We are ok with paying the van rate but they wanted to charge the rate for the big vans like the ones charities use for furniture collection and delivery.j
Yes, that's true it's no dogs. Some of the rules around vehicles are bizarre. We've had the same with our camper van, sometimes they charge the car rate, sometimes the van rate. There's no consistency.ladyholly said:If you aare thinking of the same one I am they dont allow dogs there and it would be too long for bear to be left.There is another one not too far away but they want to charge our car as a long wheel base van which is stupid as although its tall it is no wider than the average car and I had a Saab when I was allowed to drive that was far longer.
