Van Hire from PP or old town

[simon63]

Thanks to the help of forumites, we have now bought our apartment in PP! Very exciting.

We're heading out again in late May and need a van for a few days to transport furniture, BBQ, washing machine etc.

Anyone know of anywhere reasonably local that rents out vans, any size, big or small, for a couple of days? I've looked online and can't find anywhere local at all.

Thanks

RecordGo will rent you a 5 seat Caddy for £20/day incl insurance though Ryanair and you can collect at the terminal. I shifted massive amounts when we moved in 3 weeks ago. You could get the 7 seat version but with the back seats removed the cargo area of the little caddy is 180cm long, 96cm wide and ~100cm tall IIRC. I had tables and chairs and sideboards in there no problems. Several runs up from Trabadoo in Palma.

I looked at washing machines in Conforama etc and I could've got an 8kg Samsung for €400 but I would've had to get it delivered and I didn't fancy carrying up the stairs (our wash room is in the attic). In the end I popped into Vila Electrodomestiques (?) in town one morning at 8.30am,the shop was closed but the owner was passing and he opened up to sell me a 7kg Samsung for €355. He then brought it round at 3pm, lugged it upstairs and connected it all up FOC. Winner

Not local but you can get a transit from OK. Short wheelbase so you are ok to drive with a standard license but roomy!

I've hired a car from Hiper Rent A Car before. They have an office right in the centre of PP, not sure if they do van's but they give a decent dervice

Dervice? Meant Service ;-)

All great info, thanks guys.

I'm going out with Ryanair, so will probably try Record through them.
