You don't necessarily require a van. A Honda Fit can accommodate a
French Double. That's how mine was delivered.
Look around for moving supply stores to find moving blankets and straps.
For my last two house moves, one in a Pod and one by UHaul truck, I
simply cut up sheathing grade plywood and styrofoam sheets - principally
for insulation with some cushioning.
You also want cushioning between the lid and top of instrument and strap
to keep snug. I like Lee Valley Dome Bumpers - inauthentic but
invisible. Pad where the strap(s) go around bare corners.
If using a generic moving blanket, you must ensure the instrument won't
slip out.
In good weather two careful people can get a bare instrument through
doorways and up and down stairs.
A musician or rental operation will use fitted cover, spine board and
dolly.
You have to weigh hours of building a box that can withstand commercial
movers versus the time of driving it there and back yourself.
