Need to hire a van for a day - Transit sort of size. Problem is I'm only 21. All the places I've seen so far have a minimum age of 25. Don't really know anyone over 25 round where I live either to do it for me.
Anybody know where you can hire a van at 21? Surely must be somewhere, if not there's a gap in the market!
Cheers.

Nope - just checked both the websites. Enterprise 25+ for all vans. Arnold Clark let you drive a Kango (but too small) have to be 23+ for transit etc.
Cheers for the help though guys.

I hire them at 20 but use my own insurance. The local van company near me though is 21 for all their vans
