Long term van hire

    My work group is hoping to hire a van for field work around Ireland from May-September and looking to spend approx. 400/month or less including insurance. Alternatively, we could rent on a daily basis for 35-40/day (incl insurance) if the hire company would agree to pick up and drop off in S. Dublin on the weeks we were using the vehicle.

    Does anyone know any van hire companies in/near Dublin that might accomodate that kind of arrangement?

    I'd suggest you contact one of the car dealerships for a commercial lease or the likes of Avis or Argus or the larger rental companies; they do rent or lease vans subject to a few minor spot checks (Full licences etc). Not all of them may offer insurance so you may need to find quotes for same.

    You may well find it more economical to buy a van on the second hand market and sell it upon completion of your project; that or maybe employ "a man and his van" type for the duration.

    Ask your bank - they have YARDS full of them and may hire one to you or do a short term lease arrangement. You might be able to tel them your price as opposed to them setting a price.
    You'll need your own insurance tho if you go this route (and indeed the van rental co route) as some but not all don't provide insurance .

    Buy one , a 2002 long wheel base tranny is for sale near me for €2000 and seems OK .

    Sell it when you have finished , if you dinge it or dirty it then so what !

    An equivalent from Windsor costs €500a week to rent .
