Anyone used one?

Need to get a bike from Perth in Scotland to York, 239 miles and a good 5 hours each way. Decided that the time it'd take and the juice used, I'd be as well using one of these courier dudes.

A quick look on ebay shows i'd be looking at between 50p and £1 per mile.

Any advice on who to use/what to make sure of (insurance, type of van/trailer used etc)?

Cheers

At work we use www.learner-rider.co.uk - Jeremy is a top bloke and his van is properly kitted out, very professional. He's never let us down and has collected/delivered exactly when he said he would.

There you go managed to find them in my feedback. Forgot to say they also take cash on delivery instead of paypal so that is quite reassuring as well. Like i said good outfit and they had it picked up and delivered the next day.
