I had to hire a car from Drive Car Hire…

I had to hire a car from Drive Car Hire while my instructors car was off the road and, I can’t praise them enough. I was so worried because I had a driving test that week. Roy and, his team were so kind, helpful and, professional. They met my needs perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to others and, it’s so reassuring to know that they are there in times of need.
Thank you so much!

Emergency help

About a month ago, I suddenly had an issue with the gearbox on my driving school car, I asked advice from colleagues about hire companies but no joy, but then I came across Drive Car Hire.
Friendly, accommodating and professional, I rang them and had a replacement delivered the same day and when my own car was repaired, they collected their car the following day. Nothing is hidden from you, everything is up front and honest, thank you Roy and the team for being there in my hour of need, which helped mt to keep working. Geoff.

Courtesy car

What a company to deal with I get stressed when something goes wrong and Roy (the boss) and especially Jenny helped with dual control car for my business so I wouldn't lose customer's and carry on with my livelihood knowing my car is getting fixed very polite and professional and sense of humour when your talking to them put my mind at ease. I hope I don't have another accident or fault with my car but if I do they are only a phone away THANK YOU SO MUCH JENNY AND ROY AND FOGGY (DELIVERY DRIVER) for your support.

Drive Car Hire is helpful and hassle free!

Roy at Drive Car Hire is so helpful. He had me a car delivered well within 24 hours. The process was simply, the delivery driver was polite and informative about the car delivered and the car itself was in excellent condition. When my car was fixed, collection was hassle free. In the nicest way possible I hope I don't need to use Drive again but I know if I need to hire again I will be well looked after. I won't be going anywhere else in future. Thanks Roy!!

Highly Recommended..

The most efficient car hire company I've dealt with. Needed a dual controlled car late afternoon, gave Drive Car Hire a call expecting next day at best but after speaking to Roy a car was delivered before the end of that working day. Fantastic service from Roy and his staff and would highly recommend giving them a try. John L

It's the 2nd time iv dealt with this…

It's the 2nd time iv dealt with this company. 1st time round the service was unbelievable. But you stop and think to yourself I must have been lucky and caught them at a quiet time. Last Friday I had to deal with them again. About 1pm I had gearbox problems in my car. Phoned my franchise company then the RAC. By 1.45pm Roy phoned me. As I'm on the phone to Roy the RAC turn up. I say to Roy iv got to go. He said leave it with me I'll sort it out. Standing there watching my car being driven away on a flatbed thinking omg there goes my weekends earnings. At 3.30 Byron calls me and tells me he's on his way. At 4pm my phone rings and Byron tells me he's outside. I go outside and Byron's there with a set of keys and a big smile. 2hs 15 minutes unbelievable. Thank you to Roy Byron and all the crew.
