Can you "borrow" a van (a friend or a friend of a friend) it would be easier to use a van but soooo much more expensive if you need to hire one

If you hire a van you can ram all your other stuff in it :thumb: Runs are mostly space so easy to take everything else!
If you've not got much stuff to take I'd actually dismantle it though

I've moved 6 times with at least 5 setups - we just hired a van to move everything and left it as assembled as possible. If you take it apart too many times it can become less sturdy over time. If you are only moving it once though should be fine to dismantle. We got a 8ft x 6ft run and 6ft x 2.5ft hutch into a zafira dismantled.

Mmmm! Try and hire the smallest van you can (obviously), and if you can go to the hire place to see the doors etc., as just because the internal space will fit it doesn't mean it'll get through the doors (which I guess is the car problem?). My car has a great internal space, about 4'x4' if I put the seats down, so I can on-paper fit flat big things in it. Or could if the doors opened a bit differently! :lol:
Is there a 'man with a (big) van' service nearby? Or someone with a pickup truck (eg garden contractor) who could do it without dismantling it?
Even dismantled, I doubt that it would fit in our Vito, which is a fairly standard size van. We can get flat sheets of 8' x 4' in if they go over the top of all the seats, or the odd 3m length of wood if we put it diagonally and right over the dashboard.
