A local firm will be way better than a national/franchise. The Yellow Pages is your friend...

Thanks again I'm quite capable of using Google- just thought I'd see if anyone could point me in the right direction a bit faster seeing as I've never hired before.

If posting on Scoobynet and waiting for replies is quicker than using google....then you're not as capable of using Google as you think

One thing to be aware of with hire vehicles is the previous hirers, and the muck/germs they leave behind. A bloke I used to work with caught a really nasty virus from a hire van, they eventually found the source of bacteria to be the tuning **** on the radio!

























He died after 3 weeks, the coroners report stated cause of death as van aeriel disease.

Yeah Chip has a point, a mate of mine hired a van in London, when he was loading the back he stepped on a nail, it went through the sole of his shoe and into his foot and he caught HIV
















turned out the nail was bent
