Car Transporter Hire?
Has anyone ever heard of car transporters being available to hire?
I'd like to be able to ditch my current 'tow car' and run something economical day-to-day but I need another method of moving the
MNR around the country.

yes you can but not that many people seem to bo it now, i recently hired a transit based transporter from Derek Fisk in Diss Norfolk 01379 644314 for
£80/day inc 150miles, they done a larger vehicle to. seems best bet get the yellow pages out and phone around and ask.

I once spent several days looking to hire a car transporter in the Cornwall area.
All to no avail. 
A local trailer manufacturer has two car trailers that he hires out though. 
With the very high cost of vehicle recovery you would have thought that there would be a huge demand for, self drive recovery trucks.
I guess at the end of the day.
High maintanance costs & HSE red tape, makes it unecconomical to have this type of vehicle in the hire fleet.

We found a local guy who works at a body shop who was needing cash to feed his Cosworth habits. We hired the driver and a transporter for best part
of 300 miles and and a days driving for justover £200, bythe time we had a car and a motorbike on board it worked out very nice and we got to look
out of the windows all day

You're maybe a bit far but Dazza on this site does this kind of thing.
A mail or u2u to him wouldn't hurt.
Cheers,
James

Thinking about it, it will hopefully be a one-off since t'other half is buying a golf diesel which should tow nicely!
