Furniture and appliances
Plan around the dimensions of the largest item and the room needed to load it. Packaging, handles and door openings can make a difference, even when the item seems smaller than the load area.

Useful load space.
For a busy day.
A short wheelbase or medium van is a practical category to compare for furniture collections, tools and everyday deliveries. Check the usable space rather than relying only on the SWB label.
Trade work and service calls
A medium van may provide room for tools, stock and equipment for a job. Consider how you will secure the load and which items you need to reach first when you arrive.
Short moves and deliveries
For a smaller move or a series of collections, compare the capacity with your full item list. Several trips can take longer than choosing a bigger van, so plan the whole job before booking.
Measure first. Book with confidence.
Check the fit.
Plan the loading.
- Check the actual load length; SWB and medium are category names, not exact dimensions.
- Confirm whether manual or automatic transmission is essential.
- Allow for protective wrapping, securing equipment and access to the rear doors.
Vehicle category names are a starting point. The linked vehicle page provides the category details; the branch can confirm what is available for your booking.
Need an automatic? View the automatic medium van, or compare the electric automatic option. Confirm branch availability and, for an electric van, suitability and charging arrangements.

Move up to a long wheelbase van if the medium category does not provide enough usable length. For a lighter, smaller collection, compare the compact van before deciding.

Any daily equivalent is the full seven-day total divided by seven; it is not the one-day rate. Weekend hires and extensions use the same standard vehicle rates. Longer periods and specialist agreements are quoted for your dates. These are standard category guide rates; confirm the vehicle, dates, optional extras and complete quote with your branch.

SWB / medium hire.
Your questions answered.
Practical answers for planning your hire from Maidstone.
Where can I collect a swb / medium van in Maidstone?
Unit 1, Spectrum Business Estate, Bircholt Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 9YP. Confirm the vehicle and handover times before travelling. View the branch and map.
Are SWB and medium vans the same hire category?
On this page, SWB and medium refer to Regal’s Short Wheel Base category. Wheelbase names vary between manufacturers, so check the dimensions of the actual vehicle you are offered.
Is the medium van automatic?
The linked standard Short Wheel Base vehicle page describes the standard category. Automatic and electric automatic medium vans are separate options. Confirm the correct transmission and category with the branch before booking.
Is a medium van big enough for a small move?
It depends on the full item list, dimensions and weight. It may suit a smaller collection or move, but there is no guaranteed number of rooms that fits one van. Compare a long wheelbase van if you need more room.
Where can I find the current vehicle specifications and price?
Open the matching vehicle page for the category details and advertised hire options. The exact make, model, dimensions and available payload may vary. Confirm your dates, location and final quote before booking.
What is included with standard self-drive hire?
VAT, insurance, unlimited mileage and roadside assistance are included with standard eligible self-drive hire, subject to current terms. Optional extras and any specialist arrangements are confirmed before booking.
Can I hire for one day, a week or longer?
Ask about daily, weekly and longer-term hire for your dates. Agree the collection and return times; the booking confirmation sets out the rental period and charges.
