Van + Ramp rental in London (or near London)

[er-minio]

I'll have to move two bikes and I need to rent a van with a motorbike loading ramp for the occasion.
Pick-up/Return from London or around London.

Obviously rented all sort of Transit vans in the past from the usual suspects, but I was looking for advice on some place where to rent van+ramp (possibly straps, etc., but I'd rather buy those) together.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

You can buy the alloy ramps brand new on eBay for £42 delivered buy your own straps & just hire a van

Yeah, I've seen a few already.
I was trying to rent both, not much because of the ramp cost (everything I saw was between that an 70/80 quid) but to avoid stuffing any more bike gear into the flat.

Also, in the rare case finding a van with a larger ramp will make everything a bit easier.

Hire a Luton body with a tail lift?

I'm in west london and have ramp/straps. Can loan you them. Would only ask for a deposit as I dont know you. Also have double bike trailer if you have a tow hitch.

AAAAAAH

Damn. I placed the order for the ramp/straps yesterday. Let me see if I can cancel it...
Yes I can load the ramp in the car. Deposit makes completely sense.

I'll PM you in case I'm able to cancel the order for the ramp.

Thanks anyway!

Ramp has already been dispatched apparently. Cannot cancel.
Still, thanks a lot for the offer.

I normally drive the bike to trackdays, but my HP2 hasn't been registered yet (missing piece of paper, will delay the registration by 2 weeks) and I'm transporting it along with a mate's BCR on the 9th to Snetterton.
I'm looking to install a tow hitch on my car anyway as trailing the bikes might be the best option for some places that are a bit far away (you don't want to ride 200+ miles after a full trackday).

No worries mate. Can sort something out re trailer. Where abouts in London are you?

Here's the ramp on the way back home today

Regarding the trailer, we sorted out now with a Transit for the weekend. And the ramp. Thanks!
I'm in Belsize btw.
