Van Hire-Liverpool to NI

in N. Ireland
Hey everyone,
Moving away to NZ in August for a year, currently living in Liverpool, but from NI originally. Need to move most of my stuff back home, as will cost a fortune in storage in Liverpool for a year, and not sure if I will be going back there.
Problem is, all the big van hire firms only offer van hire return to anywhere in mainland UK, not NI Does anyone know any companies where you could pick up a van in the England and return it to a location in NI-Trying to save a bit of cash in dodging a return ferry fare, and seems really inefficient to make a trip back to just return a van!
Thanks,
James

I don't know of any but if you can't find one you might be able to make a few quid bringing stuff from NI to Liverpool for somebody else to cover your return journey...1% at a time no. 40. £8000 (For dream family holiday) 94/100
MFW 2013 no. 62 £10,000/£10,000
MFW 2014 no 62 £8000/£70000 -
You might end up cheaper (as I did helping out with a house move from England to NI) renting the van in NI, driving across, and bringing the stuff back. If you're not going to NI, can someone drive it over and help you pack?0

much cheaper work out how many boxes/sofas etc and call round a few lorry companies who will collect it and leave it at your parents house...many have a bit of room and it is hassle free and can be a lot cheaper.....0
