Van rental is agreed separately
Vans are rented from us by arrangement, not through an online booking. In practice that means one message or one call: you tell us the dates, the estimated duration and what kind of load you are carrying, and we confirm availability and the price. That way we make sure you get a vehicle that actually fits the job.
Call 0400 152 520 or send a message through the contact form. Our office is open on weekdays from 9:30 to 17:00 and at weekends by arrangement.
A van is not booked through the booking system
The site’s booking system shows availability and prices for passenger cars in real time, but vans cannot be booked there. So do not look for a van in the booking list – ask us about availability directly and you will get an answer about the duration and the pick-up time at the same time.

Larger vans can be arranged too
If the load does not fit a van of this size, we also arrange larger vans by separate agreement. In a bigger vehicle the load space is taller and longer, so tall cabinets and large furniture fit as well. When you ask, tell us the dimensions of the largest item and an estimate of the amount, and we will suggest a suitable vehicle.
The number of larger vehicles is limited and they come by separate arrangement, so ask about availability well in advance – preferably as soon as the date of the move or the transport is known.
How to ask about van availability
- Tell us the date and time you need the vehicle and the estimated duration.
- Describe the load briefly: moving boxes, furniture, tools or something else.
- Mention the dimensions of the largest item if the load includes tall or long pieces.
- Send a message through the form or call 0400 152 520.
- We confirm availability, the price and the pick-up time.
Tips for moving and transport day
- Measure the largest items in advance and compare them with the load space dimensions.
- Load heavy items low and towards the front, lighter ones on top.
- Secure the load with straps so that it cannot move under braking.
- Protect the load space with a cover and use blankets between surfaces that can rub.
- Arrange help for unloading – moving on your own always takes longer than planned.
- Return the vehicle clean and at the agreed time. The terms are in the rental terms.
Picking up a van in Pasila
Pick-up and return happen at our office at Ratapihantie 11 in Itä-Pasila, between Tripla and the Messukeskus exhibition centre. It is a few minutes’ walk from Pasila station, so you can collect the vehicle by public transport without a separate lift. We go through the vehicle with you before you leave and note down any damage, so that the return runs without any disagreement.
During the winter season the vehicles have winter tyres, and comprehensive insurance is included in the rental. See the directions and map.
Do you need the vehicle for longer?
If the need continues for weeks or months, say so when you ask – a longer period is agreed separately and the terms are set out in one go. Read more about long-term car rental or see the passenger car classes on the Rental Cars page.
