If so what do we need to look out for when choosing a company and are there any pitfalls ? Thanks in anticipation _______________________ ^{_{Gilly & John}} Spam post?

For that size load will probably be shipped with other peoples as well. _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.

I've made 408 posts Send private message to Lauryc	Further to your question.. we were thinking the same for when we make the move. We also considered hiring a van. Has anyone taken a van via Santander ferries? Does anyone have any idea of the costs involved? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We will probably drive down when we move anyway as we have an old dog that I wouldn't send by plane. Laury _______________________ *Laury* Spam post? If so please click here to report it
31 Mar 2007 12:47 PM johnone Adosado I'm in La Reserva de Marbella I've made 244 posts Send private message to johnone	Hi I have booked the Plymouth Santander ferry for mid April, Long wheelbase Transit, + 2 people on the outward, 1 on the return With cabin. £518, the hire for the van 7 Days £520 with one additional driver,(£18 per day) and then fuel costs. What you need to consider is: the cost of transport versus the value of the items, You could purchase a van, book a one way and then sell it to recover some of the cost (but would you risk it). The hire van has full insurance, breakdown cover and all the legal bits for driving in Spain. If you use removal company, then you will also have to pay your Air fare and other travel costs. Hope this is of help John This message was last edited by johnone on 3/31/2007. This message was last edited by johnone on 4/1/2007. _______________________ Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres.

I suppose they must also do it the other way. If I can find the ad (just bought a copy home with me for bed-time reading) I will post the details later.
