One-Way Van Hire Interstate: How to Get the Best Price

Not every interstate move needs a truck. If you are moving a studio, a share-house room or a few big items, a one-way van can be the simplest way to do it. Here is how one-way van hire works with Bigg Boxx Rentals and how to get the best price.

Is a van enough? A van suits a smaller move; a moving truck suits a household of furniture. Choosing the right size matters because you only pay for the vehicle you need. If you are unsure, our guide on what size truck or van you need walks through it.

How one-way van hire works. Choose your route, van and dates online and your exact GST-inclusive package price appears instantly — no callbacks needed. Collect the van in your departure city, drive it one way, and return it at our depot in your destination city. You never drive the empty van back.

What's included. Every one-way route is one flat, GST-inclusive package with hire days, kilometres and damage protection included. Damage protection comes with a $6,500 excess, and excess reduction is available at checkout. A refundable security bond applies, explained clearly before you pay.

Routes and allowances. Vans and trucks run one-way between Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide in both directions. Each route includes a set number of hire days and kilometres — for example Sydney to Melbourne includes 3 days and 1,000 km, and Melbourne to Brisbane includes 4 days and 2,000 km. If you need more, add extra days and kilometres during booking and the price updates instantly.

Licence. Every one-way truck and van in the Bigg Boxx fleet drives on a standard Australian car licence.

Keeping the cost down. Pick the right size, check your route against the included kilometres before you book, and lock in your price online early. Comparing the total package price — rather than an advertised daily rate — is the easiest way to find the real cheapest option.
