The car was fantastic! Brand new so was great. The only issues were that the branch I was told to go to was closed! There was a sign for a different branch so I had to walk 1.2kms to get there, and then had to wait for quite a while. Apart from this it was great. Drop off was seamless.

A terrible hire experience, bad enough to wreck your family holiday in London. We were given a hire vehicle with rim damage and were told not to worry as rim damage is counted as damage. We returned the vehicle the next day and got charged the full bond as there was a scuff on the tire. I asked for photos of the vehicle before I hired it, they couldn’t provide it. As soon as they know you have insurance through a third party they will look for any opportunity to take your full bond. In our case the scuff to the tyre required a spot light for it to be seen. Very disappointing as we picked this company due to stronger reviews to avoid this problem. The most detailed return inspection I have ever witnessed when hiring a vehicle. They are clearly looking for any opportunity to pass on charges for older vehicles to customers. No manager or similar to discuss with and left very frustrated due to the poor customer service. I wouldn’t recommend this hire car company.

Very disappointing. The pick up address was closed. Notice on door saying go to another office. No car availability when I got there. I had to wait three hours to get an automatic non-electric vehicle, which is what I booked and needed. No compensation offered.
