Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hi pals.I'm looking for a cheap 6+ seater van and around the middle of the month for a week of touring, though I'm wondering if theres anyway around paying an arm and a leg for a van from Sixt or similar companies.Anyone experienced/dealt with this before?TaExperienced it and dealt with it by searching far and wide before sucking it up and hiring from Splitter Scotland or similar.Good luck with your search, though, dude...if you find a reasonable alternative then please update!

MC Nice Andrew Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks Adam, I think I will be sucking it up and paying through the ear for it. One can only scour the internet for so long before getting sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDrummer Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Central Coaches rented us an 8-seater tour van for a wee tour we did in the summer. Decent rates and big enough to cart gear around as well. We'll be using it again and I know that other Aberdeen bands use it too. I'm led to believe it may be the Xcerts' old tour van.

Jaaakkkeee Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Anyone see what happened to We Come From Wolves' tour van? Broke down, they had to taxi it to the next place. £250 it cost them. Great craic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givemeasmile Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 We use the van from central every time we go away, have been touring fairly regularly lately and have had no issues with it. Something like 55 quid a night and it even has a wee bed. The milage is high, but it runs fine. You're also fully covered under the central coaches insurance/breakdown policy which is obviously very handy. You have to be over 25 and have over a year's driving experience as far as I know, I'm not sure if they restrict you because of endorsements. £300 deposit I believe.
