Hi, i know that days of south wales (swansea) are hiring out the ford ranger double cab, but i think it's a tad expensive at £200 + deposits  for weekend hire though.

Yes you can well in our area you can.

one of my customers hired a double cab from a company called Hampson in notts/Lincoln area as they wanted to take some stuff on a trailer to there house in France they wished they had not though as it cost them a fortune on the ferry + the hire of the 4x4.

I am sure if you contacted the Caravan Club they would have a list of companies hiring towcars.

We are getting a hire car (4x4) with tow-bar delivered tomorrow.  I haven't a clue how much it is costng though, as it is being paid for the the insurance company of the dosy woman who turned right into her drive straight across my path on Monday (how can you not see a black Disco coming towards you on a straight road?!!!!!) and took out my bumper, OSF wing and headlamp cluster!!!  So there are definitely companies out there that can supply tow-cars to hire.

I don' think cursing fully covers it!  I had just collected by parents to take them and Little Scamp to Birmingham (from Leeds) for a Don Williams concert at the Symphony Hall on Monday night - I'd paid for the tickets and hotel accommodation for my parents' birthday gifts, and it was supposed to be a nice treat for them, especially as Dad wouldn't have to drive ...... but as silly moo rendered the Disco undrivable we had to take Dad's car - he has Saga insurance, so I can't drive it (no under 55 drivers), so Dad had to drive.  I am still seething with her for spoiling an otherwise fabulous trip. 

Rant over now - sorry folks, I'm just a bit cross!!!
