As the date to go to Calais draws nearer I thought I best start trying to source a van. I considered various options but renting through a large company seemed the best way. I had an idea of cost however I was dealt a massive blow when I was told we'd be charged 50 cents per kilometre for any distance over 450km - Our journey is 1500km! However, Joel at Hertz in Basel was INCREDIBLE and when I told him why I was hiring the van he gave me the very best rate possible, slashing the price by 60!!! I am truly overwhelmed and this means that all of the money raised so far can go towards food and other supplies and will not have to subsidise a crazy rental fee. Thank you Hertz and thank you Joel!
