Comment on Half a billion cheap electrical items go to UK landfills in a year, research finds
tal@lemmy.today 1 year agoWe’ve got U-Haul in the US; one can rent a truck ranging from pickup sized up to tractor-trailer size. If the UK doesn’t have U-Haul, they’ll have some company that fills the same role.

Yeah, they’re in the UK. Checking the prices at a random UK location, it looks like a pickup or cargo van runs $19.95 plus $0.59/kilometer. Though…you’d need to have a driving license or know someone who does. Hmm. That’s not something that comes up much over here, outside of maybe New York City.

Yeah, there’s plenty of car and van rental places - but yes, you need a driving licence for it.
Note that I’m probably in the minority not being able to drive - I think almost half of the people I know have cars and licences these days - and that would be a far higher number in a more rural or wealthier area.
