Maidstone is held in high regard for its shopping facilities and its nearness to London. Leeds Castle is one of the most recognisable sights in the local area. It’s just over 37 miles to London city centre from Maidstone - handy if you’re delivering goods from here to the capital. Many people take up van hire in Maidstone in order to deliver goods from the shops and retail parks for home refurbishments in the surrounding suburbs. Being in commuter territory, and with such a transitory and mobile population, there’s often plenty to be said for hiring a van in Maidstone for removals and relocation.
When you’re visiting Maidstone you’ll probably be struck by the diversity of retailers selling goods in the area. There’s Week Street and the small outlet shops in Fremlin Walk, and then there are the big indoor malls such as The Mall Maidstone. Outside the centre of town, there are places like South Aylesford Retail Park, which features a Homebase among others. These shops always give reason for hiring a van in Maidstone; perhaps you’re renovating a house or taking on a big DIY project, or maybe you’re relocating to a new home. If you rent a van in Maidstone the road network is very good if a bit congested. The M20/A20 runs directly into London.
