My daughter who suffers from anxiety was put at ease.

The ladies who took my initial booking and the one who attended to us when we collected the car were both professional, pleasant and polite.
Both ladies were present when I picked up the car and made my daughter, who suffers from anxiety, very relaxed and at ease

The van was in immaculate condition and…

The van was in immaculate condition and was exceedingly well prepared. Whomever does the valeting of vehicles at the Elgin facility does an excellent job and needs to be commended. The customer service and communication was good and the whole hiring process was excellent. My one “gripe” was the lack of parking at the facility. I had no other option but to leave my own vehicle parked on the roadside for 2 nights while using the hire van.

Fair value for the price

I appreciated that A) excess waiver purchased in advance truly meant no payment on site; B) the car was exactly the brand and make we had agreed in advance with very limited mileage, almost brand new; and C) the short time needed to get and return the car. Also good point that the company has wide coverage in Scotland. All in all, I would certainly recommend the company to others.
To note: Transfer from Edinburgh airport with the shuttle took 20-40 min with the waiting during working hours, therefore it is best practice to leave ample time for it!

Hello Akos,

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review.

We're delighted to hear that the entire process, from collecting to returning your vehicle, was quick and straightforward. It's especially pleasing to know that the excess waiver purchased in advance provided exactly the peace of mind and convenience you expected, with no additional payments required on collection.

We're also thrilled that the vehicle matched your booking and arrived in excellent condition with very low mileage. Providing modern, high-quality vehicles and a smooth rental experience is something we take great pride in.

Thank you as well for highlighting our network of locations across Scotland and for sharing your helpful advice regarding the airport shuttle service. We appreciate you taking the time to provide such balanced and constructive feedback.

Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Arnold Clark is a good company to use

Arnold Clark is a good company to use. The booking process is easy, and the customer service is very good. The prices are very reasonable and competitive. The staff were useful, knowledgable and helpful. There was no pressure selling. The choice of vehicles is extensive, and the vehicles are up to date and well maintained. I always use Arnold Clark and better than other companies that I have used. I recommend this company if you need a van or car in advance or at short notice.
