Moving vans for rent
Moving can be a stressful task, and looking for a van rental for moving can be a complex process.
But with the right planning and the right tools, you can transform this experience into something much more manageable and efficient.
At Comauto Rent a Car, we understand the importance of having a suitable vehicle to facilitate your move, especially on an island as diverse as Tenerife.
That is why we have created this complete guide to help you organize and carry out a smooth move.
Pre-planning: the key to success
Before you start moving, it is essential to plan ahead. Pre-organization can save you a lot of time and stress. Here are some essential steps:
- Make an inventory: make a list of all the items you need to move. This will help you determine the size of the vehicle you will need to rent and avoid forgetfulness.
- Determine the size of the vehicle: depending on the inventory, choose a commercial vehicle that fits your needs. Comauto offers a wide variety of vans and commercial vehicles, ideal for any type of move.
- Establish a schedule: plan each phase of the move ahead of time, from packing to moving and organizing at the new location. This will allow you to better manage your time and avoid last-minute stress.
2. Choosing the right commercial vehicle
Comauto Rent a Car offers a diverse fleet of commercial vehicles, especially for moving van rentals, to suit different needs. When choosing a vehicle, consider the following aspects:
- Cargo capacity: make sure the vehicle has enough space for all your items. It is preferable to choose a vehicle a little larger than you think you will need to avoid multiple trips.
- Ease of loading and unloading: some vehicles are designed with wide doors and low access, which facilitates the loading and unloading process.
- Vehicle condition: all Comauto vehicles are meticulously maintained to ensure reliability and safety. This is crucial to avoid problems during the move.
3. Smart packaging: tips and tricks
Proper packing is crucial to protect your belongings and maximize space in the vehicle. Here are some tips:
- Use uniformly sized boxes: they facilitate stacking and space utilization. Make sure the boxes are sturdy and in good condition.
- Label everything: mark each box with its contents and the room it belongs in at the new location. This simplifies organization and unpacking.
- Protection of fragile items: wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or blankets to prevent damage. Place them in boxes labeled fragile and make sure they are not at the bottom of the stack.
- Disassemble large pieces of furniture: if possible, disassemble large pieces of furniture to facilitate moving and save space. Keep all small parts, such as screws and bolts, in labeled bags.
4. Load the vehicle efficiently
How you load your vehicle can make a big difference in the efficiency and safety of your move. Follow these steps to load the vehicle optimally:
- Heavy load first: place the heaviest and largest objects first, distributing the weight evenly. This provides a stable base and reduces the risk of damage.
- Take advantage of vertical space: use the vertical space of the vehicle by stacking boxes and objects safely. Place lighter and more fragile objects on top of heavier ones.
- Secure the load: use ropes, straps or nets to secure the load and prevent it from moving during transport. This is especially important on roads with curves or slopes.
- Maintain access to necessary items: if you know you will need certain items immediately upon arrival, place them at the end of the vehicle for easy access.
In Comauto’s moving van rental, you have different makes and models of commercial vehicles.
5. Safe and efficient driving
Driving a commercial vehicle can be different from driving a standard car. Here are some tips for safe and efficient driving:
- Familiarize yourself with the vehicle: before starting, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the vehicle’s controls and features. Adjust the mirrors and seat for better visibility and comfort.
- Drive with caution: commercial vehicles are often larger and heavier, which can affect maneuverability and braking. Drive slowly and keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
- Plan your route: know the route you are going to take and be aware of height, weight or access restrictions in certain areas. Use a GPS or navigation application to avoid surprises.
- Regular breaks: if your move involves a long commute, be sure to take regular breaks to avoid fatigue and maintain concentration.
6. Unpacking and organizing in the new home
Once you’ve arrived at your new home, follow these steps for efficient unpacking and organization:
- Place the boxes in the corresponding rooms: Thanks to pre-labeling, you can place each box directly in the corresponding room, which makes unpacking easier.
- Unpack the essentials first: Start with the essentials you need for the first few days, such as clothing, hygiene items and basic kitchen utensils.
- Furniture assembly: Reassemble the disassembled furniture and put it back in place before unpacking the rest of the boxes. This will allow you to organize the space more efficiently.
- Order and cleanliness: As you unpack, dispose of boxes and packing materials immediately to keep the space tidy and avoid clutter.

- Ask for help: don’t hesitate to ask for help from friends or family. A few extra hands can make the process much faster and easier.
