Relocation to Spain – 7.5 t Truck / Wagon / Van Self Drive Hire
If you are thinking of re-locating to Spain you may be worrying about how to go about transferring all of your belongings to your new home. Using a removals company can be extremely expensive, with many removal companies charging around £7,000 for a relocation to Spain. There is also the added worry of your belongings being out of your sight or control and vulnerable to damage. A solution that many people are opting for these days is to hire a removal truck / wagon from a reputable vehicle hire company such as Allied Self Drive. A 7.5 t box van / truck from Allied will only cost you around £600 too hire, plus fuel and tolls. No special drivers licence is required and the tail lift is very useful for household removals – see 7.5t Truck Hire page. If you are wondering how to return your hired removal truck why not invite a friend to help you with your move, return the hire van and have a trip or short holiday abroad. Additional drivers can be added to your hire agreement for a small extra fee.
Driving to Spain by Hire Van / Truck / Wagon
Spain offers a relaxed lifestyle, beautiful surroundings and scenery and warm weather, so it’s no surprise that many people decide to relocate there. Allied Self Drive Hire can help to make this a much lower cost process by using your own hire truck and to accompany your possessions every mile of the way.
Allied Hire will provide a full European vehicle hire package including insurance, breakdown cover and the necessary documentation (V103b copy log book). We also include European sat nav hire and a first aid bag that contains a warning triangle, fluorescent jacket, first aid kit and spare lamps.
We strongly advise that you familiarise in advance with the local traffic regulations in the countries through which you will be travelling. Some countries have restrictions on the use of trucks at weekend for example.
Safe & Secure While Driving in Spain – Brentwood Essex
As with anywhere, when driving a hire vehicle in Spain you should observe all the traffic rules and regulations like not drinking if driving and abiding by the speed limit. When driving in Spain, as with most other European countries, remember to stay on the right hand side of the road. This is easy to forget when negotiating roundabouts etc. Keep valuables such as wallets and mobile phones out of site and never leave them in the van, car or truck unattended.
