It’s often tempting to plan house moves and other activities requiring a hire van for the weekends. However, if saving money is a priority, it may pay to plan these for mid-week, instead, as rates can be cheaper and you may be able to reduce your hire period.

For example, Europcar currently has an offer on mid-week van hire, with rates starting from just £22.50 per day at selected hire locations.

Hiring mid-week might also enable you to manage with one day’s hire, instead of two. Most van hire branches are closed on Sunday’s and many shut at lunchtime on Saturday – meaning that if you hire on Friday, you are probably going to have to keep the van for the whole weekend. Hire mid-week, for example, and you can get a full 24-hour period without having to keep the van for a second day.

It’s just a thought…
