Couldnt have asked for better service and a bargain price. Professional, friendly and affordable. Hired a van recently as I was moving and they respond to emails so unbelievably quick.

I chose not to own a car several years ago and have hired regularly here since. I have never had any problems at all and have found the service friendly and professional. I would recommend them to everyone. Its nice to be able to hire different size vehicles to suit your needs. I'm thinking of trying an electric vehicle next.

Cars have always been good and prices are reasonable. However, the last several times I rented they didn't return the 100 deposit until I emailed them manually (in one case over 3 months later). Left a bit of a sour taste in the mouth...

A lovely family run business. The whole procedure goes very smoothly. I have rented several times now and will always use them. Cars clean and all staff friendly.

What a brilliant van hire company based in Cambridge. My van, a VW Transporter similar to a transit, was very low mileage, really clean and drove without fault. The service I received from the staff was friendly and helpful and on top of this the price for 4 days was way lower than the competitors. This is a classic example of a small family owned independent business knocking the spots off the big nationals. Thank you.

Hired a van last week which was a brand new Ford Transit. Staff were helpful and the van was very well cleaned. Will 100% use again next time I go to a show and will recommend.
