Working on 330 miles London to Lockerbie, 1.08 pound per L for diesel and a van that does 25 to 30 mpg you are looking at 55 - 65 pounds in fuel one way. The mpg on the van is a guess but I know my Dad had a long wheelbase high top Renault master van(basically the bigest van before you go to a small lorry) diesel and that did abiut 22 - 25 mpg, it was old though 1989.
I hired a small transit last september and that was about 30 or 40 quid per day including v.a.t. I would guess you would need a bigger van than that. You may have some better deals. I was in a rush to hire as my arangements fell through.
