Bristol Branch

Needed a van at short notice. Team were great, friendly and booked me in no problem. The van was clean and the gentleman talked me through the points I needed to know.

It's not the first time I've used them and I find the provide a really efficient service and I would highly recommend.

Excellent Car Hire

Efficient, friendly and fast! Best car hire experience I’ve had.

Eastleigh branch near Southampton Parkway Airport were great, especially Greg. Switchboard

Switchboard are great. Within five minutes of speaking to a Welsh operator, I was booking my car. It was ready in an hour, insurance & breakdown included in the price. No annoying upselling🙌

This company only does 15% Retail business. I will never go to Hertz or the big companies again, if I can use Day’s Autos instead.

Recommend very highly. They literally went the extra mile with the car I hired.

Appalled

What an ignorant bunch in the Shrewsbury branch! Never have I been ignored by so many, for so long. After an eternity waiting one looked straight at me before turning to his mate and saying “So what time are you picking Brian up this afternoon?” So I walked out…….Wish we had the Swansea branch (apparently) according to previous reviews.

Abysmal

Abysmal. Shockingly poor service from their Head Office. A complete and utter lack of respect, customer service and leaking of personal information.

I would warn against anybody using this company, they are terrible. Plenty of better alternatives around.

Last minute booking made easy

After being let down by Enterprise I went to Days Rental. Easy to book the van was in excellent condition with all defects (which were only minor scuffs) identified. On return a thorough inspection was made and my deposit was refunded within minutes. Very professional company and staff.

Inconsistent reviews

I am currently searching the market to rent a motor home and came across Day’s Rental website, so I naturally came to check out their Trustpilot reviews and what is immediately clear is that many of the reviews are repetitive and most likely fake reviews due to the consistent use of the same verbiage across many of the reviews. It would appear that the genuine reviews appear to be the complaint reviews, so if all of the fake reviews were removed, the true rating would be significantly lower.

As someone who works in IT, it is easy to perform checks nowadays with the use of AI filtering to identify which companies are using third party companies to generate fake, favorable reviews.

No doubt the company will deny this, but just read the reviews, it’s very easy to detect in this case, so my question is , what have you got to hide by generating fake reviews to dilute the real reviews?

In this case, I will take my business elsewhere as it’s too much a red flag from the outset.

Reply from Day's Rental

Dear Mr Styles,
A customer of ours referred us to your review as they felt it was grossly unfair and warranted a response. We left Trustpilot around 2 years ago and do not routinely monitor our dormant account. However, we agreed with the customer, so here it is.

The platform affords the opportunity for people to share their personal experience on the levels of customer service and the products they receive. Sadly, it also allows this to happen without the need to be a customer, someone like you.

Your review is simply one of our reviews, not of a genuine customer experience. You seek to dissuade others from using our business without any evidence to support your words.

Based on your opinion as an IT expert, you say 'it is easy to perform AI checks nowadays'. Well, as someone who works in IT, this should be no problem for you. I invite you to do this and present your findings to Trustpilot. We would welcome the findings.

But importantly, you must not confuse your expert opinion with the hard work and dedication of our staff to achieve the reviews we have whilst we were with Trustpilot. It is unnecessary and unhelpful.

There is good news however, and it is that we have moved to FEEFO, a competitor of Trustpilot. You should check out our reviews there. These are verified and genuine reviews, ones where you must be a customer to have the opportunity to leave a review. There you will see much of the same verbiage from our customers on FEEFO, but It might also lead you to consider that we are as good as our reviews say we are...just a thought for you to ponder over.

If you wish to discuss your particular concerns, I would be delighted to speak with you. My details are below.

Friendly & very helpful

Friendly & very helpful. Would certainly use them again. I went to them direct after nearly placing a booking with another company ( Yellohire ) who had rather dubious feedback.

Day's Rental Aberystwyth Branch go above and beyond to treat their customers well, from the initial contact, through booking, collection ,handover, and return and the final invoice was prompt too. Easy to find, on the Llanbadarn Industrial Estate and you can leave your own vehicle on site too if you wish. We hired a Renault Traffic to move furniture with. Great to drive and very clean. This is the second time we have hired from them and their prices are very competitive.

Awesome company must checkout

Brilliant service the staff was very helpful, friendly, chatty,explained everything simply was very efficient from start havnt returned the car yet so can't say on quickness of refund will update once done . The car was very clean and tidy ,suitable for the requirements I asked for . So far from the other companies I've reviewed this one has to be top of my list ,only reason not a 5 star is because I've yet to conclude my contract I would Definitely recommend checking this company out you won't be dissatisfied or disappointed

After the breakdown of a 2 month old transit I was given a courtesy vehicle arranged by Ford assist. Before I could have this vehicle I had the pay the hirer £100 pounds deposit. The vehicle has been returned for eight days now but no sign of my deposit back. I tried messaging on their site but got message to leave email. I called but was then told the computers were not loading. Is this company legit, as it seems like a big scam to me, and Ford are helping them
I give them 1 star as I cannot give 0
The moral is NEVER buy a Ford or use days rental.

Booked a minibus from Swansea Days…

Booked a minibus from Swansea Days Rental for a charity event on Days own portal, confirmed via email. Rang up a few days prior to collection to see if it would be ok to collect 30 minutes early, told yea. Mentioned I had 6 points and told ‘no problem’. The most uphelpful pair of enployees then told me with no sympathy that I couldn’t have it when I collected it as ‘points are for something our insurers don’t like’. Infuriating as the branch hd told me ‘no problem’!
Ok we said, can my colleague rent it? His driving licence was at home 75 miles away but we could get a photo of it and access it on DVLA website. Nope, our policy says we have to touch it with our hands. 🙄
Easily the most unhelpful, disappointing, infuriating and jobsworth service we’ve received in years and we won’t be returning.

Highly recommended (Southampton)

We hired a van from the Southampton branch and would highly recommend this company.
The van was reasonably priced for the size, clean and new (some rental places use old vans which are not comfy on long journeys).
The staff were very friendly and helpful and cannot thank them enough.
I would certainly go to Days Rental next time.
Thank you!

Great car, great service...

Not used daysrental before, but will definitely be going back. I made a booking at short notice, and was pleasantly surprised. The car was immaculate, both aesthetically and mechanically. My only complaint was that I had to return it! :) super job, thank you...
