Exceptional Customer Service
I use HighDrive a lot and aside from the convenience and reasonable price points, I find the customer service exceptional.
It is very unusual for businesses to be fortunate enough to never experience any problems, but my gauge is not just how often things go wrong, but most importantly how they address the situation.
The Hire Desk at HighDrive are super helpful, particularly Ian. They react quickly and efficiently to any requests and also demnstrate a degree of flexibility understanding that things can effect the hirer too.
Highly recommend this service.
