Hi all,
I am moving flats next month and could do with a small van to move stuff between the two properties.
Can anyone recommend a van hire company? I live in the EH7 area. And any guide on a price for a daily rate?
Cheers!

Van Hire

I used Enterprise Car Club. Vans all over the city with spot-hire at £7/hr or £30/day + 27p/mi. Handy as it's usually more convenient than most hire places, you can hire for any length of time and return at any hour of the day with relatively short notice and if you just need to move one last thing at a different time or do an Ikea run or something like that, you can just hire a van again later on rather than trying to cram everything into your day's hire period. Getting membership is pretty swift and costs £2/month.
Having said that, there's quite a few vans on the west of EH7 but not many on the east so might not work so well for you!

Condor Hire at Lochrin Place are pretty good.

I used Enterprise Car Club when I moved house. I think I made two or three trips with the van.
I've also used SixT van hire, when I had to transport my motorbike. Their vans were in perfect condition. I once used The Van Man, whose offering had a cracked windscreen for a start.

Ah yes, the van man. I've enjoyed several cheap n cheerful hires from there although I wouldn't want to take one above 40mph. Mind you on one occasion he was kind enough to look after my bike in his office for the duration of the hire.
Personally I'd look first at the Car Club, but I'm not familiar with EH7, there may be a better local option.

Thrifty at Haymarket have always treated me well (over 20ish years). Haven't used them very recently, don't know about competitiveness, but I generally trust them (which I don't some other companies). May not be close enough, but seemed worth giving them credit...
