On time, first class
On time, great service and £40 cheaper than Enterprise rental. Staff were very helpful and the vehicle was first class. Would recommend this company.

Thanks Brian, hope all is well!
Excellent service
Excellent service. Easy to book and great customer service. Recommended.
However I did want to book again for next month but it was only giving me the choice of one month and I only need 5 days.

Hi Caroline, thanks for your kind review.
Picking up on your reservation request, I'm guessing this was last week? as we had some date issues within the site, I'm glad to say that this has now been fixed and is back to normal.
Hopefully we can see you again soon! NH

Thankyou for so many A's!!
A seriously positive experience!
Firstly, were relieved to see staff at their stated location, so that was a positive start. The good news continued as we were allocated a new vehicle. All staff members that we had contact/dealt with were courteous and professional. Our trip was certainly one to remember however, even the super narrow and at times busy traffic in the Cornwall region couldn’t take the smile from our face.
Our return to Plymouth 5 days later went perfectly to plan...except for the fact that I’d left my new/ expensive sun glasses in the vehicle. Fortunately, the honesty and integrity of the staff come to the fore and before we alighted our train for the return to London, my glasses were returned...a huge thank you there! Only positives for this experience...10/10
