Not every driver does the same work, and that’s actually a good thing. One prefers to drive from city to city with a van full of boxes. Another sets up the lift at a front entrance and is done in two hours. In this article you’ll read how to choose what suits your vehicle — and your day — so VanX stays a side income and not a grind.

Van: from A to B

The classic ride: pick up, drive, deliver. Handy if you have a van, don’t mind the kilometres and like being on the road. In the app you immediately see distance and earnings. No surprise on arrival, no “could you just make one extra stop?” without it being included in the price.

Furniture lift: shorter, heavier, often more lucrative

Lift rides are more often at a single address. No long drive to the other side of the region, but lifting and operating the lift. If you can do that, you take on jobs others leave behind — upstairs flats, narrow stairs, white goods that have to go out through the window. Earnings are often higher, the ride is different: more craftsmanship, less motorway.

Mixing is fine

Many drivers do both, depending on the day. Busy Saturday: the lift in the neighbourhood. Quiet Tuesday: a longer van ride. In the app you filter on what comes in. You decide whether you want lifting or kilometres that afternoon.

How do you choose in practice?

• Look at your vehicle. No lift? Then lift rides aren’t for you — and that’s okay.
• Look at your energy. After a physically demanding morning, a calm van ride is sometimes smarter.
• Look at the area. Lift rides in your own neighbourhood save travel time. Long van rides pay off if the earnings add up.

What you can expect from VanX

The price is fixed before you accept. Payouts via Stripe, insight into your earnings in the app. No haggling on the pavement. Support helps if something goes wrong with a ride; you don’t have to play customer service.

Tips

• Read the ride description. “Third floor, no lift in the building” is a different story from “ground floor, parking in front of the door”.
• Keep your work area realistic. Too large = rides you end up skipping anyway.
• Turn on your schedule. Then you won’t get requests at 07:00 if you only want to start at 09:00.

Conclusion

Don’t just look at “is there work?”, but at which type of ride you handle best. Van, furniture lift or both: at VanX you choose. That way driving stays something you do on the side — on your terms.
