Spanish Relocation – 7.5 t Truck / Wagon / Van Self Drive Hire
If you are considering re-locating to somewhere like Spain you may be stressing about how to transfer all of your belongings to your new home. A removals company can be extremely costly, many removal companies charge around £7,000 for a relocation to Spain. Also there is the added concern of your belongings being out of your sight or control and perhaps vulnerable to damage or loss.
A solution that many people are choosing these days is to hire a removal truck or wagon from a reputable vehicle hire company such as Allied Self Drive, Lakeside. A 7.5 t box van or truck from Allied will cost you only around £600 to hire, plus fuel and tolls. A special driver’s licence is not required and the tail lift is very handy for household removals – see 7.5T truck hire page. If you are wondering how to return your hired removal truck to us why not invite a friend to give you a hand with the move, they can then return the hire van and have a trip or short holiday abroad. Additional drivers can be added to your hire agreement for a small extra cost.
