Automatic vans do exist, but can I hire one? I had a quick look at
some online van hire websites, and the transmission type specified was
manual. Any ideas please, thanks a lot.


Learn to drive a manual one?


Sigh. For some time there has been an auto only driving licence. To get
that changed to a 'manual' one which allows you to drive either would
require taking the driving test again.


And some people (eg my Dad) have disabilities which mean they can't drive a manual car.


So the sort of answer we've come to expect from you.


Quite.

I think best bet is ringing around local places. I've never come across
them, I guess they are more expensive, so not likely many hire places
will have them. Somewhere might have one though


I haven't seen any indication of where your father lives. Is this place of
any use to him? They have two auto vans, a Renault Traffic and a Renault
Master.
