Thanks Willo, do you know how much notice they need?

they are normally booked full up, i went down last weds to book one for Sat and paid £10 deposit, got there sat, and as they had none in, they had to upgrade me to a box van for same price as a long wheel base.
Just make sure that who ever is driving, they have to pay with credit card or debit card, it has to be the driver.

do you actually need it for the day or can you do what you need in four hours as BVH also do short hire and try to remember not to over fuel the vehicle better to put a minimum in eg: if your staying local work to £10 - £15. Also remember to get whoever is driving to take both parts of licence in on booking

believe it or not, its the same price for 4hrs as it is for the 24hrs

yep, they need to sort there pricing out.

do bvh still ask you about twenty questions about what you want the van for and how far you'll be going in it etc?

my uncle got a van from them last year, the thing struggled to do 60mph, he had to go to newquay-dundee-back home sat at 60mph max!!

i always use enterprise, don't think i have ever had a van more than 12 months old.
think the last one i got was £65 per day for a lwb hi top with two drivers.

no, they dont ask any questions, just ask to see both parts of licence. and tell you to make your first trip to petrol station

make sure you have permits to go tip in van, before you hire the van or you will not be allowed to tip
Posted By: reddragon Re: Best Price to Hire Van for one Day? - 31st Oct 2011 9:24pm

nedd to give permit and show hire documents, also you need a permit for trailer if its bigger than 2 metres.

I have 2 permits spare, but they are in my name, which means if you wanted to use them, the van would have to be in my name

With bonfire night so close I would think with a bit of a look around you should be able to get rid of ferns.We used to have to have guards on the backyard walls the week running up to the 5Th Nov. Now I come to think of it so did Marchbank the timber yard.

Do you know what, we took the dogs to royden park the other day and the pub opposite, think its the farmers arms have got a sign outside saying no more bonfire wood needed.

Dont want to take it to our local bonfire as we might get done for flytipping!

Also, we have phoned and orderd 8 passes for the tip today, there free but take 3-4 working days to come through, so not sure which day we need the van for.
