Customers in Salisbury who are comparing self-drive van options can use Alco’s Winchester collection point for house moves, furniture, business requirements and longer one-off journeys.
Van hire can be useful across Salisbury and nearby areas such as Harnham, Fisherton, Bemerton and Old Sarum. Because this is a longer trip to the collection point than the closer Winchester-area towns, it is especially important to choose the right van size and hire period before travelling to collect.
The road journey between Salisbury and Winchester is roughly two dozen miles, with the exact route depending on your starting point and traffic. Alco is based on Romsey Road on the western side of Winchester, so plan your route directly to SO22 5QN rather than to Winchester city centre.
