Default I need to hire a van in the North East... where/who from?

Alright lads, I need a van to collect my kit car chassis from Sheffield. I'm in South Shields so somewhere like Sunderland would be an ideal collection/drop off location.

Realistically i need it between 8am-5pm Saturday, where is the best place to go?

At the moment im looking around online but the companies ive seen so far have all closed at 12 o clock dinner time

Any ideas? Recommendations? Suggestions?

Cheers for the offer Jacko, very generous but unfortunately it wont fit in a normal transit, has to be a LWB with 10.5ft loading area.

Dont think he's open on a Sunday mate but he may be able to arrange dropping it back off on late afternoon Saturday or maybe even a Sunday. Ring him up for a bit of a chat he's a decent enough bloke.
