5 Tips for Cheap Van Hire In Edinburgh
13/10/2011 |

There are many reasons why one may need to hire a van in Edinburgh, from home removal, business service or simply to collect or deliver those items too large for your average car. There are many companies that offer cheap van hire in Edinburgh. This article outlines 5 top tips to make sure that your van hire goes without a hitch.
First we will look at selecting your van. It is important to select a van that is suitable for the task at hand. If moving or collecting an item, make sure you are aware of the items dimensions, this will help you avoid any problems later on. If you are moving house or moving a large amount of items, make sure that you hire a van with a large enough internal space. Choosing a van that is large enough for your needs will help save you money by cutting down on the amount of trips needed and reducing the amount of time you will need to hire the van for.
Next, you should always make sure you are able to drive the van. Ask the dealer for a quick test drive, and ask any questions regarding handling, gears and brakes you may have. Driving a van is a different experience from driving a car, so it is vital that you are comfortable to do so. Most respectable companies offering cheap van hire in Edinburgh will be more than happy to talk the time to ensure that you are fully prepared to drive their vans.
As with any journey, when travelling in a van it is important to plan your journey, due to the increased size and weight of the vehicle. Make sure that the route you are planning to take is suitable for the van that you have hired. Take into consideration any bridges, side roads and built up areas. Again most respectable companies offering cheap van hire in Edinburgh will often have a city guide service that will help you plan your route.
Many people over look this next tip, but it is probably one of the most important of them all, parking. Parking a van is nothing like parking a car due to the increase in size and the reduction of visibility. It is always worth checking a head to make sure that your destination offers a wide range of parking options and that you feel comfortable manoeuvring and parking your hired van. Another top tip, is to check the amount of space for you to open the vans doors when parked. This may seem obvious, but it is amazing how many times I have seen van drivers parked too closely to the car behind, making it impossible for them to fully open the rear doors!
Finally make sure you are getting a good deal. As mentioned, there are a lot of companies that claim to offer cheap van hire in Edinburgh, but some are far from cheap! Shop around, compare prices and don’t be afraid to haggle on a rate of pay. Some companies will only hire out their vans on a daily basis, others will allow you to hire on an hourly basis. So make sure that you are clear on all details regarding your hire before you sign any contracts.

Chicago Commercial Horse Van Manufacturer Seeing Huge Demand
Chicago Commercial Horse Van Manufacturer Seeing Huge Demand
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 30, 2009
Fleet Equine, a manufacturer of commercial horse vans located just 30 minutes from Chicago, is offering customers the chance to express themselves through customizable, high-quality horse vans.
Unlike other trailers traditionally used in the commercial transportation industry, horse vans are not a common commodity among trailer dealers. Until now, people in the business of transporting horses have had to go to great lengths in order to secure a horse van that is not only of high quality, but also aesthetically pleasing. Now, commercial transporters of horses have a top-of-the line resource for high-quality horse vans in Fleet Equine.
Fleet Equine offers three primary types of horse vans, all built to quality standards that consider both performance and durability. The three typical designs include the royal van, classic van, and the classic box. Designed to last for years-even when subjected to the rigors of the road–as well as to make the transportation process easier, all models are fully customizable.
The high-quality horse vans offered by Fleet Equine truly represent a change in the transportation industry with a focus on horse vans in addition to other types of trailers. Further, Fleet Equine not only sells high-quality horse vans, but also offers horse van restoration services for commercial transporters of horses that wish to restore a damaged horse van.
Through offering customizable options on their horse vans, which are crafted to the highest quality and discriminating standards, Fleet Equine has moved toward focusing more on the commercial horse van transporter as an important member of the transportation industry. Conveniently located near Chicago, they can be easily reached for showroom and restoration purposes, also offering clients pick-up and drop-off at either of the two local airports.

