    Looking to rent a van for next weekend to move house. Don't have a lot of big furniture so a lwb transit should be fine.
    Looking for cheaper the better but more importantly one that doesn't need me to switch my insurance onto the van, as I did that before and the hassle of it is very annoying.
    Cheers.

    enterprise on kylemore charged me E54 for a toyota the other day, was size of transit, unlimited mileage and that was for 24 hours, that was medium van, large van was E90 for the day I think. That included basic insurance, forget trying to get your own insurance to cover it , like you say, a nightmare if not impossible. Mine wouldnt do it, when I tried to go with Dan dooley initially. glad I went with enterprise. Think their online rates are better than over phone or walk in

    Cheers mate, that toyota would do me by the sounds of it. Yeah I got my insurance switched last time but it marginally less difficult than splitting the stomach. My brother is trying to sort a deal with enterprise actually, thru a contact of his, so might get even better value.

    Try Europcar

    I rented a Nissan NV300 / Renault Trafic for 48 euro

    Something like a VW Crafter is 63 euro.

    Can be cheaper at times

    oh I forgot, gocar (govan) might also be an option, think its E12 hour for their ford connect I believe it is. Includes, fuel and insurance. They have a place in tallaght and sandyford, amongst others...

    Its actually 10 for the Connect and 12 for the Transit Custom SWB. It's okay value if you just need van for an hour or 2 but renting for 4hrs is the same as renting for a day with Europcar. Obviously fuel is extra with Europcar.
    I've used both.

    Also as an aside the 2.0 tdci Transit is a quality van compared to the cheap feeling 1.5 dci NV300. But the NV300 is slightly bigger
