Van hire recommendations - Bracknell/Reading area

[VerySideways]

As many of you know i am moving back to my house in Reading from Bracknell next weekend (November 22nd/23rd), so to ease the pressure slightly i need to get a van. I guess Transit sort of size as a minimum - any recommendations?

Cheers,

VS.

Welcome to borrow the Disco if thats big enough? (with towbar if hiring a trailer is cheaper)

(assuming it's not sold... yeah right! )

ETA - http://www.colehire.co.uk/

They are based at the end of my road and I've hired from them a couple of times before now.

Looks like a lot of van places aren't open on Sundays and i certainly don't need a whole weekend - midday Sat to midday Sun should be plenty.

Disco would be cool but trailer hire appears to be almost the same cost as hiring a van. Thanks though.

I'm pretty sure Cole are open on a Sunday although they might prove a little too far from you?

Tentatively booked BTC, 4pm Saturday to 4pm Sunday.

Used them before for minibusses for Alton Towers trips, always very good.

+1, used them many times with no problems and they are the cheapest around too.

Try Caversham Vehicle Hire or Rabbits in Caversham - used both and very good vans & very cheap to boot.
