| Try Kendall Hire ....Guildford 0483 574434 or Aldershot 0252 333598.
I have used them on several occassions, a bit down market but the
cheapest after 30 mins or ringing around on the yellow pages.

Have you tried Salford van hire, or Wallasey?
On the same topic, anyone know of a local Liverpool firm that does car
trailer hire, including tow car? I'm moving a B from Irby to Ellesmere
Port, and don't fancy towing it.

| 1026.5 | The Local Garage | MALLET::MARTIN | | Tue Apr 17 1990 18:31 | 12 |
| My experience of hiring Luton vans and Merc Trucks (in connection with my
hobby) is that the best rates are offered by local garages who own, say,
ten vehicles.
I've always found them by noticing the vans parked on a garage forecourt or
by following up adverts in "Yellow Pages".
By the way - far as I know the Digital car insurance won't cover you
while driving vans. The hirers can arrange cover for you for the day or
you can drive on your own personal insurance (if you have such).

| 1026.7 | More On Costs | MALLET::MARTIN | | Thu Apr 19 1990 13:45 | 14 |
| Re 1026.6
Thanks Martin. 30% discount is worth investigating next time I hire.
Some thoughts on the subject of costs;-
- Lutons drink fuel. I've had them as low as 10mpg, so I estimate
my costs on that basis.
- Daily rates can seem cheap, but if there's also a charge per
mile or km then that mounts up - my trips are usually about 500
miles return.
- Some hire companies hand over vehicles with a near empty fuel
tank. The more fuel in the vehicle when you hand it back, the
more money you are giving to the next hirer.

| 1026.8 | Wanna hire a van, Jon????

As I told you, in my experience AVIS aren't really sure what they're doing in
this area ... They couldn't make up their minds whether or not I could have a
van at Digital rates, and the insurance was another nightmare! My advise is
definitely go hunting locally - there'll be some small cheapo outfit who'll hire
you a Luton at a really good price. Go for it!

| 1026.9 | car trailer near Dec Park? | SUPER7::BROWN | I'm real sure; it's not an adverb | Mon Mar 18 1991 13:19 | 9 |
| Similarly to .4...
Does anyone in the Dec Park area have a car trailer I could hire/borrow
or know where I can hire one locally at reasonable rates? I need to get
an Escort van to Torquay, and am thinking about towing it as an
alternative to driving it.
Cheers, Laurie.

The load weight of the trailer is 900kg, so if you look something out
of the back of the van then it would be ok!
If you're interested, then please get in touch via mail
(VOGON::MITCHELLE) or phone me Dec Park x6485
