Van Hire for Kit Collection


Andrew O Byrne White - Ireland AO

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Trying to plan my collection on the 7th and I've stumbled across a minor difficulty; "minor" being the word of choice.  I'm only 23 years old and to hire a luton van apparently I'm expected to be 25 by most companies.  Has anyone had this difficulty before?

 

If anyone knows a good friendly van company that might help out, please let me now.  I'm a member of the institute of advanced motorists if that would help at all.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Andrew

Think I collected both parts of my kit in a long wheel base transit type affair. Chassis in the first collection, then bodywork a few months later.

Edit: not sure if that will work if you don't have detachable arches mind

Thanks, I'll give them a shout tomorrow.  Good to know it can be done in a LWB, I thought the letter from Westfield said to get a luton but I'll try to dig that out again.  I have gone for detachable arches so should be ok then!

Collecting it on the 7th so only a few weeks.  I really need to get a move on with finishing stripping my donor and rebuilding the engine!

Are you collecting the bodywork at the same time? I brought my starter kit home the 180 miles home on a roof rack :d

Haven't got a rack on my car at the moment but certainly worth considering!  I was planning on taking the bodywork back too but purely because I don't want to hire a van twice.

for the short distance you're driving you could probably get away with clipping the main tub over the chassis so long as you can secure it safely. Easier to do if it's a detachale arch tub.

I've collected several of my cars on the roof :d

Yep you don't need a Luton van, picked mine up in a lwb transit. Picked the FW bodywork up in lwb vito at a later date, but I would guess it would all fit in a transit.

Minimum age 25 with them unfortunately.  Nothing on the website but just gave them a call there.
