Found this on Google. I wish I knew about the option when we moved house, as I took a regular van from Enterprise and did the lifting myself with a friend.

Vanrentals.ie have the exact truck you want with a tail lift. They do insurance and the whole shebang. Behind the Red Cow. Good to deal with.

I had them on phone, booked out till Thursday..

Appearantly it's not easy just click and rent....

They are busy, you'd want more than a days notice for hire alright

Maybe this might be of use. Not sure how easy it is to click and rent.

You can drive the likes of a box truck as long as the GVW is under 3500kg.

Payload isn’t huge though especially if there’s a tail lift.

Wee little trucks are alright, like below

A rule of thumb I heard before was if there is a single wheel at back its likely a B licence, if double wheels requires a C.
So you will see van with double wheel at back and they are rated above the 3500kg so actually require a C, even though not actually any bigger.

well begob! you learn something new everyday

*but personally speaking i wouldn't call them trucks, box vans but not trucks

Not true, several double wheel box vans are only 3.5 ton rated and are driven on standard B licence, some Mitsubishi Canter box bodies are 3.5 ton rated
