It doesn't matter how convenient it is to rent a van, when neither you, nor the people inside your social circle, know how to actually drive a van. I've had a regular car driver's license for decades. An EV van is a whole different beast, as I found out the hard way while helping a friend move between apartments.
- WalterBright 3y agoThe U-Haul vans are made to be easy to drive for regular drivers. I haven't had any trouble with them. For example, they have big side mirrors, so you have an excellent view of where the back corners are.
- nradov 3y agoI don't understand. There's nothing special or difficult about driving a regular van or moving truck. I've never had any special training and I just went and did it when necessary since I was 16. We're not talking about a commercial heavy truck here.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoYes, just make sure to take corners wider than one would in a car.
- spidersenses 3y agoI assume you live in the US. In Europe, streets are usually narrower, parking spots even more so, in urban areas there will be more pedestrians crossing the road randomly, and many people don't even possess a driver's license in the first place, or don't own a car. My original comment was just to point out that getting rid of clutter isn't as easy as "just take a van and dump the clutter in a landfill."
