According to Europcar, ‘nesting’ – staying in and carrying out home improvement – is the latest trend among cash-strapped Brits. I don’t know about that – I thought that home improvement was pretty old hat – but I do know that renting a van by the hour or being able to do can save you a lot of money and hassle.

You can hire a van with Europcar from just £5.99 per hour for a car-derived van and £6.99 per hour for a larger, Ford Transit-sized van (for a guide to van types and sizes, click here).

Hourly van hire is available from 0800 Monday – 1200 Friday each week – as vans need to be available for weekend hires. To get an hourly van hire quote from Europcar, click here and then enter your required times.
