Batfink 201 Posted May 18, 2010 I'm going to need to drive to cornwall in a few weeks time to collect my 205. I've hopefully borrowed a mondeo to tow with now my BMW is dead, but its going to need a trailer as its currently not in a state to be towed with an a-frame. Anyone got recommendations or rough costs they have spent to hire?? Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RHULPUG 0 Posted May 18, 2010 I used GT Towing in Hatfield recently and it cost around £65 for the day incluiding ratchet straps etc. You will need proof of insurance and also a spare plate. Seemed a bit overpriced IMO. The place I usually use is HJ Autos in Hockley, Essex (try a google search), costs around £40/day for a small trailer (enough to fit a 205 on and also within the weight limits if you don't have the extra weight towing allowance on your licence). They also make up a number plate for you in advance using velcro stick on letter/numbers on a plate. Would definitely use these guys again in the future, had no problems towing with my Insignia. The longer you have it the cheaper it becomes, and for a weekend it didn't cost much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maturin23 10 Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) You can borrow mine, Kev, if you think it's worth the drive to Finchley - a 205 fits nicely on my Brian James Minno. Edited May 19, 2010 by maturin23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
