Sorted out a van for me at short notice after another supplier let me down. All smoothly organised and out of hours return is a bonus. Will definitely use again over others.

What great friendly service.
I popped in a few weeks beforehand to ask some questions about what I need to do to hire a 7.5t lorry, the staff are very helpful and talked me through the whole process. The staff are very friendly and make the whole experience easy.
Thumbs up from me.

Asked for a long wheelbase high top…
Asked for a long wheelbase high top vehicle, was informed they had one, I must admit I was in a rush, but in the office I said no way that's a long wheelbase its a medium, I was due to clear a property that's why I asked for a long wheelbase, drove 25 miles to collect it, the lady said, that's how they make a long wheelbase now, it's definitely a long wheelbase.! It was absolutely a medium wheelbase not big enough for the job by a long way. When a called to complain, they did not care one jot, and offered me another van which they called a "jumbo" which was again the same medium based van! Apparently udrive call the vans their own up made up category not what they are listed as by the manufacturer! So be careful if you need a large van, you will get a medium. Had hired for 7 days, taking it back the same day! What a waste of time and money! Never again, and by the amount one 1 star reviews wish I had checked first!!

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that our service did not meet your expectations. We categorise our vehicles based on the manufacturer’s description. The exact length, height and load capacity may differ between vehicle manufacturers. Our teams do attempt to qualify what is to be carried in a vehicle to ensure the person booking, is ordering the correct size van for their need. 93% of our Trustpilot reviews are 4 and 5-Star.

I’ve been using U-drive since 2016 and it’s now corporate! Customer comes last.
I’ve been using u drive for my business since 2016. Over the time everything has slipped to be a ‘head office’ enterprise rather than local branch experience. I’ve had so many occasions that the Bristol depot have missed things but I’ve had a good flowing relationship with the team and their manager. This isn't about them but about the office that manages them. I’ve put up with under inflated tyres, no ad blue in vehicles, engine lights on, broken clutches, dirt vehicles etc but I’ve never complained. As soon as I damage the vehicle above windscreen level they overcharge by £300 for repair which I had quoted by an amazing local business. I understand authorised repairers etc and of course I understand my liability but I’ve never ever seen a van repaired in nearly a decade so I’m paying £700 for a minor dent that doesn’t justify the charge. This is a depreciation charge way beyond the price tag. I’m sorry to say I’d avoid using this company and opt for smaller companies. They have no longer got their customers at the forefront of their business model. It’s now about money and lacking customer service completely governed by head office. Every correspondence with head office is passive aggressive, lacking in addressing the actual issues I’ve had but also is dismissive. AVOID!

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that our service did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, you damaged the rental vehicle while it was on hire to you for which you were responsible. If you cause damage to a vehicle, you will be charged in accordance with the terms and conditions of rental and any excess level that may apply. The charges applied are correct, a full estimate was provided. As a business we use approved repairers, who are able to provide a warranty on the repair.

Great service and efficiency
Great service from the Southampton team. Booked a tipper truck online and dropped into the office the day before hire to complete the licence checks and general information. As a result, the pick up was speedy and efficient.
Vehicle was almost brand new, so everything worked perfectly.
Will definitely be using on a regular basis over the coming year.

Great staff, good prices, nice vehicles
I hired two vans over two weekends. U Drive has super helpful and friendly staff and were a pleasure to rent from. Both vehicles were clean and in great condition. The second hire was a bit of a faff as my details weren’t available from the previous weekend, I had to do all the identification stuff again. Hire rates are reasonable and it’s cheaper to book over the internet than book on the phone. A few days after returning the van I received a ‘vehicle inspection sheet’ detailing red items (potentially charged to me) some items had not been pointed out to me when I collected the van. Although the e mail states ‘ This does not mean that you will be automatically charged…’ there were no follow up emails confirming I’m was not to be charged. I found this potential liability for damage I hadn’t done, with no follow up or closure quite stressful. Apart from that, all good and U Drive are my first choice for vehicle hire in Bristol.

Very good rates really good service
Very good rates really good service. If you’re doing over 250 miles, you may have to consider a competitor as they do charge for mileage over 250. The Transit van was in excellent condition and a joy to drive. Staff were friendly and helpful. Also opening Sunday morning at 8:30 was a real bonus. The reason I haven’t given five stars is because of the cost of increased mileage over 250 and also because a report was made where it was unclear as to whether I may have to pay for damage to the vehicle until they checked the vehicle log history for previous damage. I think it would be better if they simply provide a final report rather than in an interim one that may cause concern.

Great van hire
Helpful, courteous and efficient customer service. One of the only hire companies open on a Sunday which was really helpful as I could not return the van Monday morning due to work. Good price. Thorough check of dents/scuffs etc before driving off. Would definitely use again.
