How to Make Your Xmas Move Stress-Free with Wolverhampton Van Hire
Posted on:
November 24, 2025

Moving house is never easy - but moving before Christmas? That’s a whole new level of pressure. Between wrapping presents and wrapping furniture, the festive season can become a logistical juggling act. But the good news is it doesn’t have to be.

With the right van hire in Wolverhampton, your winter house move can go smoothly, even in the busiest time of year. In this guide, we'll show you how to make sure your move goes off without a hitch, from the team who have helped hundreds of customers move homes across the West Midlands.  

1. Plan ahead

Availability drops fast in the lead-up to Christmas. If you’re planning a house move in December, it’s essential to book your van early. Last-minute demand means vehicles can disappear quickly, especially on weekends.

When you hire early, you benefit from better choice, less stress, and one less thing to worry about during the holidays. Don’t leave it until the week before – secure your winter van hire now.

2. Pick the Right Size Van for Your Move  

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide what van you need:

Small vans:

Great for flat moves, students, or those with lighter loads. Easy to park and drive.  

Medium vans:

Ideal for couples or small families moving essentials and boxed items.  

Large vans:

Best for full house moves or transporting furniture and appliance in fewer trips.  

3. Winter-Proof Your House Move  

December can be unpredictable. Here’s some high impact ways you can prepare:

  • Pack waterproof covers for soft furnishings and valuables  
  • Bring extra blankets to protect breakables and cushion sharp corners  
  • Keep anti-slip mats or cardboard handy for wet paths and icy steps  
  • Dress warm  

A little bit of preparation can go a long way in making sure your winter van hire doesn’t turn into a frozen disaster.

4. Timing is Everything  

Short daylight hours and holiday traffic can turn a simple move into a rush. Avoid unnecessary stress by:

  • Aiming for daylight hours: Start your move early to maximise visibility.  
  • Avoid peak times: Mid-morning or early afternoon is best to dodge traffic.
  • Hire for longer than you think: A half-day buffer makes a big difference when things run behind.

The service provided was very quick and most of all the person who served me was excellent with his customer care skills. A credit to the company as you don't get to see service like this anymore.

If I need a van I will get a van, even if they have to stretch their resources. Never did I hear 'we can't help you', sensibly priced and quite flexible. Definitely worth recommending.
