Nowhere else could I get the 9 seater…

Nowhere else could I get the 9 seater for this price , very good price , the vehicle did it’s job, got my family to where we needed to be , a warning light did come up intermittently , when I reported this back they did say it had just come back from an engine rebuild, But genuinely I can’t complain for the price I paid , it did the job, got us there and back again, everywhere else wanted 500 pound plus for a 9 seater.. definitely would use their services again .

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE

Absolutely fantastic company to deal with. Respond very quickly to queries and the staff were very helpful. Car was lovely (Aygo 5 door auto) and very very clean. Prices are also excellent. I will definitely use them again and I recommend them.

Quick, Easy and Reasonably Priced!

We've hired 3 cars from Number One Car and Van Hire. Each time it has been fairly last minute. The process has always been really quick and easy with friendly staff and the cars have always been spotless! Thank you!

Very disappointing customer service

Rented a van as was a good price and as a family we have used number one on occasion over the years and recommended to others. However my recent experience was appalling from start to finish. When we arrived we had no good morning or friendly welcome. The 2 female ladies in the office were extremely rude and told us to wait outside, after 10 minutes I asked what was going on and I was told ‘She’s on the phone you’ll have to wait’ we weren’t explained any of the process and left feeling unhappy. We drove the van 1 minute down the road, after we had packed up all of our things the van wouldn’t start and had a flat battery ! We then phoned in and had a rude reception. I asked if the van was jump started before it was given to us and I had a very rude remark back, almost insulting!! Moving house is extremely stressful without the added stress of this. Will never be returning and will spread this experience!

I would however just like to add that the one thing that was right was the gentlemen who appraised the van before and after. Better customer service than the advisors!

Dear Sophie,
Im sorry to hear you've had a bad experience here at No1 our aim is always customer satisfaction - you were asked to wait outside because you didn’t have a face mask? No1 is classed as a shop, therefore we have to follow guidance from the government regarding masks and ask them to be worn by all customers and counter staff alike to protect both party’s. We are always extremely busy between 8am and 8.30am and can now only serve 1 customer at a time instead of our usual 3 computers this is due to social distancing laws which is why there was a slight delay in getting you away.
In response to you comment about the van unfortunately the battery issue was caused by excessive use of the tail lift which operates from the battery and addressed and we rectified the issue within 15 minutes of your call! I can also confirm that we've had the battery tested at our local garage and its charging at between 13-14volts and has a good health report.
I can be contacted on 0208 647 0001 should you wish to discuss this further.
Kind Regards
Geoff
PS. Moses said thanks for your kind words.

Always use Number One

Always use Number One, even though I now live in Caterham 9 miles away. Unbeatable value, great service. This weekend, when returning the hired van, I left my own car keys at home. Geoff let me use one of h8s cars for the 18 mile round trip - NO CHARGE. TOP MAN; TOP COMPANY: Saved the day

First time I've used the company and…

First time I've used the company and was extremely impressed with the service. They were really helpful with the need to change the hire date after making my initial booking and on the day the service was everything you wish for - polite, efficient staff and a good vehicle. A much better experience than I've had hiring through bigger companies - and at a better price. I will be using them again and I would highly recommend to anyone.
