One way Van hire help
hello
can anybody please recommend a one way Van hire (luton van size) from Plymouth area to Alicante? We are going to have to hire a Luton from Scotland to Plymouth through a national company, leave that van at Pymouth, unload then re-load a one-way to Alicante.
I have found a couple of sites on the internet, but any recommendations would be welcome,
thanks in advance

Re: One way Van hire help
See if this helps, www.j-hire.co.uk do one way hire.
But work out total costs first.
I think you will find it very expensive and a lot of hassle.
UK van hire Scotland to South coast on way £100? j-hire (minimum 4 days check website) £460?
Ferry cost UK-Spain £400 diesel £400, plus all the loading and unloading TWICE!!!!
Try contacting www.landstransport.webs.com they will give you a pretty competative quote and they do the loading, unloading, and all the driving.
I've always found them very good and have nothing but praise for them.

Re: One way Van hire help
Isn't it cheaper just to buy a secondhand van since you will have to pay a lot for one way hire. Companies do it but it is so very expenssive. I hired a car from Lyon to Valencia this December and after they asked 430 eur I decided to ask a friend to return it to Lyon as she was going anyway. It cost me 120 eur that way.

Re: One way Van hire help
Hi thanks for your replies, smilz I have pm'd you.
Even saving a thousand pounds would be worth the hassle as we are in the nightmare situation of still trying to sell our house in UK so faced with 2 mortgages soon!
To be honest, I'd rather it that way as I'm fed up with "bargain hunters" thinking we will take a stupid offer! Thanks to the media, nobody wants to buy anything nowadays unless they get a "knock down price"

Re: One way Van hire help
Sorry - all the vans I've seen are equipped with a reverse gear and steering wheel so I don't think they fulfil your criteria
