I’ve just seen that van hire specialists Sixt have several special offers on van hire at present – offering quite good value if your needs match up with the terms of the offer:

- Hire a Ford Transit 280 for one day (Mon-Thurs) for £36 – this gives you a 12 hour hire
- Hire a Ford Transit Connect LWB for three days over the weekend for £84

- Hire a VW Caddy for a week and get a 10% discount – making it just £25 per day

To see full details of these offers and other deals from Sixt, click here for Sixt’s van hire website and then click on the “Best Deals” link in the left-hand sidebar.

It looks like Sixt and Europcar have been competing to see who can produce the most impressive-looking hire booth. Unfortunately for UK van renters these pictures were taken at Hamburg airport – but here’s hoping that these designs make their way to our shores in the future.
