10/10 as usual

The staff treat you like a human and not another customer, like it's business as usual there was a mix up with my hire car but it was sorted promptly and the lady even asked if my youngest daughter enjoyed her first holiday which I appreciated, on collecting the car I was in and out fairly quickly and on returning the car I was in and out fairly quickly. I have hired from multiple places but since I discovered Arnold clarke car hire I have only ever hired from these I think this is the 4th or 5th time I have hired from this exact place and never had a problem, I also think the pricing is really reasonable for the cars I have never hired a van.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear that our team made you feel valued as a person rather than just another customer.

While we're sorry there was a mix-up with your hire car, it's great to know that the issue was resolved promptly and that our colleague took the time to ask about your daughter's first holiday. It's those personal touches that help build lasting relationships with our customers, and we're pleased that it made such a positive impression.

We're also delighted to hear that both the collection and return processes were quick and straightforward. Knowing that you've hired from us four or five times at the same location and have continued to return because of the service you receive is incredibly rewarding for the team.

Amazing service!

Followed the reviews online and booked here. Booking was easy and transparent, no hidden costs. At the airport, calling the shuttlebus was easy with the provided telephone number, nice and helpfull staff. At the register a lovely vibe, understanding and good informstion. The car itself was lovely, clean and modern. It really lifted our holiday to a higher level! After the hire, everthing was transparent and handled perfectly, even when I pointed out a minor inconvenience with the tire pressure during the week; they immediately took the info to check it for the next renter. The shuttlebus back was smooth, definitely worth it. Can highly recommend this company and we will definitely hire again from here! Shout out to the Manchester M22 Airport crew!
