I was very happy with the service

I was very happy with the overall service. The mini bus was excellent and drove very well. It was delivered and collected as promised. I'll use them again.

360 Degrees Goodness

Emran handled my order right from the beginning. gave me a good price for the 6 days rental 5-10 dec. the 15 seater ford transit was delivered to us near Kings Cross Station - a short 6 mins walk to a quiet street ... met Mr Zaher signed documents and was handed the keys. included were gps and child boosters. Many advised against driving into London but from this experience please be assured that if you are in a group, hire a minibus from Genie Van Hire. you will not regret because one of the advantages is that you can park at the coach/bus parking space which is available near almost all attractions. Returning the vehicle, we arranged at Gatwick Airport. Mr Dhillon was there waiting for us. Truly hassle free. Good service, good vehicle, good all around... Thanks Emran and the team.

Best wishes
Azrin Abd Rahim,Singapore.

The service I received from this company was second to none. From the initial phone, quotation and follow up calls. Emran went that extra mille to make me feel valued, the kind of service I receive will definitely, make me come back again and again.
I took the vehicle to Europe, with the family the trip was just perfect.
I was a returning customer, all the time I deal with Emran; but I am certain that the rest of staff, have the same level of training. Well done to Vanhiregenie, keep up the good work.

Brilliant Rental Company!

Excellent service and the staff provided very good customer service. The original mini bus at pick up had a front light problem, they changed the mini bus quickly and calmly no issues. They advised me on how to drive the mini bus in terms of clutch control etc. After my trip they pick it up also even though I changed pick up location twice on the day. Any future rentals I’m getting I’m only using Van Hire Genie.

I would like to specifically commend Asim Abbasi at vanhiregenie, who managed my rental of a 9 seater in the first week of May.
Having spoken to other vendors, I was immediately impressed by Asim's understanding of my requirement and offerings to best accommodate my needs.
Later, to accommodate a small change in my plans, Asim liased with the drivers and ensured the process was seamless for us. 5 stars!
Thanks!

Disgusting and disgraceful company

The hired van turns up 3 hours late... and it wasn't even the right one. No communication whatsoever with shocking customer service. Then they have the absolute nerve to charge for damages that suddenly appeared out of nowhere even when we already took photos of the van before and after hire. Will be reporting to trading standards if they continue to chase for damages.
EDIT: After looking at this companies fake reviews below to compensate for the genuine bad reviews I have reported the fake ones to Trust Pilot and will write a lengthy email to them detailing their fake reviews on all sites not just this one.

More than happy for the service. I had the vehicle at the exact time at the airport and the one that I requested. The driver that dropped it proved to be very helpful and explain everything that we needed to know.

I will use them again surely

AVOID. Fraudulent, incompetent and cannot be trusted.

AVOID. Completely dodgy and should not be trusted.

Our group booked a large people carrier to be delivered early one morning. Needlessly to say, they didn't arrive nor provide an update as to why.

We continuously chase and are then fed excuses : first that the they don't know where the driver is and that it's not their problem ( ? ), then refuse to answer the phone for an hour, THEN turn up over three hours late…….with a vehicle nearly **half** the size of the one booked. The excuse this time? That the other one is stuck France.

Fraudulent to the core. My case is common of them if you check the net for reviews, it was just too late for us.

**Update**

From the response below, you can see the 'warm and friendly' team you would have the pleasure of dealing with.
They also don't seem to understand how reviews work - for instance, if my partner books us both a flight and we both receive terrible service, we can both critique the service.
