VW camper van help!

I would love a vintage VW camper van as our wedding tramsport but all the places I have contacted are quoting £400+!!! Does anyone know of anywhere I could get one for the day (July 2012)? Even to hire from a non-'wedding' company or private individual? :)

We're based in N. Ireland, the wedding will be around Fermanagh/Tyrone/the border with ROI if that helps.

Thanks a mill in advance.

    Is there anyone who lives locally/knows a friend or family member who might do it?
    My mum's next door neighbour is doing ours is his recently renovated cream painted camper for the BARGAIN price of £60! (But we are in Somerset, not sure he'd make it to Ireland for that!)
    I would ask around, it's a classic case of "who you know, not what you know!"

    Hi Wanchai, I'm based in Belfast and we're having a lovely VW campervan called Bertie for our big day in Jue. Check out http://www.vweddinghire.com/ For about £175 you get it for 4 hours and champagne included :)https://www.starcarhire.co.uk also has a few to choose from but they seem to be around £375. Hope that helps!
