Cheapest Way To Move Manchester to Essex??

PrincessPlaty

Could really do with some help and hopefully someone will be able to offer me some advice!!!

Im due to move soon from Manchester to Essex, I was going to hire a van and my friend was going to drive it for me (i dont drive) i found one for £49 for 24 hours, which i thought would be great the only downside to this is that they want a £250 deposit to hire the van due to the fact that im paying by cash (i dont have a credit or debit card and nor does my friend). I also dont have the money in cash after paying the deposit on the new house.

I have emailed some man and van companies on ebay and have been quoted £470 :eek:

I have had a quote from a removals company for £675. :eek:

Im currently trying to see if anyone I know has a van or knows someone with a van but so far havent had much luck

Has anyone any ideas of how i can move all my stuff and keep the costs down?

I dont have a great deal to move a double bed, set of bunk beds, dining table (all of which can be dismantled) a coffee table and a tumble dryer the rest is boxes, bags and suitcases.

ask on your local gumtree, or freecycle cafe (search yahoo groups for your town + freecycle + cafe..

maybe someone going that way, might have space (offer gas money, food ??)

for stuff/help/favours etc that dont fit in the 'real' freecycle..:beer:
