Hi Mug,

We have been looking into this very recently as we will be moving to the Murcia area in July.  The total cost we have come up with including 4 days self drive van hire, tolls, diesel, two overnight stops in motels and Eurotunnel we have estimated about £1200.00

We have allowed about £400.00 worth of fuel for a long wheel base sprinter van.  We have found a van hire company based in Salisbury which do one way hire, from UK to Spain (Murcia area) or Spain to UK.    If you are driving your own vehicle you can knock off about £500.00 from the £1200.00 and obviously fuel costs may vary. 

The best route we have been advised is Poole to Santander on an overnight ferry crossing and then about a 10 hour drive.  (We are not doing it this way cos my Mrs gets ferry sick.....arrggghhh!!).

We think overall the total costing more or less balances itself out.

If you need any more info, you can send me a PM.

D.

Mug, this is the introduce yourself board for new members.  

Plenty to read in here .. click blue links & wade through threads in each, remembering to click on next at the bottom as there's lots more.

 
PS : Did you get your plasterboards BTW ?

Hi Doughnut,

I've sent you a PM but just in case you haven't seen it could you please PM the van hire place in Salisbury as I would be interested in hiring a van one-way.

Does anyone else know of a van hire firm for England to Southern Spain that they wouid recommend preferably but not essentially for one-way hire.

Thanks
Chris
