Does anyone know of a company that will hire out a recovery truck for a day or two, as having no luck finding anyone on google (loads down south, but none in the north east)??

    For what it is worth, a few years ago I hired a car trailer locally and brought a car back from London to Newcastle. I had no problem hiring the trailer and the journey itself was ok even though I had no previous experience of pulling a trailer.

    Yeah, that was my original plan Terry, but then I looked into the cost of hiring a car transporter over a trailer (just for ease really), and it was only about £20 more, but they are all down south.

    Got one up now, although the first quote back was a trifle high at almost £300