easyVan.com Clocks Up a Year of Successful Business
easyVan.com Clocks Up a Year of Successful Business
(PRWEB) March 15, 2008
The low-cost van rental company easyVan.com is celebrating reaching a major business milestone, having received 10,000 online bookings in its first official year of operation. Since officially launching in January 2007, this rapidly expanding business increased its number of rental locations to more than 120 sites, making it one of the biggest van hire networks in the UK.
Research has shown that the majority of its customers use the van rental service (http://www.easyVan.com/ ) due to its competitive pricing for moving house, with others requiring short-term van hire for furniture collection, helping students in and out of university accommodation and completing DIY projects. Offering cheap prices on a range of different sized vehicles, easyVan.com is seen as an ideal option for customers who require an affordable and reliable service.
easyVan (http://www.easyVan.com/ ) was originally launched as a pilot project on the easyCar.com website, however the business has managed to grow solidly since then and has now even managed to secure itself as a supplier to and sponsor of Silverstone Circuits, home of the British Grand Prix.
The outfit operates a similar business model to that of easyCar.com (http://www.easyCar.com/ ), another of the easyGroup businesses. This means easyVan.com acts as the Van Rental Company and is responsible for the website, marketing and customer services, while the actual vehicles are provided by a range of quality suppliers from the individual rental locations. The easyVan service also works in partnership with Northgate plc, the UK’s largest van leasing and hire company.
“It’s an achievement for the business to have grown in this way,” said Stelios, the easyGroup chairman and founder of easyVan. “There was quite clearly a niche in the market for low-cost load-bearing vehicle hire, and as one of the largest van rental networks in the UK we can continue to offer our customers a service that is great value for money. This is yet another way in which the easyGroup helps to make a difference in people’s lives.”

Eddie Van Halen Shows Up Solo At L.A. Performance
Eddie Van Halen Shows Up Solo At L.A. Performance
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) July 26, 2006
It was Eddie Van Halen playing another packed house- a small courtyard at the House of Petals floral studio in West Hollywood. And this time he was alone and some of the audience members were sitting on the edge of the stage, including members of the Beverly Hills People staff on hand to cover this concert.
Such was the intimate setting for the latest Eddie Van Halen performance on a warm summer night in his home town of Los Angeles. Accompanied by keyboardist Patrick Leonard, Van Halen’s guitar still managed to sound like he was backed up by the rest of his missing band.
Mostly avoiding Van Halen hits in his set, Eddie wooed the crowd with his trademark quick and sharp licks. The gathered audience responded with ovations and wide eyed gasps, still the same reaction to Van Halen guitar playing after all these years.
The intimacy of the venue seemed almost surreal considering that Van Halen is synonymous with screaming stadiums of adoring fans. BeverlyHillsPeople.com has posted photos of this event on its website. Visitors can go view these photos for free at Beverly Hills People’s site.
The House of Petals will be continuing its Summer Event Series until the fall.

Eddie Van Halen Hosts Burlesque Party For House Of Petals Anniversary
Eddie Van Halen Hosts Burlesque Party For House Of Petals Anniversary
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) October 7, 2006
Eddie Van Halen played solo and hosted an anniversary party at Hollywood’s House of Petals floral studio that also featured a lingerie burlesque show featuring Harlottique, a burlesque dance group. Van Halen’s single song set was the second time in three months he has shown up to play at the floral studio owned by his friend, actress Joey House. The October 4th event also featured a musical performance from 1980′s rap star Ton Loc.
The presence of Ton Loc and Eddie Van Halen at the same party fueled speculation about a joint performance that night with Van Halen playing guitar to Loc’s vocals. That speculation ended when Van Halen left the stage after one instrumental song, ending his show for the night.
Ton Loc then took the stage for several songs that included his signature hits “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing”, sans Eddie Van Halen.
Beverly Hills People staff were on hand to cover this event. Visitors to Beverly Hills People can view photos and video taken of the party.
As questions loom about the future about Eddie Van Halen’s namesake band, the famous guitarist continues to pursue his own solo music projects, including recent efforts scoring adult movies and making plans for a solo album.
