Once more
Once more, I received top-notch service from First Self Drive Limited. At the very last minute, I required a compact car to pick up my friend from the airport just days before Christmas. They provided a small vehicle at a fantastic rate. Many thanks, and best wishes for a wonderful 2026. God bless, Mark.

Hired a Luton van from this company for 24 hrs. to help move my daughter into her new house. Web site was very easy to use/navigate through. I had to phone them up on this ocassion, but got through VERY quickly & spoke to a very friendly man, who explained
everything clearly, costs, insurance etc...(they were the best on price!) On the day of collection it was very quick & easy to complete the last bits & pieces in the office & someone then talked me through the van, how to use the tail gate etc...The van was spotlessly clean inside & out.
ALL the staff were friendly & efficient, wether on the phone or at the depot. On this experience, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company.

great from start to finish
They were great from start to finish. My car had broken down so I needed a replacement while it was fixed.
Price was the cheapest I found looking online and they were helpful on the phone, and I picked up the car 2 hours later. Never had a hire car before and didnt have high hopes but it was spotless and so modern! A real pleasure to drive and i was sad to let it go! Quick and easy return and all the guys in the office were so friendly
Highly recommend and Ill use again

Top quality service from the whole team. I needed to urgently rent a car overnight, the team found me something & sorted everything out quickly & effectively for me within a matter of minutes.
I must add that all the staff were incredibly friendly & went above and beyond to assist me as time was of the essence.
Good value for money & a cut above the usual rubbish at hire places such as Hertz, enterprise etc

Fantastic and Friendly!
A truly wonderful experience. Booking a van hire was quick and simple through their website, and all communication with staff prior to the booking was efficient and informative. All staff were very welcoming when we arrived and were incredibly helpful with all aspects of hiring the vehicle. We had a very enjoyable day renting a very smart, modern and comfortable van and was able to return the keys following their guidance. Even with a slight mishap on our behalf when returning the vehicle, all colleagues (thank you Joth and Danny from next door!) were kind and professional and helped us problem solve. Excellent value for money and customer service was second to none. Thank you!

The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Happy to go the extra mile to make sure our house move went OK. We had the van for 2 days, had a tail lift which was a godsend. Couldn't have managed without it.

We had an excellent experience while hiring a van from the Norwich branch for a weekend away. The staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable and able to accommodate our requirements. We were impressed with the quality of the modern, clean van we were provided with and would highly recommend the Norwich First Self Drive Branch!

This is the first time I have used First Self Drive and may I say it was an utterly pleasurable experience. The gentlemen were helpful polite friendly and understanding from the outset, their service excellent and the vehicle they provided was perfect for the epic move from East Anglia to the North East. Would recommend them without hesitation. The best I have come across by far. Many thanks to team First Drive. Great bunch.
