European van hire – taking a hire van from the UK to mainland Europe and back – is an increasingly common practice. A few of the more popular reasons for crossing the Channel in a rental van are:
- Moving house
- Musical/sports tour
- Booze cruise
- …and of course couriers/express light haulage
Here at vanrental.co.uk, Birmingham is our second most popular van hire search location.
