I might have a job on, starting 16th june for 3 days. I will need a Luton, pref long wheel base. Thought I'd ask here before trying the local hire companies, as I'd rather my money went to a like minded individual.

It's for a trip up to the isle of skye, the only small stumbling block I have, is my licence is still adressed as my parents house. Didn't realise I'd forgoten to send it off till today, and doubt I'd get it back in time for the trip

Anybody got any sensible ideas or a van I can hire?

you should get your licence back as i have had to send mine twice in last two weeks and came back quickly each time.


isle of skye, that is long haul !!!!


have you tried Royspeed .

Royspeed is no longer a member on here so I doubt he will answer any PMs.

1,268 miles round trip got to go from essex

Question about licence then....... mines the old paper one, no photo, do I have to pay to change my address???

it appears to be free to change address, but better with a photo licence which costs £19.00

Are you wanting to actually hire a van or do you just need large item(s) brought down fom skye?

i am busy that weekend or I would offer.

Need to hire a van. I got a job on that would mean me making 2 or 3 trips in my tiny tranny, so need a luton to make the job easier. Just thought I'd ask on here, as stated, would rather give my money to someone off here rather than the scallies round Derby

Aw, I fancied popping over to skye aswell

O.K. Looks like I've won the job, need a van late on the 19th till teatime on 22nd june. If any body can help let me know. I've found a local hire company who can do it for £150 all in, mk6? luton, could be mk7, I don't know the difference but smart and it's still a tranny which is the main thing

Would rather I gave my money to one of you lot though

Big P.s. if anybody has anything in scottland, that they want fetching back towards the midlands, let me know

What mileage is included in your £150.00

Unlimited, fully comp including GIT and AA cover, pretty pleased really as I thought it might cost more

well that is very good, 1268 miles with the extras for £150.00 after you get back you will have to let us all know, which company you are bankcrupting

It's a hire company called Nightingale, here in Derby. Obviously that's just for the hire, and last time I hired a van from them, the tank was almost completely dry litterally on fumes getting to the garage to put some in.
