Why a Luton?
A Luton van is a box-bodied cargo vehicle whose cargo area extends over the cab. That overhead section creates extra cubic metres without increasing the overall length by much, so you can fit oversized furniture, large appliances or stacked pallets while still navigating residential roads. Because every 3.5-tonne Luton sits under the same gross vehicle weight rating as a family car (3,500 kg), anyone with a standard Category B licence can drive one—without extra permits.
What is Payload?
Payload is the total weight the van can carry, including passengers. In most cases 3.5-tonne Lutons support between 800kg and 1,210kg. Actual figures change depending on the brand:
- Ford Transit Luton – 1,020 kg
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Luton – 1,000 kg
- Renault Master Luton – 1,210 kg
To work out a specific van's limit, subtract its empty (curb) weight from the 3,500 kg gross rating. A van weighing 2,480 kg unladen therefore leaves 1,020 kg for you, your co-driver and everything you load. With a trailer, you can legally tow another 750 kg, provided you stay within the same 3.5-tonne cap.
Factors that affect payload include a lighter chassis, fewer bolt-on accessories and good basic maintenance. Eliminating extra weight and keeping tyres correctly inflated means you can pack more kit without breaking regulations. Consistent maintenance also preserves full payload capacity.
Cubic Capacity Explained
Space and weight both matter when loading. The average Luton offers around 19 cubic metres of load volume—roughly a studio flat's worth of belongings. You measure the internal length, width and height then multiply them together to get the volume.
Extended bodies give you more room, but note that larger panels weigh extra and can reduce your payload allowance. Interior arrangement makes a difference: built-in racks help stack smaller cartons, whereas an open loading bay is ideal for furniture or large items. Organize your load carefully; fill awkward gaps with lighter goods and strap heavier pieces centrally to maintain proper balance. Proper arrangement gets the best from available space.
Typical Capacities at a Glance
| Model | Payload | Volume |
|---|---|---|
| Ford Transit Luton | 1.02 t | 20.04 m³ |
| Citroën Relay Luton | 1.08 t | 20.40 m³ |
| Iveco Daily Luton | 1.12 t | 17.03 m³ |
| Mercedes Sprinter Luton | 1 t | 18.98 m³ |
| Renault Master Luton | 1.21 t | 18.67 m³ |

Local Guide for Luton Van Hire in Exeter
Driving a larger vehicle around Exeter is much easier when you're familiar with the main routes and local amenities. Whether you're moving home, delivering stock or collecting bulky items, this practical overview will help you plan your route, stops and timings. Access to and from Exeter is generally good for Luton vans, especially if you use the main through-routes. When possible, use the larger arterial roads such as M5 and A30 and watch out for width restrictions, sharp bends and tight corners on smaller roads. It's worth checking your sat nav for any height, width or weight warnings before you travel. When it comes to refilling your tank, you shouldn't struggle to find fuel near Exeter. Popular choices include larger filling stations such as Shell – Alphington Road and Tesco Petrol Station – Exeter Vale, which are easy to access in a Luton van. These usually have wide entrances and exits, making it easier to pull in and out with a long-wheelbase vehicle. If your hire is linked to a clear-out, renovation or upgrade, Exeter is well served by DIY stores and building suppliers. DIY parks and trade counters around Exeter, such as B&Q Exeter and Wickes Exeter, tend to be designed with vans in mind. Checking for any height barriers or time restrictions at the car park entrance can help avoid problems, especially if you're planning an early start or late-evening collection. Food and rest stops are easy to build into your schedule. Service areas and out-of-town retail parks around Exeter, for example McDonald’s – Exeter Retail Park or KFC – Rydon Lane Retail Park, often have fewer tight turns. Keep an eye out for any height-restriction signs at the entrance. Parking and loading rules vary across Exeter, so take a moment to read local signs when you stop. Loading bays near shops and flats can be particularly useful when moving heavy items. Some central areas now operate low-emission schemes, so it's worth checking your registration and the van's classification. This reduces the risk of fines or delays. Once you've planned your routes, fuel stops and loading points, driving a Luton van in Exeter becomes much less stressful. By planning your route, identifying useful stops and checking restrictions in advance, you can complete your move or deliveries with minimal hassle.
