The dreaded return to university is almost upon us.<\/p>\n<p>Impossible amount&#8217;s of &#8216;stuff&#8217; that just won&#8217;t fit in your family car, even if everyone but the driver travels by train.<\/p>\n<p>The solution is simple. By hiring a van, you can fit everything in comfortably. You may even be able to share the journey and the costs with a friend.<\/p>\n<p>The extra cost in fuel and hire charges could easily be cancelled out by the cost of making two trips by car if you don&#8217;t fit everything in the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Nevermind the risk of damage to the inside of your prized motor&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Demand for van hire is sky-high at this time of year. But prices are still reasonable and our suppliers are still showing some availability.<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;d recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/\"><strong>booking now<\/strong><\/a> if you need a van, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/onlinevanhirelocations\">popular locations<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vansize.php\">van sizes<\/a> are in limited supply and may soon be booked up.<\/p>\n<p>The university run is a lot simpler and less stressful if you go by van. Why not give it a try this year?<\/p>\n<h2>Questions?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the minimum age?\u00a0<\/strong>Van hire is not generally available to drivers under 21 and those under 25 may incur a surcharge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I hire one way?\u00a0<\/strong>One-way journeys also normally cost more, and your choice of pickup and dropoff may be more limited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The solution:\u00a0<\/strong>The best way to do #backtouni van hire is to get a parent or home-based friend to hire the van.
