This summer 3 riders and 2 girlfriends are looking to head to the masters worlds in andora.
Looking to hire some kind of 6 seater van, just wondered if anyone has done anything similar and could recommend any hire company to deal with / avoid?
Cheers.
If you're taking bikes, look for a local band van company, they're the best source for renting ones with crew cabs. Me and some friends used Gigwheels in Manchester [s]this[/s] last summer to get four people with eight bikes to the alps and back.
We hired a VW T5 Shuttle, which is the minibus Transporter van. It had 8 seats, but there was only 4 of us so we removed the back set of seats which was just a matter of pulling a lever, this would still allow 5 people. This gave us room for our bikes inside and all our kit. It also mean't I could drive it because it was under 8 seats, we clarified this with DVLA.
It was also pretty good on fuel running at about 40mpg, we went to Morzine in it.

Ive done exactly this 3 times. Great van and a lot better for driving that distance than a actual van.
Just out of interest how much was it?
Thanks for the advice, just had a look at band vans. Could be the one.
