How to move my stuff (car hire?)

    I'm going to be moving to the UK in a few weeks, and I'm wondering the best way to move my stuff.

    When I last moved apartment I managed to get everything in a rented Nissan Micra (it was actually quite spacious), and I've got rid of a fair bit since then. I'm happy to drive, but all of the car hire places I've seen don't allow cross border travel. Does anyone know any that do?

    I think this would work out to be about €150, are there any cheaper options?

    Depending on where you are going, could you rent/borrow a car, drive to a ferry port, load everything onto a trolley and wheel it onto the ferry as a walk on passenger. Rent a car on the other side and off ya go?? Moved to Swansea for the last year of uni and did that!

    That's not too bad of an idea... Did you go to Hollyhead? Are Tesco missing a trolley because of you? :D

    At the time the Cork-Swansea ferry was running. This is going back a few years! Not a tesco trolley but the ferry port in Cork had a luggage trolley similar to the ones in airports. Took it right up the rampway as a walk on passenger, loaded everything into the luggage room and unloaded onto the other side!

    Try the company Mailbox for shipping-30 kg for 30 euro or something, two boxes had pretty much all my clothes and other stuff -xbox, tv etc. in it and got to England in two days.

    I've heard good things about Send My Bag - my friend used them to move all her stuff to uni in the UK. Not sure about prices but I reckon they'd have to be Ok for her to have used them.
