He never answers when I call! But he always returns the call when I leave a message. If you're flexible on dates, he sometimes uses the trip to do a different job in the other direction and save you some Ł...

You're right, it was almost a complete disaster.....

The trailer we hired turned out to have seized brakes which we didn't notice until a tyre blew 20 miles down the road We left that one by the side of the road and had to pay a fortune from another local company to hire one of theirs

Almost everyone that has quoted has given me either a fixed price or a mileage price for the one-way leg of the journey, at up to but no more than Ł1.20 per mile (200-220 miles total).

Renton, I still can't get through to your man, and no option to leave a voicemail!!

Christian, my dad does it for a living, your car would be fully insured etc.

Can give him a try if you like, his name is Simon and his number is 07787556346.

Ross, I have just spoken to your father, very helpful. Thanks for that. I'm just waiting for someone to call me back who I spoke to yesterday, then I will get it sorted.

Thanks!
