Report
We are a United Licensee for a year now and URG has helped us a lot since we started in the vehicle hire business. We always look forward to receiving their email offers on new vehicles in stock. Tim, Nick, Naomi and Maite are attentive to our needs, and they reply to our queries in a timely manner. A very reliable and professional rental company. We look forward to growing our fleet in partnership with URG for many years to come.

Report
Unbelievable organisation allowing independent rental companies to compete with the nationals and internationals. They pride themselves on honesty and integrity with a huge range of products and services. Truly a one stop shop for rental companies - I can wholeheartedly recommend URG as one of the best business decisions you will ever make.
