    Hi Belleek Beetle

    Thanks :) That's one of the companies I contacted - £450 for a camper van for the (half) day, which just too expensive for us. :o

  • Hi Wanchai

    I thought as much - i would still recommend registering on the forum and asking the question of the members - almost certainly someone on there would do it for you if you just cover their costs and bung them a few quid for their time. Unlikely that someone would let you drive their vehicle but i guess that would suit anyway.

    The members are a friendly and helpful bunch.

    Oh yes, we don't mind who does the driving!! :) We would definitely be willing to pay any kind soul who was willing to give up their Saturday afternoon for us, just that £400-odd is way over our budget. :o

    Thanks so very much for your help, much appreciated xxx

    Don't want to be a party pooper but there are insurance implications when "hiring" a vehicle.
    Most policies state "not for hire or reward" on private coverage.
