Rented a transit long wheelbase van from the Brownhills office at the weekend to transfer some furniture from Lichfield to Wales. Van was lovely, fantastic spec and very easy and smooth to drive. We put 60 worth of diesel in and only ended up using about 30 worth as the van was very economical for its size. Customer service was exceptional. Will definitely hire from them again.
