We moved in September.
There are two hire companies that offer one way hires to the southern costa Blanca .
we used J hire , but that was due to availability as both are a similar price.
We have a dog so used Brittany Ferries from Poole To Cherbourg, but ferries to Spain are available. The Rac route planning site will give you rough toll charges , France is expensive , and routes can be planned to avoid charges , but that is down to your program,
There are many who will say my advice is rubbish , but I would book any hotels you require in advance to ensure secure parking , as your whole life in a van on the side of a street equals no sleep.
Make the Journey part of the adventure and don't put yourself under pressure. split the journey into easily manageable sections, again route planning sites give you approximate timings allow time for problems,
When planning make sure your co driver is happy with the plans , and driving on the contenant.
Its all about doing your research..
Taking into account . Hire, ferry. Fuel. Tolls. food and drink. Hotels it cost us around £1500, we could have done it cheaper, we could have arrived earlier , but we didn't want to pressurise the journey , and we had a b and b problem , but the drive is easy ,
Don't forget you may be coming over the high ground in January so snow could be a problem.
