hi s3fella],
but what about reliability, punctuality do you think these things are necessary,,,

1. Is he insured to carry other peoples goods in his van? A vehicle whose function is to transport either people or third party goods needs to be insured for hire and reward.

So long as he's just carrying your goods then this is his problem more than yours, but if he's carrying you as well you might want to consider this.

2. Are you expecting your stuff to be insured against theft, fire, flood or impact damage while it's in his van? If so you need to see a copy of his goods-in-transit insurance.

If in doubt DIY - you can rent a van from B&Q for £11/h these days on short/no notice, and I regularly get mails from our local companies offering all-day rentals for £60.

[blindswelledrat]

Hassel, what do you need these vans for?
What kind of cargo will they be carrying.

Ill be honest, the judgmental part of me is in overdrive and I may as well tell you that these men with vans are unlikely to carry people from the far east hidden inside jam jars or similar, assuming that is what you are thinking

[Papa Hotel]

I collected that reference,,,
