Van Rental in Coventry. Is rental of Lutons, Mercedes Sprinters or other vehicles with or without tail lifts the best option?
A professional transport solution could save you money & headaches – compared to Self-Drive Van Hire or a Man & Van Service.
When faced with the need to transport large, bulky & heavy items many businesses or members of the public rush to find a local self-drive vehicle rental company to move their items. But is van rental really the best way to go?
Here at DEFENDA Couriers we are increasingly being approached to carry goods by organisations & individuals who previously relied on hiring vans on a self-drive basis for non-standard deliveries; but have subsequently realised that there are many advantages to outsourcing the work completely to a transport & light haulage company. Often the price of short term hire of Luton tail lifts vans or even standard long wheel base sprinters is far higher than employing a company with a standing fleet such as us, to carry the goods to their destination. It also means that you or a member of your staff is not tied up for the day as a makeshift driver and can get on with other important day to day duties.
As a Coventry based nationwide transport & courier company, Defenda Couriers regularly have vehicles travelling from Coventry to most other parts of the UK and it may even be possible to carry a customer’s items as a part load to these destinations at a substantial discount.
To find out if Van Rental is really the right option for you or if a professional transport solution provides a better option, simply call us on Coventry 02476 466000 to discuss your requirements. One of our team will be happy to advise on the best way to ship your goods.
A simple phone call & we can normally have a vehicle on site within 30 minutes for customers in Coventry, Leamington, Kenilworth, Nuneaton, Rugby or Warwick and many other areas nearby.
Choosing the right shipping for artwork & valuable furniture
Shipping valuable & fragile artwork including: ceramics, framed paintings or other pictures?
When it comes to transporting works of art commercially or simply as gifts to family or friends, choosing the right carrier can be a daunting task for the seller or sender, as often the cheapest method is inherently the most risky.
Valuable works of art often benefit from dedicated vehicle delivery.
Hub & spoke parcel networks such as those operated by all the main UK parcel carriers including: Parcel Force, TNT, FedEx, DHL, DPD, UPS, Yodel & Hermes offer low cost delivery – but to achieve it, short cuts are taken with the handling of their customers packages. Excessive manual handling of your item on and off numerous vehicles, combined with conveyor based sortation dramatically increases the risk of breaking goods in-transit; which is why ceramic & glass items are excluded from their standard or even their enhanced insurance schemes.
Whilst investing in good quality packaging can dramatically reduce damages (see DEFENDAPACK http://bit.ly/1NqGDbK for a range of framed picture boxes & other protective packaging) it will be unlikely to eliminate them altogether. Therefore, when it comes to valuable works of art like paintings, porcelain or some antique furniture – a dedicated vehicle offers by far the safest method of transporting your goods to the intended recipient. This method removes much of the manual handling of your consignment & completely negates the need for any form of automated processing; your package being only loaded at the pick-up point and off-loaded at its destination. Obviously some priceless works like ‘Mona Lisa’ might need protecting by a battalion of elite troops during transit but I guess she doesn’t get about much these days, so her and her ilk are unlikely to be an issue to most shippers I suspect.
Our UK Groupage Service operates in much the same way but instead of having a vehicle of its own, your shipment will be accompanied by at least one other item. It can however help reduce your delivery costs significantly, so has a valuable role in helping you achieve a cost effective delivery to your clients.

Packaging your parcel or courier shipments
Protecting Your Goods In Transit
Whenever you send an item out through a parcel network or courier service you will be faced with the task of ensuring it is sufficiently packaged to protect it during transit. The level of protection required will largely depend on the type of goods you are shipping & of course the way that your chosen carrier is likely to handle your shipment. Here at DEFENDA COURIERS our drivers are extremely careful with the items they handle & we only use trusted conscientious 3rd Party Networks for parcels & pallets but you will still need to provide some degree of protective packaging.
Our connected packaging supplies company, COVENTRY based DEFENDAPACK may well be able to help with your packaging needs at highly competitive rates on all in-transit packaging goods wherever you are based in the UK.
