One way van hire?

Are you bringing a car with you?

No, we thought we would buy one when we get out there.

Hi, I am new to this site and hoping to move out soon as well.

I have been doing my research into one way van hire for our move with a dog.

I have found 2 companies J Hire and Way2go, both quotes are reasonable and what I expected. I will use one of these once I have a date.

Hope that helps a little.

Hi Sharon,

We used way to go for one way hire - the van was awful, gear knob fell off, the transponder part of the key was not attached to the key which created issues when trying to start it after stopping for a break or topping up the tank. We had engine warning lights on most of the drive - we called the company on route to let them know of the issues and to be honest they really didn’t want to know, no help, no suggestions or replacement van sent!

Hope the above info helps you decide on which company you use.

Happy Moving 😀

Hi both,just a word on bringing your dogs over.In the event of a no-deal Brexit,the requirements for entry into the EU may change,depending on the classification of the U.K. as a 'third country'.If we are Listed Part 1 or 2 there won't be much change to the current requirements,but if we are are unlisted.then there will be a delay of around 4 months due to blood-tests etc.before you can bring your dogs into the EU.You can keep up to date with contingency plans for pet travel on the Defra and  Gov.UK sites.If you have no set dates for moving over yet,then it would be wise to move over before the end of March,so you don't need to worry about your pets.Hope this helps,regards,Gerry

Oh ok thats good to know. I will steer clear then.

Thank you to everyone who replied.  We are now here in Camposol with our dogs.  We went down the route of hiring a man with a van who also is registered to transport animals.  He brought over the dogs and our stuff and we flew over.  This worked out very well as we were not bringing furniture.

Hi Sharon who did you use please? Good luck. We bought in November and hope to be out full time in 3 years. 

We used Edward Carmichael, found him on Facebook.  There's a Camposol page that has been very useful.
