I've never heard of cars with tow bars being hired.  I imagine there would be an insurance issue here.  The variations in towing experience, plus the different types of caravan likely to be towed would create a nightmare for insurance companies to calculate charging rates.

Hi, Try here for all types of cars and 4x4's for hire , Click on the logo

I was about tomention a place in Paddock Wood in Kent that hire all manner of 4x4's inc Discoveries and Range Rovers; but then saw where you live

I can endorse the earlier recommendation for SHB hire. We hired a Defender 110. They supplied the correct height adjustable tow bar and even fitted an 'Alko' tow ball. I rang them first, explained what I wanted, what I was towing and the type of towball, sent a few piccies and hey presto! all waiting for me on collection.

They also hire other types of 4x4 including the Land Rover range, Mitsubishi's, Nissans and others. 

U-Drive also hire with a tow bar http://www.u-drive.co.uk/transport.php?action=customiseVehicle&id=150027, unfortunately Southampton is probably your closest for them and thats a good couple of hours drive.

Good luck

Mike

Hi Brian,
