Hi all is there anyone in southern spain who needs a empty van driven back to the uk please pm me if you do or you know someone who does many thanks Paddy

It's a very strange request, but I will ask around. Do you have an HGV license or will it need to be a smaller type of van??

hi a smaller van like a sprinter if someone needs it bringing back i will do it for them and pay the petrol

I cant really see that someone would be in that position, but who knows you may be lucky

In Free beer there is info on one way van hire.

I want to try my luck first before i rent

Not wanting to stir up a honets nest!, but, how would that work with insurance and your name not being on the rental agreement unless you are present when the van is rented?

have you got a van or not tim im sure the insurance could be sorted out with a hire company if not a hire van then would sort out the insurance with my company in uk

Sorry, No I haven't, I was just curious about the logistics.

sorry, dont understand your reply in context to my comment

Mitzyboy, I think what Paddy07 is saying, is that if anyone is renting a van and then driving from UK to Spain with a full load, but has nothing to go back to UK with, he will use the empty space, pay for the fuel back to the UK and drive the van back.

The chances maybe slim, but it's worth a punt I guess. I have thought about who I could ask, but everyone I know here, already has their stuff here.

If that is correct, then I suspect that it would cause problems with the rental agreement, and the insurance as the details of the other driver would have to be given to the hirers.

If you have a van or know someone with a van please reply i will sort out insurance and other details please leave that to me but dont put people of this thread with negative comments

Great idea Paddy, maybe someone planning to move over to Spain soon would be grateful of such an offer. I know we would have as we were planning to hire a self drive van but didn't want to have to drive it back empty, in the end we hired a company to do the removal and had no end of problems with them Ignore the negative comments and good luck

Paddy,

When do you need the van? If you can wait until January then you're in luck!
