Excellent service
Excellent service. Met me at Exeter St Davids with car, talked me through everything, dealt with a small card issue efficiently. Planning on using Simply again in December.
The price is right
I rang various car hire companies in this area who were asking a lot more than their car was advertised for online, the car was clean, the process was simple and off we went, returning the car was simple too, will definitely hire again soon

Once again great Car Rental from Torquay
My second car rental from Daniel and the staff at Simple Car Hire at Torquay Railway station. As with my 1st rental, superb customer service and relations, fab car with all mod cons, everything faultless. And unlike some of the unhelpful "big shots" out there, these guys accept Debit Cards! Will be back later in the year for my car rental again and again.

We were met at the station on time, the paperwork was sorted out quickly and we were driving off on our holiday. Brilliant service, friendly and efficient! Good value for money too. Highly recommended.

Excellent, personal and professional service. When an issue arose with third party insurance, the team gave a speedy and helpful response to assist. From collection, the quality of car to resolving the issue, Could not ask for more
Impeccable service
I’ve used this company regularly over the past few years and have never been disappointed in the service. Neal and Daniel always manage to find me a car even at short notice. Friendly, professional, on time for train station pick ups, helpful and accommodating. I recommend them without hesitation.

We stressed out Americans arranged a rental car through Simple Car prior to a recent trip, including pick-up and drop-off at the Exeter rail station. Everything went smoothly and without a glitch. As a bonus, the Simple Car folk were incredibly helpful, polite, and attentive to our needs and concerns. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Great service and even better follow up when I left my money clip and credit card in the car. I was contacted by the agent who organised to have it returned 👍🏻
Outstanding work. Would certainly use them again and again.
