I have recently being trying to arrange a rental for myself and a group of people travelling to the Isle Of Arran in October to play in the ‘Arran Challenge’ which is a golf competition running throughout the month.<\/p>\n

The problem I have had is finding a suitable vehicle to accommodate a group of lads, a weekend bag and a set of golf clubs each.<\/p>\n

The group was initially 12 people so my intial thought was to go for two 7,8 or 9 seat vehicles<\/a> which would take 6 chaps each and squeeze the luggage in with them at a cost of about \u00a3300 per vehicle per week. Im not sure if you have ever seen the space in a 9 seater but there is just no chance that 6 bags and 6 sets of golf clubs would fit.<\/p>\n

The next option was a 17 seater minibus<\/a>, we have a driver with a D1 on his licence so we are ok from that point of view, this would provide more than enough room for everyone and the luggage and at \u00a3395 for the week it was cheap enough divided between 12 of us.<\/p>\n

The group then grew slowly and reached a peak of 20 people. This presented us with a problem as the 17 seat minibus is the largest vehicle we can hire. So do we lay out another \u00a3300 for a people carrier to give us 24 seats but still struggle with luggage space or… Hire a van<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What a great idea, that gives us exactly 20 seats and whole SWB Transit worth of luggage space. The cost of the van is about \u00a3175 for the week which is a hige saving compared to a people carrier.<\/p>\n

So we have a minibus at \u00a3395 and a SWB van at \u00a3175 which is \u00a3570 for the week, \u00a328.50 per person which is an absolute bargain. Yes we do need to consider that we now have 2 fuel tanks to fill and 2 ferry crossing charges but all in all this is by far the best option for us.<\/p>\n

Really looking forward to the trip and will no doubt be blogging about the Isle of Arran when im back, just dont mention the golf…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
