Seems like quite a few of the nationals don't do European hire 🙁
Any pointers as to who is best to use for 12 or 15 seater to take extended family over to France for a long weekend?
Tried a VW commercial centre. They do hire their vans out.
Thanks, will try them in the morning.
Anyone else got any recommendations?
Sixt, and I think Europcar but they add a charge per day for each day abroad?
Why does it need to be a national one ? We hired a big LDV turbo diesel to go from Hudds to Austria in 95 from a local hire company. Loaded up with students and kayaks it was dog slow - upon inspection whilst on the ferry it turned out that there was no turbo..... longest road trip ever......
The law in the UK is less strict than Europe. [url= http://documents.hants.gov.uk/transport/CTFactSheet3-Takingaminibusabroad-2011-07-21.pdf ]Read this[/url]. We wanted to take a groups of Scouts and ended up using multiple cars instead.
Yeha - is that just for organisations though? Assumes for hire and reward in introduction - which this trip isn't, just a family trip.
Edit - UK driving licence entitlements are valid for temporary visits, so my ancient licence covers me and I will check with hire co regarding tachos and speed limiters etc
Not sure where you are based, but [url= http://www.westberksvanhire.co.uk/optional-extras/ ]WestBerkshireVans[/url] do.
Thanks thegingerone not too far away, will give them a ring
We'd covered the hire and reward by looking to use a scout group owned vehicle. There's also a limitation when there's more than 8 passengers. I can't remember the detail on that.
We used https://www.vansforbands.co.uk for a support van for a recent cycle trip in Europe bit pricey compared to some others but a really nice van
