Australia Van Rental

The first thing you should know when looking for van rental in Australia is that there are two types of vans. The first is the standard passenger van, which is often referred to as a panel van. These are great for families who don't require much space but still need some form of transport. They are typically used for short trips around town and for transporting goods such as furniture and appliances. The second type of van is known as a cargo van, and these are generally larger than the passenger vans. Cargo vans are ideal if you're planning on moving house, they are perfect for transporting bulky items like wardrobes and bed frames. If you plan on renting a van in Australia then you'll probably be interested in hiring a cargo van, however if you just want to rent a passenger van then we recommend going for a smaller model.

When choosing between a passenger van and a cargo van, it's important to consider how many passengers you intend to take along with you. A cargo van is obviously bigger than a passenger van, therefore it will hold more people. On the other hand, a passenger van is lighter and therefore has less weight to carry. This means that a passenger van will cost less per person, however it won't necessarily be able to accommodate everyone. In order to find out exactly how many people you can fit into a particular van, check the maximum capacity section of each company's website. Most websites will tell you how many seats the van has, and from here you can work out how many people you can fit inside.
