What to know before you book a moving van hire
Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, there are plenty of things to consider when hiring a moving van. Here are some handy rental tips to get your stuff where you need it:
Driver’s licence
Bring a valid driving licence and credit card to book your next van hire. All rental vehicles require a credit card at pick-up for a pre-authorisation. Planning on an additional driver/s? Bring their valid driver’s licences along too so you can share driving duties with no sweat.
Check the fuel policy
Understand the moving van 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.
Inspect the van
Before driving off, inspect the van for any existing damage and report it to avoid any potential charges and keep your moving costs down.
Plan your route
Vans are larger and may not fit in all spaces; plan your route to avoid tight spots or low clearances.
Toll policy
You’ll find that many roads across Australia, including in Queensland, are cashless toll roads. Redspot vehicles come with our own toll tag to make things easy. For peace of mind, you can choose to pre-pay tolls by purchasing a Toll Waiver when you collect your vehicle.
Moving accessories
Hire or purchase moving accessories or specialised storage options to make moving as stress-free as possible! This is especially helpful for transporting fragile items and appliances, like glassware and fridges.
Understand insurance options
With so much to think about in larger vehicles, liability should not be one of them. Give yourself peace of mind with a Redspot all-inclusive package.

Moving Van Hire Sunshine Coast FAQs
How much to hire a moving van?
The cost of hiring a moving van can vary depending on the vehicle model, rental period duration, and mileage. Plug your details into Redspot’s handy booking tool to get a rental estimate for your journey.
Can Redspot vans move interstate?
Yes, absolutely! If you return your Redspot van hire to the same location you picked it up from, you’re free to roam interstate with ease.
Interstate one-way rentals:
- You can book one-way car hire between our East Coast branches (QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS), subject to vehicle availability.
Restricted state one-way rentals:
- Due to these branches’ remote locations (NT, SA, WA), one-way car hire is only available between Redspot locations within the state/territory it is rented from.
Our vans come with a daily kilometre allowance of 100 km to help us sustain the fleet, with a small fee for extra distance depending on the vehicle. Ideal if you’re sticking to a local move or want to save on removalists.

How do I drive a moving van?
First time driving a moving van? No worries! To get you on the road with confidence, here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind:
- Give a wide berth: Play things safe and stay aware when driving near other vehicles to ensure a smooth journey, ensuring you leave a wide berth between you and other drivers. Pay extra attention around those tight corners, so you can turn gradually and keep everyone (plus your cargo!) safe and sound.
- Secure your load: Before you hit the road, make sure everything in the back is properly tied down and secured. Loose cargo can shift while driving, making the van harder to handle, especially around corners or when braking.
- Signal clearly: As the bigger vehicle on the road, it’s extra important to let other drivers know what you’re planning. Use your indicators well in advance, and give others plenty of time to react to your turns or lane changes.
- Mind your van size and weight: Driving a moving van is a different beast from your usual runaround. Your ride is bigger, heavier, and needs more time to stop. Where possible, use the handbrake for smoother stopping and a safer drive!
- Take plenty of breaks: If you’re not used to driving a larger vehicle, it can wear you out quicker than expected. Take breaks often, stretch your legs, and don’t push on if you’re feeling tired or sore. If the weather turns rough (especially when driving up or down steep inclines), it’s best to pull over and wait it out.
Do Redspot moving vans have unlimited kms?
When you hire a van, ute, or truck with Redspot, there’s a daily limit of 100 km to help keep our fleet in top condition. This allowance is ideal for most local or short-haul moves.
Planning a longer trip? No worries — just give our friendly team a call on 1300 668 810 (toll-free) and we’ll help you find the best rental option to suit your journey.
Note: Different limits may apply in remote areas such as Alice Springs or Darwin. Contact us if you’re heading off the beaten track to discuss!
What size van do I need to move a double mattress?
The ideal van size varies depending on the size of the mattress. We recommend measuring the size of your mattress to get the exact figures, then see which of our vehicles is most suitable for you based on cargo space and other dimensions.
Should I put clothes in boxes or bags?
Going boxes or bags – this all depends on your priorities! While bags may be easier to pack, boxes are sturdier. This way, boxes keep your belongings safer and make things easier to fit into a moving van.
We recommend using an airtight plastic container with a clip-on lid whenever possible. That way, you can guarantee the safety of your belongings, pack in more than a standard box, and have additional storage space you can reuse anywhere you may need.
Is it worth paying for packing when moving?
It all comes down to your priorities around time and budget! If you are busy, short on time, and have the budget to spare, paying someone else to do the packing can be worth the investment. If you have extra time and would rather save cash, packing your belongings yourself could be the way to go.
