A true no nonsense business. Friendly and helpful staff, fair pricing, fair vehicle support and vehicles that are either new or close to it. I will definitely be a repeat customer when I visit the area next. Thank you ISD!

I'm a first time car renter at Intack and would certainly recommend them. Competitive pricing and efficient service. I'll certainly use Intack again should the need arise.

I`ve used them so many times to hire cars for 7 days at the time and they were always professional and delivered a decent service. Once I had to cancel a booking at short notice due to Covid and I managed to get a full refund. Will definitely recommend them and carry on using them whenever I need a car.

I have had a vehicle on hire from Intack for the past 2 and a half years and in that time I can say the service has been outstanding.
Russell and the team have gone above and beyond to make sure that we have been in a reliable and and well maintained vehicle,
I would have no hesitation in recommending Intack. Thank you to all.

Could not fault any aspect of the whole process from quotation to returning the vehicle. Everybody I met was thoroughly professional and on the ball. Best experience of hiring a vehicle anywhere.
