We hired a car for 2 weeks when my son visited from Canada this week, because I booked it when my son was still in Vancouver Wayne was extremely helpful and got the hire all set up before he arrived so it was so easy when we collected the car. Nothing was too much trouble and he made the whole experience a pleasurable one. Thank you to all the staff very friendly office

Fantastic service.

I hired a transit-sized van from First Self Drive over a weekend.
The staff were very helpful, courteous and professional. The vehicle was clean, well maintained and reliable - perfect for the job I hired in for.
I have hired various vehicles from First Self Drive over a period of about ten years. I have never had a problem and would not hesitate in using them again. Excellent service. 10 out of 10.

Better than most international car rental companies

Best customer service I've received from a car rental hire so far. Staff were friendly and patient when helping me make a telephone booking. Pick up and drop off was extremely easy. The car was in pristine condition and the price very reasonable. 10/10 highly recommended.

Efficient, fast and friendly service at a competitive price. Van was clean and in great working order, making for a stress free day of hire. Would most certainly return.

The whole team are pleasant and efficient but there is also a trustworthiness. We hired a Ford Transit Custom in order to collect family with lots of luggage from Gatwick. When we came back David noticed a score just below the driver’s door. My face fell. He said “I’ll just go and check whether it was there before.” He came back beaming, saying that it had been there.
Integrity about regulations, payment, everything

I hired a Luton van for 24 hours to move house at an amazing competitive price. Some ‘alternative’ well know vehicle hire companies were double the cost and only available current day or would incur an additional day cost.
The gentlemen in the office were very friendly, in particular the handsome man with the beautiful hair! 😉 you know who you are!! 🤣🤣

Thank you for making our moving day easier and a whole lot cheaper.
