Waste of time
Had a collection booked between 8-12, nobody turned up and after 5 phone calls I got told they couldn’t reach the driver and it would be rescheduled for the next day between 8-12. Yet again nobody turned up, no information given about why. After ringing and 4:30 pm I was told the driver would be with me by 5:30 and nobody showed up.

I’m struggling to find your booking based on the information provided. I’ve made a request for more information via Trustpilot, or you can email this to us using help@car.co.uk.
If you can provide your registration then I can verify the issue and look into it on your behalf.
Thank you.

Outstanding
Outstanding, cannot rate them higher. Really simple yet effective throughout, and when I had a query I was able to message via WhatsApp and got a response within 24 hours despite it being the weekend.
Also received payment for my car while it was still getting picked up so didn’t even have to wait for the money! Strongly recommend.
