What our HAPPY clients say
Posted on Chris HulmeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks to Melanie for organising a van for a one day move of some car parts to a new unit. The van was spot on - clean, tidy and was available as soon as I got there to collect. Glad I upgraded to the larger van as you always under estimate the amount of space you need and it saved us doing more trips back and forth. Will definitely use again :)Posted on Jason YearsleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service & value for money with friendly helpful staff highly recommended 🚐 👍Posted on Stuart LeverTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I think it’s a very good businessPosted on Sean HornbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used U Drive the other weekend and was very impressed with the whole experience from the minute I arrived in their Reception area to actually being shown the vehicle I was going to use. The vehicle was easy to drive, a smooth ride and perfect for the removal of my daughter I was doing. All this along with the value for money on top of this I have no hesitation in recommending them to others to use.Posted on James CarsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
