Van Hire for Young Driver

Dear fellow moneysavers,
I am due to move house on the 8th March 07, but am only 21 and am finding it difficult to locate anyone who will rent out a van to me. Previously I have used a friend, but his van is no longer available. Could somebody suggest a van hire company around the Colchester area that will rent out a medium sized van (just need it to take the sofa really) for one day to me? I've been driving for 4 years and haven't had any accidents.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

We rent vans quite a bit and I think 25 is the youngest I've come across. Some you have to be 30 years old even!
My husband has helped move one of his friends a cople of times, hired the van in his name and driven for them. Do you have a friend that could help and do this for you?Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

You'll rent under 25 years of age, it's the insurance companies - that's it. You'll hve to find someone a little older to drive for you.0

I rented a van from sixt when I was 23 so try them - I had to pay an extra fee (as I am guessing the link above says) but there was no problem. Have you actually been asking companies or just using online quote systems? I hired cars many times when I was under 25 and lots said they couldn't give me a quote as I was too young, but on speaking to places it was just that there would be an extra fee.0
