    Hi all,
    Im wondering if anyone knows where I can hire a van to drive over to france. I need to move some stuff to Marseille and be able to drop the van off there and fly back. Anyone got any ideas?


    Cheers

    Dave

    I'd say you're very unlikely to be able to find any van hire firm that would allow you to do anything like that, at least not without charging you an arm and a leg to get the van back here again.

    What kind of "stuff" is it? If it's household effects, you could try getting in touch with a French removals company in the Marseille area that has a job moving someone over here, and they'd be only too grateful to have something to bring back as opposed to returning empty.

    I'd imagine AVIS Truck & Van Rental will rent you a van. You'll need to get AA five star insurance so as the van will be covered for all eventualities. But as Alun already said, it's unlikely that you will be able to get a one-way rental. Why not drive the van back?
