Excellent service Evie
I have dealt with Evie with trying to get me the right courtesy car and the first one was too big for me to drive.
EVIE arranged another one which again was smaller but still too big.Evie picked up on this and has now got me the perfect car, this is all in one day.
Her people's skills are excellent thank you so much for persevering with me.

Really straightforward service
Really straightforward service. I was involved in a road traffic accident when a car drove into the back of me. Spectra drive collected my car and delivered me a courtesy car the same day. Communication was pretty straightforward and simple. James has been a great help explaining too me the next steps.

Car hire sorted very quickly all aspects of the claimed sorted (although the third party did accept liability immediately). Kept in the loop at every process.

I honestly can't thank the staff enough…
I honestly can't thank the staff enough at Spectra. Following on from a non fault accident, this company couldn't of been more helpful. Within hours, my car was collected and a brand new car was delivered to me. First time dealing with a car hire company and of course I was a tad worried but any concerns or questions were dealt with in a very calm, professional manner. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every member of staff that supported me through a daunting process. Highly recommend this company.

Too good to be true
They called me shortly after my no fault accident in April and I was told that they deal with everything, I thought great, then i was asked for statements for bank and credit cards in May, I reluctantly provided these, now in July i have been asked for more statements, I wish that I had just gone through my own insurance company. The courtesy car was not like for like, Mine is a X6 theirs was a Lexus saloon, but carries a very high weekly rental cost, I have just been told that if I dont provide more statements that they will pursue me for the hire charges, I will send the other statements but from a great start, it has gone downhill from there. User beware

We're very sorry to read about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
We completely understand that being asked to provide bank and credit card statements can feel intrusive, and we appreciate that this is not something anyone is comfortable doing. However, we'd like to reassure you that these requests do not come from us – they are made by the at-fault driver's insurance company as part of the claims process.
To briefly explain why they ask for this information: the at-fault insurer will often assess whether a customer could have reasonably afforded to hire a replacement vehicle themselves. If they believe this is the case, they will usually try to pay us a significantly reduced hire rate rather than the full amount. This is one of the ways insurers attempt to reduce the value of a claim.
If it is established that you could have afforded the hire vehicle, we will accept the reduced settlement from the insurer and write off any shortfall ourselves. We are not in the business of pursuing our customers for these costs. On the other hand, if the financial information shows that funding the hire yourself would not have been reasonable, it strengthens our position to recover a greater proportion of the hire charges from the at-fault insurer.
It's also worth mentioning that, despite the rates charged, we rarely recover the full hire costs from insurers. In many cases, they negotiate settlements that are significantly lower than our advertised daily rates, which is why those rates can appear high in the first place.
We're sorry to hear you felt the replacement vehicle wasn't a suitable like-for-like match although from an insurance perspective it does fall into the same category.
We hope this explanation helps to clear up some of your concerns. If you would like to discuss your claim further, or if there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us directly. We'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Thank you so much for the positive review.
Utter disgrace
Now 8 months on, my claim is still not sorted as they have billed for the ‘hire car’ NOT A COURTESY CAR so do not be fooled! I’m having to go to court as it’s a £13k bill for the hire car I had for 1 month! Utter joke and the cause of so much stress
You can reply all you want but £13,000 for a car for a month is a joke and you shouldn’t be doing what you’re doing. If I ever hear from you again I’ll be taking you to court

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that this claim has been such a long and stressful process for you. We completely understand how frustrating this situation must feel, and it is never our intention for our customers to experience this level of uncertainty.
Unfortunately, the delays in your claim have been caused by the third-party insurer's handling of the matter. It took several months for liability to be accepted, which is entirely outside of our control.
While we appreciate your frustration, it is important to clarify that the vehicle provided was a hire vehicle, not a courtesy car. This was explained before the vehicle was supplied, and the hire agreement you signed clearly set out the terms and conditions, including the applicable daily hire rates. Had you not been happy with these terms, you were under no obligation to enter into the agreement. The vehicle was then used for a total of 47 days.
We would also like to reassure you that we are not asking you to personally pay these hire charges. As the hirer, however, your cooperation is required to enable us to recover the costs from the at-fault insurer. As a business, we do need to be paid for the hire vehicle that was provided, but our aim has always been to recover these costs from the responsible insurer, not from you.
We sincerely regret the stress this situation has caused and remain committed to working towards a resolution. We hope the outstanding issues can be resolved as quickly as possible.
So far so good
So far so good. Had a non fault accident on 14/07/26 and from the first phone call Spectra Drive were very helpful. Curiosity Car arrived 15/07/26. Had an offer for my vehicle, plus ive had the option to buy it back. Just awaiting the payment, but i remain hopeful that this will go as smoothly as it has so far.

Dissatisfied and Frustrated
From the off I felt that I was not given regular updates, I had to repeatedly phone up and prompt attempts to contact the other parties insurance company. The management of my claim went on for over 2 months and I felt powerless and misinformed, I also felt that scare tactics were used at one stage to get me to release personal information about my finances. The only positive and helpful person that I spoke to was Catherine Barrett who was always helpful and understanding. I wasn’t informed that my vehicle was (eventually) ready for release and collection and overall I am dissatisfied with the management of my claim.

A very patient and understanding team.
