  • I've agreed to help a friend move from Berlin to the UK. Has anyone done anything similar and can suggest the easiest/cheapest way of doing it? He has an obscenely large/valuable record collection so doesn't want to have to ship his things which means using a van. In the past I've had to rent a van from Slovenia to get back to the UK, the rental company quoted over £2000 to collect the van from the UK at the end of the rental so it worked out way cheaper to just drive it back and fly home. I'd ideally not drive from Leeds to Berlin and back to save money so alternative suggestions would be appreciated!

  • Overnight ferry from Hull to Rotterdam would cut a good chunk off your drive. It's probably not the quickest as they do laps of the North Sea, but you arrive after a kip and breakfast.

  • I just had a look at prices and £350ish each way for the Hull-Rotterdam ferry vs £70ish each way for the Eurotunnel means it isn't really an option unfortunately!

    @coventry_eagle I've never used Bla Bla Car before, how much hassle do you think it'd be to find someone travelling from Berlin to the UK (or at least part of the way) with enough room for hundreds of records and other assorted bits and bobs?

    @Greenbank that's not a bad idea at all, I'll suggest that!
