Car trailer hire?

[newberry]

Does anybody know of a place you can hire a car trailer or small transporter for a day in the Lowestoft/Norwich erea? Or anybody have one that would lend or help me out with for about 2-3 hours, obviously in exchange for beer tokens?

Thanks in advance.

Derek Fiske who are based in Diss hire out small self drive car transporters for 90 pounds daily inc. Or a car transport trailer for 40 pounds daily, problem with the trailer it is big and you need a transit size tow vehicle or large 4x4. Tel : [phone]. They are a good Company and I have used their transporters several times over the years.

may be worth asking if 6they have the transporter available just for a afternoon perhaps.

Thanks, thinking it might be better to maybe get a professional with car a transporter to come collect it instead if anybody has any suggestions. Thanks.

what are you looking to move and from where to where and on what day?

check any trailer you hire.

mate of mine hired a trailer 10 years ago, wheel bearing seized, sent his car into the path of an oncoming buss & killed his mate who was in the passenger seat. He lost his spleen. trailer hire company got done.

just a word of caution.

It's a cerbera, got to get it from Lowestoft to Scole engineering, the problem is it's not running so can't drive it on. As for when, whenever Scole is open.

I went along to Scole Saturday last, wanted to book my daily hack in for front window mechanism to be fixed. Garage was closed when I arrived at about 11.00am, most unusual. Ended up getting the car repaired elsewhere, Lindsay Flaxmer in Eye, first rate job for a very reasonable fee, they even gave me a courtesy car for the day! I noticed that they had a Chim' up on the ramps, so they are obviously trusted it seems.

I rang them Monday and all seemed fine but I'll keep the other garage in mind incase I have no luck with scole. Quiet odd tho for them to be closed, Cheers.

And thanks Jamie for filling me with confidence
