lowers a heavy piece to ground level, while a dropside allows loading from the side or rear without changing the vehicle's load bed length.
A long item is not always light, so pass on an approximate weight too, since payload and load length are separate limits.
Guildford van hire journey notes
National Highways publishes an ongoing project page for the M25 junction 10 and A3 Wisley area, with current updates for anyone travelling through it. A longer van carrying an extended item benefits from a route checked in advance, so if your Guildford job passes near that junction, it is worth reviewing the latest page rather than assuming nothing has changed since your last visit.
