Hi.

Me and the gf are looking for a weekend break, I really would like a transporter one day so thought could look into hiring one for a weekend away. Only trouble is I'm finding most need a minimum age of 25 to hire.

Does anyone know of any companies providing something like this in the south wales area?

Tom

I think you'll be lucky, at 21 (I'm now 22) all I could hire was a long wheel base transit from a [s]slightly[/s] very dodgy rental place, there was a £1000 cash deposit too as well as a swipe from a credit card 😯

How long before you can afford the transporter? Check the insurance options too? Might be worth waiting a couple of years really, hire companies don't really like young drivers in expensive things

Well the money in insurance excess etc. they would want from you would go towards a nice B+B or hotel probably.
You just have to accept you fall into a statistical catagory that is more likey to do something stupid, be less experienced, has more accidents and take a nice VW camper to a festival/party and it gets trashed.
Those comments are not specific but it is part of the age breakdown you are in unfortunatly.
You may have a bit more luck with a non snob branded van from a basic hire place. Failing that wicked campers etc. will probably hire you a heap for a rip off.
