For a 60 square meter apartment it should be at least a sprinter to avoid too many trips.

With the normal car driving license are you allowed to rent and drive vans with a total weight of 3.5 tons. For larger vans, trailers or trucks you need a driving license class C1 or C.

The road traffic regulations only for trucks over 7.5 tons (driving license C or CE) a minimum age is required. The corresponding driving license may only be acquired from 21 years of age. Beyond that there are no further legal age restrictions. However, some require car rental a minimum age for the rental of larger vehicles or require a certain period of driving experience or. driving license possession. The companies themselves decide whether transporters can be rented at the age of 18, 19, 21 or even 25. Depending on the age of the driver, some rental companies may also have young driver fees are incurred, as the following example shows:
rental company |

Frequently asked questions about van rental
Frequently asked questions before booking
Which vehicles are considered transporters?
The terms transporter and van are used in common parlance for all vehicles that have a loading area. A legally binding definition does not exist. The road traffic regulations only distinguish vans from trucks by the permissible total weight (i.e. empty weight including load). Since many manufacturers have expanded their range of models over the years and many also offer transport as a variant for passenger transport, it is often difficult to distinguish between the two. A distinction is often made between high-roof station wagons, delivery vans or panel vans, vans in short and long versions and light trucks.
What does it cost to rent a transporter?
The cost of renting a van varies depending on the type of vehicle rental company, rental place and time. If you want to save money, you should pick up the moving van on tuesdays and not on weekends. Then you pay per day only about one third of the price, as if you rent the transporter or truck on saturday or. Sunday pick up.
How can I compare different van providers??
If you need a cheap transporter, you can rent it at many major car rental companies book. In addition, many furniture stores such as ikea, Hoffner or xxxlutz and DIY stores such as obi, hagebaumarkt or hornbach offer the possibility of renting vans and trailers.

Which transporter is suitable for which move?

With which driver’s license can I drive a transporter??
Most transporters can be Class B driver’s license vans for hire. However, be sure to pay attention to the weight. Because the car rental companies only check whether customers generally have a suitable driving license for a vehicle. The tenant is responsible for respecting the maximum loading limits.
What is the cost of one-way rental for a van??
As with rental cars, the term "one-way rental" means that the vehicle is delivered to a different station than it was picked up from. As this causes more effort for the hirer to bring the vehicle back to the place of departure, the following are permitted one-way rentals usually much more expensive. Check in advance if the station you wish to return to also accepts vans. Since this is not the case everywhere, you can expect even higher costs for one-way rentals for vans than for cars.
are there special student offers for vans?
Many rental companies have special rates for students and grant about ten to 15 percent discount. In order to be able to use these particularly favorable transporters, the renter must usually present a valid student ID. In addition, such offers are often only valid at special conditions, which you can find out directly from the transporter rental company.
How do I apply for a no stopping order for my move??
Responsible for the application of an official stopping ban is the road traffic authority of the city, of the district or the district. The permit is usually subject to a fee; the cost of the temporary restraining order varies depending on the place of residence. It should be applied for at least two weeks before the moving day.
If the ban has been approved, the applicant still has to take care of the no-stopping signs for the marking. These are rented by various companies. The putting up the prohibition signs should be made two to four days before the move. If a vehicle is parked within the no-stopping zone at the time of the move, the public order office can be called in during its office hours. However, there is no legal right to enforce the stopping ban.
Can I also rent a van with a trailer?
Some rental companies also have low priced transporter with trailer on offer, although this is the exception rather than the rule. even the normal class B car driver’s license entitles you to drive with a trailer. as is the case with vans, other classes of driver’s licenses are required for larger and heavier trucks.

Frequently asked questions during the booking process
How many free kilometers do I need for a move with a transporter??
As a rule, transporters with 100 to 200 free kilometers. For removals within a city these are usually sufficient. However, if you drive more than this, you will be charged a flat rate per kilometer, which varies depending on the rental company
Are there any special features in insurance for vans??
in principle, the same recommendations and tips apply to vans as to rental cars in general. make sure you have sufficient coverage for liability and comprehensive insurance:
- Third party liability: minimum one million euros or US dollars.
- Partial/comprehensive insurance: vans in particular are subjected to heavy loads during loading and unloading. Scratches, dents and dings are practically pre-programmed. For this reason, here are offers with "premium protection" or without deductible recommended. At CHECK24 you can also filter for the appropriate insurance cover for vans to find the best and cheapest offer.
Frequently asked questions during pickup
What to consider when picking up a van?
As with ordinary rental cars, when you pick up a van, you should check the mileage and the damage log compare with the actual condition of the vehicle. Since vans are often loaded with large, heavy items, dents, dings and scratches are not uncommon. Therefore, pay particular attention to damage to the interior, in the area of the doors to the cargo area and on the roof. The latter are often not so easy to recognize. Many van rental companies offer additional moving equipment such as blankets, packing material or moving boxes at the corresponding stations.
During the journey
what are the best tips for loading a van?
The most important securing the load. Make sure the cartons or furniture can’t slide around. On the one hand, they can be damaged, on the other hand, the center of gravity of the vehicle can change abruptly, which can be very dangerous while driving in a curve.
Tip: the heaviest items should be placed as far forward and downward as possible in the van. This prevents them from slipping when braking and from damaging lighter, fragile objects.
What are the dimensions of a van?
Vans are usually longer and above all higher than most cars. Therefore, not only should increased caution when maneuvering but also when maneuvering in or out of a. Driving through parking garages, bridges and underpasses. The clearance height is often indicated on a sign at narrow points, the height of the vehicle can be taken from the vehicle documents.
What do I have to bear in mind when maneuvering a van??
vans are clearly more confusing than most cars. This is partly due to the length, width and height of the van, and partly due to the fact that there is (usually) no rear-view mirror, as there is no rear window due to the design of the van. Especially when reversing and maneuvering, it is therefore advisable to assign someone as a guide to indicate distances or to watch out for pedestrians, cyclists or traffic in general. Although there are rear view cameras for vans, they are still relatively rare.
What special features do vans have in terms of driving behavior?
Although they are often much larger than ordinary passenger cars, many vans are on a par with them in terms of acceleration and top speed in hardly anything after. This is due to the powerful diesel engines that are usually installed in this class of vehicle. However, the situation is quite different when it comes to braking. Especially when the van is fully loaded, the braking distance is significantly increased and even curves can only be negotiated more slowly. In addition, box vans are much more susceptible to side winds.
How fast are vans allowed to drive?
In germany, there are currently the following regulations for vans no speed limits. However, inexperienced drivers in particular should exercise caution. Because weight, handling and susceptibility to crosswinds are even more significant at higher speeds.
