Some of the supermarkets do van-hire.
I know Super-U definitely do. No idea about tow bars though - might be worth a look --------------------------------------------------------------- |

Hope I'm not being insulting, don't know your level of French, but Google the following: Remorque - trailer Tout terrain - All terrain Camion Benne - tipper truck And then add the region or department number. The vehicle types should at least get you to the specialist and the regional suffix the correct area. But just remember that indies can be really bad with website usage in France (if they have one at all), so calling will offer better results than sending an email (normally).

Addendum. They won't be nearly as cheap as the UK, so it may be worth working out the cost of bringing the trailer over from the UK (ferry, tolls etc) to compare. Via Michelin does a great cost analysis of journeys, just make sure you adjust the 'options' list accordingly. Otherwise your costs will be calculated against a 1.6 hatch back!!

Thanks all for your help.... have tried Super U but towbars are the issue.
Trailer is already in France and stays there with the machine at various dealers.... its complicated because I travel to France a lot and quite often leave my car at an airport then head back to the UK for a week or two so I'm trying to avoid driving a lot of miles in a few days with a UK hire..... must be getting old!! Thanks Monsieur Grenadier.... I hadn't searched by department but by city so thats a good idea, cheers! Not insulted at all... my French gets me by, have called in personally at some independents without much luck but will continue looking...... of course the solution is probably another Landy but seems a little extreme and I probably have enough toys!! Thanks again guys Simon Beware the lollipop of mediocrity��. one lick and you suck forever! 2005 TD5 XS 110 with a few extras...... first Land Rover and loving it!! |
