Getting my belongings to Scotland from Northern Ireland

[neonplanet40]

So basically I am moving to Fife over the summer and have a lot to bring with me such as electronics and some furniture.

The only way I can think of doing this and making sure it arrives in one piece is to rent a van and bring it over on the boat.

Has anyone any better ideas?

Also is there any companies in Northern Ireland who will let you rent the van from NI and drop it off in Scotland?

Grrrr such a pain to sort out

Thanks for any help guys. I guess I am also looking to know if anyone has done anything similar and if so how and with who.

Europcar offers van hire from NI to Scotland. I'm sure a few other companies do as well.

Snootyjim I think this would be more ideal:


On a more serious note, as you said hiring a van is probably your best bet

Shipping is also another option, but couriers can quickly start getting ridiculous as the consignment mass and volume increases.

Yea they charge by the package. And one you add insurance for pc's and tv's etc I would be safer buying new stuff

You teaching then?

If you're still after PC parts I've got a few bits you can have for cheap if you want to pick them up when you're here, case, PSU, DDR2 and an X2

[neonplanet40]

Yea teaching mate.

I won't need pc parts as I am bringing the lot with me. That's why I need to find the cheapest way to get the lot over

Thanks though

Fair do's

I know Forth Movers do 'UK' wide, not sure if they do from NI though, might be worth getting a quote.
