 Is there a listing for caravan hire businesses? We have decided that at this point we will not buy our own van and continue to hire from places closer to our final destination/area. So we drive the long distances without having to pull a van and thus save time and petrol.
Although I have [succesfully] looked around and found hire places using Google as a search tool, there must be an easier way to find/compare businesses that hire out caravans?
Is there an industry body or website which lists registered caravan hire businesses in the various States?

Re: Is there a listing for caravan hire businesses? Odzi. If you go to this site it lists a few van hire companies with modern vans. http://www.ozparks.com.au/pages/links.php About half way down the page. The one listed for Melbourne is U-Tow Caravan Hire in Somerville. Cheers, ozjohn.

Re: Is there a listing for caravan hire businesses? Now why didn’t I think of that? Yellow Pages on the internet gives you all sorts of searching ways.
Thanks for the tip/reminder TA.
