What is the biggest van I can hire on norm licence?
Title says it all really!
To shift some furniture and stuff, what kind of van can I hire, the bigger the better.
I only have a normal and bike licence.
And does anyone know how much they cost ?
Cheers
Ed

Excellent!
It was a long time ago so I should be good for 7.5.

Be careful, a 7.5 ton lorry is a big beast if you aren't used to it. Not one for awkward parking at either end IMO, though bimbling up a
motorway isn't a problem beyond the boredom.

Yup but they are brill fun the first time you drive them. My missus loves them now but it is a bit weird that old gits like us who's reaction
times are shot to heck are the ones who are allowed the exception!
Still great fun after some practice you can chuck them about like a mini!
Cheers
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a
chainsaw

Now I'm definitely sold!
It is just a short trip, nothing too technical, with short stretches of narrow lane where I'd get to look stupid and wait for the cars to
reverse for me!

If it's for work purposes, you need an operators licence to hire a 7.5T these days. No bother if it's for personal use though.
Personally, unless you're used to driving at least a van, i'd go for a Luton transit. Much easier to keep yourself out of trouble than a
Cargo if you're not used to them. Just watch out for low hanging stuff, it gets very expensive if you put holes in the box no matter what you
hire.
