T6 Hiring recommendations

[Matt clark]

Good evening everyone, I am needing some help and possible contacts by anyone to give me advice or even point me in the right direction of hiring a T6 in August for 17-18 days. I need a minimum of 5 seats to take my wife, daughter and my in-laws on a road trip to Italy and the people I’ve tried are extortionately expensive (even though I work for the largest car dealer in Europe).
I can sort my own European fully comp insurance and would like something nicely specced and a DSG (I know I’m asking a lot)
Please help if possible ! ! (p.s I have a fully clean licence and have been driving for 18 years including abroad ( no accidents or claims ever)

I was in your position several years ago and hired a T5 camper from Bognor Motors - Hire, Sales, Service & MOT Bognor Regis & Chichester
@BognorMotors
We took it round Europe and did around 2000 miles in 10 days. Oli is a member on here and might be able to help.

 

[Matt clark]

Thanks for that..I’ll certainly give that one a go !

 

[DaveyB]

Yeah, you definately want to give Oli at @BognorMotors a call. He’s always posting up about his exceptional transporters for hire.

Sounds like exactly what we need, ideally a Kombi in DSG diesel and from Wednesday 1st August and we would be back into Dover Saturday 17th August. There would be myself and then my father in law to go on the insurance and share the journey, the route is over to Italy via Brussels and Switzerland so a quote would be fantastic. We are up in Yorkshire so logistically I’d have to make it work and if Possible be able to leave a car or 2 in a compound or with you guys if possible whilst away ?

I hired from Oli at Bognor last year and took one to the Alps - helped me to decide to buy one. They have all sorts, but I hired "GO 04 MOT" from them which is a kombi with the bells and whistles on it. Highly recommend them!

I'm sure they can help with that, but if not I live about half an hour from them, and can accommodate a couple of extra cars for a couple of weeks if need be on my drive.

Thanks for this everyone, it’s much needed as no one other hire firms seem to be interested or helpful in recommending

I’m genuinely feeling like one of the family in here now guys...this offer is much appreciate

 

[Sturge]

To whet your appetite.

I wouldn't get too appreciative, we will soon have our mits deep into your pockets and have you buying a T6, which is only the cheap part of getting the 'perfect' Transporter.

 

[Matt clark]

And there’s the teaser

 

[Sturge]

Well, that was my dilemma. Couldn't decide if a T6 would meet the requirements, then my Discovery decided to crack a windscreen and fail a MOT, so I decided to hire one from Bognor, in almost the spec I was looking at. To be honest it helped me massively and I enjoyed it. Not cheap option, but worth it (in my mind). No better test drive!

Unfortunately (depending on your viewpoint) I ended up buying one, ditching the discovery, and haven't looked back (except for the wallet).

 

[Matt clark]

Currently sat trying to convince the wife that she should have one sell the 1 year old grand Cherokee Jeep and use one as a daily, my daughter agrees but then apparently I’ll have to sell my toys !!! Hmmm... much convincing to do !!

 

[Sturge]

I sold a 3 year old discovery and my 14 & 16 year olds think this is sooo much cooler (which it is, but I am in my 40's so what do I know!). I prefer it too.

 

[Matt clark]

Ironically the dealer group I work for actually sell these things but no one within the group seems to want to help with a discount and our prices ain’t cheap!! I’d rather put my money into someone’s pocket that’s smaller and at least has a passion for it!

 

[Matt clark]

Don’t worry, At nearly 36 years old I apparently don’t know anything either

I'm pretty sure Bognor can also help you out in that dept too.
