    Does anyone know if its possible to rent a transit recovery van for a day?? If so from where, ideally it would be relatively close to either cork or Dublin, or is there any crowd that would transport a car from Dublin to Cork? Any help appreciated, thanks

    Is it running, or would it need winching on to the back of a recovery truck?

    If it's not running the cheapest option is probably to rent a suitable trailer and get a van / "jeep" with a tow bar. A tow truck is likely to cost the guts of €400 to transport a car from Dublin to Cork (organised that a few times).

    If it's a runner and you can get it to a garage with a decent amount of space, one of the 9 car transporters could take it. We use http://crosbietranscar.com/ in work for nationwide transport. Dublin to Cork is probably around €100 but it needs to be picked up and left somewhere that the trucks can turn around.

    Thanks for the info, that lad quoted me 250eur which isnt bad, but is there anyone out there who would do it for 200eur or know any other recovery crowd that would? To be exact it would be moved from naas co.kildare to mallow co.cork

    I know I gave you his number but I really dont think anybody will do it for less than €250 , I really thought he was gonna say more tbh.

    Considering it averages around the €100 mark to go across Dublin I'd say you're right
