Red hot tips for booking a moving truck hire
From moving newbies to relocation veterans, there’s a lot to think about when hiring a moving truck in Melbourne. These helpful tips will make sure your move goes smoothly:

Bring your driver’s licence
Bring a valid driver’s licence and credit card to book your next truck hire. All rental vehicles require a credit card at pick-up for pre-authorisation. Planning on additional drivers? Bring their valid driver’s licences too, so you can share driving duties with no sweat.

Consider truck size
Keep in mind that even smaller trucks are taller than standard car hires. Road and weather conditions like high-wind areas can affect you more than usual, so drive slower to keep you and your belongings safe on the road. Choosing the right truck size also helps you avoid multiple trips or wasted space!

Mind the gap
Check your truck height ahead of time to make sure you can safely clear any car park heights, bridge heights etc. that you might encounter during your move.

Plan your route
It’s important to remember that trucks are larger than regular cars, and may not fit in all spaces. Make sure to check your truck dimensions, then plan your route to avoid tight spots or low clearances.

Check the fuel policy
Understand the moving truck fuel policy before you pick it up. With Redspot, we have you covered with pre-pay and refuelling services, or you can fill up the tank yourself.

Pick up a Toll Pass Waiver
Streamline your way through toll roads with our handy Toll Pass Waiver and take the hassle out of navigating your big move.

Pack smart and protect your stuff
Disassemble furniture wherever possible to maximise space, load large items first, and place boxes against walls to maintain stability during transport. Place any mattresses, sofas, and tables on their sides against the walls and make sure valuable items are securely tied down.

Moving Truck Hire Melbourne FAQs
What is the best Melbourne truck rental for moving?
The best truck rental depends on your plans! Consider factors like the size and volume of your belongings, vehicle dimensions, height restrictions, licence requirements, distance, and one-way rental options to land the best option for your big move! Look out for safety features like hydraulic lifts and payload support systems that help you load and unload heavy items with ease.
For smaller moves, a 4.2m truck is usually enough to transport your belongings from a one-bedroom apartment or studio. For larger homes, offices, and deliveries, you may want to consider a 3.5 to 4.5-tonne truck to accommodate more cargo when you need it.
What size moving truck for a 5-bedroom house?
Depending on the size and amount of your belongings, you’ll typically need a 10-tonne truck, possibly even a 12-tonne truck, for a 5-bedroom house move. Generally, a 10-tonne truck offers enough space for this type of move but you may need to switch to a 12-tonne if you’re transporting an especially large volume of bulky items.
How much can you fit in a 4.2 m truck?
You can fit approximately 18.5 to 19 m³ in a standard 4.2 m truck hire, which typically covers the contents of a one-bedroom apartment (about three pallets). Ideal for small-scale moves such as studios, one-bedroom apartments, small offices etc.
Does Redspot provide moving truck rental for businesses?
Yes, 100%! Whether you need a moving truck to relocate offices, transport goods, or make a delivery, we’ve got the vehicle to make the trip as simple as 1, 2, 3. Reach out to our friendly Sales team and discover how the Redspot Business Club program makes commercial truck hire a smooth ride.
What are the moving truck licence requirements?
With Redspot, all you need is a Standard Car Licence (Class C) to drive our fleet of Hino 300 moving truck rentals! Make sure to check licence requirements for any other vehicle models, as other trucks may need an LR (Light Rigid), MR (Medium Rigid), HR (Heavy Rigid) or MC (Medium-Combination) licence to drive in Australia.
What is the oldest age to drive a rental truck?
At Redspot, there’s no maximum age limit! We say that age is just a number. That’s why we welcome anyone over 21 to rent with us and keep on rolling.
What is the minimum age to rent a vehicle with Redspot?
For most Aussie car rental companies, the minimum age is 25. However, with Redspot, we don’t think age should keep you from getting the job done! Drivers from 21 years old are welcome to rent with us, including trucks, vans and utes.Check out our Young Drivers guide for all the details to get you geared up for the road.
