Spain To The UK One Way Van Hire
Here is our advice regarding rent a van Spain
In our opinion, it's not a good idea to do your own house removals from Spain to the UK in a one-way van hire for several reasons:
1. Distance and time: Moving from Spain to the UK is a long journey that involves crossing borders and traveling through different terrains. It can be physically demanding, especially if you're doing it all on your own. Even using the Spain to UK direct ferry can cost over £800 one way.
2. Legal and logistical considerations: Moving across international borders comes with its own set of regulations, customs requirements, and paperwork. Without professional assistance, you may struggle to navigate these processes smoothly.
3. Safety concerns: Loading and unloading heavy furniture and belongings can be risky, especially if not done properly. Professional movers have the expertise and equipment to handle items safely and prevent damage.
4. Insurance coverage: Most professional moving companies offer insurance coverage for your belongings in case of damage or loss during transit. When doing it yourself, you may not have the same level of protection.
5. Cost efficiency: While it may seem like a cost-effective option to hire a one-way van, when you factor in fuel costs, tolls, potential damages, and the time and effort involved, it may end up being more expensive than hiring professionals.

6. Weight! - Most panel vans can only legally carry around 1000kg. But you also need to take the weight of the drivers and any passengers, fuel and travelling luggage leaving a more realistic carrying capacity of 800kg. Luton type vans hold even less.
7. Fines and Robbery. The Police will often target vans as they know they are easy pickings to dole out fines - often eye watering high which if you are not a legal resident of Spain, have to be paid in cash. This is quite a frequent occurrence. On the other hand, hire vans are mostly sign written so can be easily identified and targeted by thieves too often using distraction tactics or simply forcing doors open.
In summary, for a move of this scale and complexity, it's generally recommended to seek help from experienced moving companies that specialise in international relocations to ensure a smoother and more efficient transition.
