    I’d bet this is a cheaper option if you’re flexible.

    Have a look at previous jobs, on that route, and it’ll give you an idea.

    You list your job and transporters bid on it.

    Look at Europcar van sizes and imagine your stuff inside, that’ll give you a rough idea of square feet you’ll need.

    I was registered with them and did Nice to Nottingham once a month so I could come back for games. Let me know if you need any advice about it.

    I’ve used Hertz and Enterprise for that type of thing in the past. From recent memory Hertz was stupidly expensive nowadays and Enterprise were way cheaper.

    Best ones in this area is quarry mate, use them all the time and they're not fuddy duddies checking for every little scratch or mark like the other companies do

    Quarry Van Rental https://share.google/qflQIjMgz1Jef2qH2

    I used Enterprise and did something like that a few years ago. Seemed okay.

    The reason 'Anyvan' is a good option is that you don't have to worry about scratching the van, a simple dent can be hundreds of pounds.

    You also get two men to load/unload the van, don't have to drive and can just fly/train down.

    Worth checking out, especially for long distances.
