Rented a van for a day to shift some things when moving house. Don’t usually write reviews but fantastic service from Graeme, no issues with vehicle either!

Great experience. We borrowed a car for a day in the highlands. The guy at the counter was super nice. Getting the car and returning it was problem free. The parking garage that it is located at was was a bit confusing especially when I went to return the car and entered from the bottom but besides that I would definitely recommend this place.

Stopped by Saturday for a last minute car as our plans fell thru. The staff were outstanding and got us into a car at a fair price. He even ensured that a car seat was rapidly delivered for our child. Great job and appreciate the help.
