You may be lucky with Enterprise but I do know the minimum AGE is 25 for van hire

Thats cool, my bf is 29 so its not really the age thats a problem. I just dont wanna have to get my dad to hire/drive because hes a grumpy sod.
Thanks.

Enterprise won't, minumum 12 months, and maybe longer for a large vehicle. Get a friedn to rent it and drive it for you. And yes they will have to pay on their card, and also take responcibility for the xs.

Hmmm friends of ours rented a van for her Dad to drive to move house, the van was in the Dad's name but they were down for all the financial side. This was enterprise, so at leats some must allow it?

no this is wrong. my mate hired a van and i drove it, he was responsible for any damage or excess fees not me.and was all paid on his card.

buisnesses hire vans all the time for employees to drive meaning the employer is responsible for any fees not the driver.

I've heard local, smaller companies are more likely to allow it, but almost certainly with a higher excess than everyone else. Have a ring round.

If you do find a company, pay the extra few pound for the full insurance cover.

Odette

Yeah I dont mind paying over to insure us properly because it will still end up much cheaper than the alternatives (man with a van, etc).

Ok Im gonna ring round some independents. Secondarily get my dad on the case (really crossing my fingers not too, he is a very very grumpy old man).

Thanks for everyones help.

i think its 12 months minimum you would have held your license. How ever if your in a location to get one of these, i would suggest it. Its a cheap option but then again you have to sing up for membership. I have been using them everytime i need to move something big.
