Did not show.

So this morning my partner and his friends have been stranded at 5am with no driver turning up - no details given the day before as stated and no way to go on his stag do! Highly likely they’ve missed their flight. £650 they have paid. With no answer from the company appalling and I will be taking this further.

Dear Anna, We apologize and we are looking into this. This is was an extremely rare and unfortunate situation as the driver who had confirmed the job before had an issue and he was unable to attend in the morning. Despite our normal checks , this led to issue with your trip

We have instructed the team to issue a full refund and we invite you to reach out directly to our team. This was an isolated incident. Over the past six months, we have completed more then 800 trips successfully but we recognize this doesn't less your disappointment

Again please accept our sincerest apologies

Robbed

So! The man (Marcus)on the other end of the phone was very helpful, he knew we were desperate for a certain type of vehicle due to our circumstances. It was only when on our trip to the airport, we discovered that although we had paid £400, the third party contractor had only charged £200 that we felt we had been taken advantage of. I would add at this point that the third party contractor was equally shocked and also felt robbed. When we challenged our “helpful”man, he started wriggling and saying, we had to take in account of things like MOT’s and fuel which of course were paid for by the sub contractor and not him anyway and did not affect his profit. To summarise I feel our desperation was taken advantage of, I begrudge no man a profit but this was out and out daylight robbery. Do yourself’s a favour and check other companies if you have the time before you go with this company, don’t be fooled by the charm!

Having now read your reply, If you were expecting to pay £350 for a subcontractor and you found one for only £200. being the fair company you claim to be, possibly you could have offered us a small refund from our £400 fee?

Dear Mervyn We are sorry that you had felt taken advantage of, Your booking was done on less then 12 hours notice in the Barton area where we had limited availability and partners. We worked very hard to find you a suitable vehicle at very short notice. In fact, we were fortunate to secure a provider for that much amount (an amount given by the provider himself) when we were expecting close to 350 .

The final price you paid included not just vehicle cost but our operating costs, advertising costs, technology systems and staffing which allows us to arrange transport even on short notices. We are not a company that seeks to exploit customers or our partners.

Horrible company

Our experience with this company was terrible from start to finish. First, they lied to us about the booking. We were promised a larger vehicle, but they sent a much smaller one. Naturally, our luggage didn’t fit – instead of fixing their mistake, they tried to charge us extra. Without asking our permission, they even put our luggage in another family’s vehicle just because they were going to the same airport. That’s unsafe and completely unacceptable.

On top of that, they later tried to charge us for eating in the vehicle. This was a five-hour journey with small children, and the driver himself told us it was fine to eat onboard – he even shared some of our food! For them to turn around and demand extra money afterwards is pure dishonesty.

This company is untrustworthy, unprofessional, and only interested in squeezing money out of customers. Save yourself the stress and book elsewhere.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Your original booking was for a smaller vehicle. When you later wanted to upgrade to a larger vehicle, we informed you for an additional charge and didn't receive any confirmation until two days before the journey. Our team called ourselves one day before the journey and reminded your team member about the change that had been requested.

We mentioned that we can only now provide an additional vehicle and not a larger vehicle. This was accepted by your representative.

Regarding eating inside the vehicle, our Terms & Conditions (Clause 18) clearly state that eating inside the vehicle is not permitted , especially due to our tight scheduling between journeys. We relax this only in cases when it doesn't require any cleaning later.

Our driver waited for almost an hour after the agreed time of pickup and the group also left food waste in the vehicle. We only requested the amount to cover the cost of cleaning and the compensation, which you negotiated and paid less then half of the amount requested, leaving the remaining loss with us.

We strive to provide professional service. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and remain committed to improving our service.

a helping hand!

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding support provided by a staff member of your company, Henry, during a recent issue encountered with a motor coach booking. When a problem presented itself Henry handled the situation in a professional and courteous manner. Thanks to his efforts the problem was resolved.

As a business owner and operator for over 36 years I realize how rare it is to come across someone who is both skilled in their position and customer focused to such a degree. He is definitely a rare find….

Amazing experience!

Working with this company was so amazing! Shawn was so thorough and helped me with everything I needed. He made the booking process so smooth and professional and answered any questions I had to a high degree. Our driver Max was a gem! He was so nice, flexible and attended to all our needs.

The van itself was clean, well kept and had air conditioning, which was really essential as we were travelling on a very hot day.

I would definitely recommend this company to be used for any type of hire and I’m looking forward to booking with them again.

We had a family trip in August of 2024 to Scotland

We had a family trip in August of 2024 and the experience was very good. I dealt with Henry who was very helpful in planning transfers and day trips for our group of 16.
Henry kept in touch and provided all the guidance and information that I needed. He provided reminders and information about the drivers. Excellent experience.

Excellent service

Hired a minibus for a wedding. The whole process if booking the minibus was straight forward. Our contact was Henry.
Day before the hire date, we were sent details of the driver and also had contact from the driver.
On the hire date, unfortunately, due to the heat, there was a problem with the air-conditioning and had to be repaired. We were notified of thevissue straight away by the driver and he arranged to send 2 replacement cars. Both the cars arrived and took us to the church. We were advised by the minibus driver that minibus will be repaired by the pick up time and he will be waiting for us. True to his word, when we came out of the church, he was there waiting for us. Excellent service.
Overall, excellent service provided by the company. Breaking down of the minibus was unfortunate but these things happen. The most important thing was that they promptly organised replacement cars to take is to the church. Excellent service provided by Henry. You are a star Henry 🌟
The company compensated us for the inconvenience caused and has also offered us reduction on future booking.
Couldn't ask for more. Please keep up the service you are giving.

From start to finish our booking with HireGo was excellent.

From start to finish our booking with HireGo was excellent.
The booking process was very easy and my telephone queries ( having been let down badly with another firm )were answered immediately and the booking followed up by email, a booking confirmation and by telephone to check times and dates. We were also given the drivers information which was reassuring. The driver was at the venue ready for us before the booked time and was very patient while all 16 passengers were rounded up and boarded.
The mini bus was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the driver professional and helpful. The ride was very good considering the tiny roads our driver had to traverse to and from the venue.
Excellent service and would use this company again.
