I can't fault Admiral. The service, support and options are all excellent. I think pricing is fair and the employees tend to have a cheerful attitude and are happy to help.

We hired a tail lift van from them for a day to move some furniture. The vehicle was really good quality and only cost us 100.00 for a 24 hour period.

Excellent service at the best price I could find.the truck was clean and in good condition. The staff were very nice and friendly and even more importantly helpful as I had not hired a 7.5t before. And on top of that they even waited a short time after hours so I could return truck the same night. Highly recommendable.
