    Hi - Hopefully someone here can recommend some companies to me.
    I am moving out of my apartment to a new apartment in the coming weeks, and I don't have a car, so hoping to hire a removal van of some sorts. I can probably get my stuff moved in one trip, as I'm not moving any furniture, I just wondered if anyone has any recommendations? I don't want to get ripped off! Thanks in advance!

    Oh and I'm in the Dublin 18 area....

    maybe give these guys a try?

    http://www.enterprise.ie

    they're based down on Pottery Road, and if you only need it for a few hours rather than a whole day, you might be able to ring them and haggle a better deal, any company with any common sense won't turn away the business

    Van Tasks.ie I highly rec. The owner is a regular poster on boards and some other boardies rec'd them when we needed to move from Tipp to London and they were great. Good rates, fast service even in the middle of a blizzard.

    I moved house in March and used Two Men and a Truck and cannot recommend them highly enough. I found their rates were the best and the drivers were on time, nice, friendly and worked so hard. Would use them again without a moments hesitation (well except for the fact that I cannot stomach the thought of packing up and moving again:o).
    However, if you're moving clothes, cds, dvds and the like and nothing else why not hire a Transit with Enterprise and do it all yourself? You can rent a LWB Transit for €60 for 24 hours.

    Thanks alot to everyone for the replies, and sorry for the delay. I am moving in the next 2 weeks now definitely, and haven't contacted any companies as yet. I will definitely take all your advice as above though, so thanks again! Also, I would hire a transit if I could drive, but that is half my problem at the moment is that I can't drive! I will let you how I get on though.

    Hi all.

    Just to update. I ended up finally moving over the weekend! I found a guy from this site, http://www.getcracking.ie

    I really highly recommend using him, he was on time, very fast, efficient, trustworthy and extremely patient with the move. I had alot of crap!

    Would certainly recommend his services if anyone needs to move in the future. :)
