Our Backup Plan: Ensuring Reliable Removals with Metro Self Drive

At Ravenhill Removals, reliability and peace of mind are at the heart of everything we do. We know that when you trust us with your house or office move, you expect it to go smoothly, without unexpected delays or equipment failures getting in the way.

That’s why we’ve put in place a robust backup plan for those rare occasions when one of our vans is unavailable. Whether it’s a peak busy period, a breakdown on a job, or routine maintenance that temporarily reduces our fleet, we’re fully prepared to keep your move on track.

Partnering with Metro Self Drive

To ensure we always have access to quality vehicles when needed, Ravenhill Removals partners with Metro Self Drive. Based locally, Metro Self Drive is a trusted business with over 25 years of experience in vehicle hire.

Their reliable service means that if we ever need to source an additional van at short notice, we can do so quickly and efficiently, ensuring no disruption to your moving day.

Access to Quality Luton Vans

Metro Self Drive maintains a fleet of well-maintained 3.5 Tonne Luton vans, just like those we use for our own removals work. These vans are perfect for transporting furniture safely and securely, with the space and loading capacity needed for even larger moves.

If one of our own Lutons is ever unavailable, due to mechanical issues, servicing, or during especially busy periods, we can hire a replacement immediately to keep your move running smoothly.

More Than Just Luton Vans

Metro Self Drive also offers a range of other vehicles that can help us serve you even better:

  • Smaller Panel Vans: Ideal for tighter spaces, smaller loads, or special delivery requirements.
  • Minibuses: Available for hire if you or your group need additional transport for people during your move.

This flexibility means we can adapt to almost any moving scenario.
