Hi

Hoping somebody can help.

We are looking to move to BG and are hoping to drive over from North East England to Yambol region of BG. Can you hire a van in UK and drop off in BG.

Also what is best route to take and also costs involved

Cynic

I tried this for my daughter when she moved to Holland; it was almost impossible when I asked about taking it abroad from UK because of insurance difficulties; in the end I gave up and borrowed a van from work and drove it myself.  The last time I hired a car on a similar single journey for my work, it was really expensive, mainly because I would have had to pay a charge equivalent to paying someone to drive it back to the pick-up point and then fly the driver back home again.

Have you asked for some quotes from Removal companies?

Shirley51

Thanks for that, we will have a look at removal companies or maybe look at buying one and selling on once we get there.

Cynic

If you're serious about buying, I'd consider looking round for a left-hand drive model, at least then you can sell it there.  Check out the costs of importing, registering etc though.

I did notice that Europcar rent vans - maybe worth trying them as well; they have an on-line agent chat facility.
