The mini bus was easy to drive with excellent driver assist features such as reversing cameras and mirror safe to change lane indicators.
Quick and effective staff. Vehicles checked in a systematic way. Full tank on collection was a real bonus.

Sharks

I paid my £100 deposit, but only received £70 back. I was told that "scratches" had appeared on the vehicle in the 3 hours that I had it. They hadn't. I sent them 2 emails 7 days apart and they didn't have the courtesy to reply to either of them. I have subsequently discovered that I am not alone in falling foul of this sharp practice. They need to learn that ripping their customers off is not a good business model.

Hello Mr Salt,

Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our service.

For clarification, our customer service team have contacted yourself with our response email (originally sent to yourself on March 11th), explaining the reason for your retained deposit. It is possible that this message may have been filtered into your junk folder and therefore missed.

We sincerely apologise for any misunderstanding. To confirm, your deposit was not retained due to damage, but due to a fuel discrepancy. This is in line with our like for like fuel policy, which is clearly displayed in our branch and communicated at the time of vehicle collection.

If you have any further questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

U-Drive Customer Service

Came through when others cancelled!

Had two different rental companies cancel my van the week and day of house move, U-drive went above and beyond to get a van ready for me with less than an hour's notice.
Achia was brilliant, explained everything I needed and got me on the road as quickly as possible!

We had been left dangling after Enterprise let us down for a pre-booked hire, the night before the hire. We tried Europcar but they couldn't provide a vehicle. We then contacted U-Drive and all our worried vanished. The van we hired was perfect for our needs, and Asha, who processed our booking could not have better. We are now converts to U-DRIVE and will definitely use them in the future.

Great experience

The booking process was easy and helpful and all necessary information was provided. The phone was answered quickly too! Upon collection, Ty was very friendly, completed the adminstration efficiently and explained all we needed to know. The van itself was ideal for purpose and in pristine condition. Could have done with a little more support with instructions on using a hybrid electric as unfamiliar with it. Maybe an email or text with basic instructions would have been helpful and reassuring, but this is probably just me being out of date! Overall great experience and would recommend.
