Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are, unfortunately governed by our Insurance provider when it comes to age restrictions. This is a discussion every year where we try and push the Insurance guys a little further.

Top class service

Top class service! The owner of this business is super organised & makes van hire so so simple NO silly high end DEPOSITS ! Picked the keys up via (key safe) after the code was messaged to me. The van was an XLWB & again the interior was immaculate & clean… the outside had some damage but this was advised before picking up… minor dents & marks. I used this for a home move & what a fantastic van it was to complete such a heavy workload. The owner made it simple to return the van. Love the way the owner makes this less stressful to hire a van. Definitely recommend & definitely would use again. Recommend to family & friends.

Car hire at Exeter St Davids

We used the meet-and-greet service at Exeter St Davids. The hire process was easy, the car was nice, and communication was great. Would use them again.

Excellent service ……….

I was sailing on my boat in the West Country and regrettably I needed to hire a car to return to Hampshire for a funeral. There were potential complications in delivery location, timings and lack of driving licence but Neil from Simply Car took all the problems away. He provided excellent communication and the car hire went perfectly. I would thoroughly recommend Simply Car to everyone.

Turned up on foot without a booking

Turned up on foot without a booking. They needed 30 minutes to give the vehicle a Covid clean inside and then ready to go. All worked perfectly. Key box available to return car after hours and car covered by CCTV.
