Sharks
I paid my £100 deposit, but only received £70 back. I was told that "scratches" had appeared on the vehicle in the 3 hours that I had it. They hadn't. I sent them 2 emails 7 days apart and they didn't have the courtesy to reply to either of them. I have subsequently discovered that I am not alone in falling foul of this sharp practice. They need to learn that ripping their customers off is not a good business model.

Hello Mr Salt,
Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our service.
For clarification, our customer service team have contacted yourself with our response email (originally sent to yourself on March 11th), explaining the reason for your retained deposit. It is possible that this message may have been filtered into your junk folder and therefore missed.
We sincerely apologise for any misunderstanding. To confirm, your deposit was not retained due to damage, but due to a fuel discrepancy. This is in line with our like for like fuel policy, which is clearly displayed in our branch and communicated at the time of vehicle collection.
If you have any further questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards,
U-Drive Customer Service
Came through when others cancelled!
Had two different rental companies cancel my van the week and day of house move, U-drive went above and beyond to get a van ready for me with less than an hour's notice.
Achia was brilliant, explained everything I needed and got me on the road as quickly as possible!

We had been left dangling after Enterprise let us down for a pre-booked hire, the night before the hire. We tried Europcar but they couldn't provide a vehicle. We then contacted U-Drive and all our worried vanished. The van we hired was perfect for our needs, and Asha, who processed our booking could not have better. We are now converts to U-DRIVE and will definitely use them in the future.

Great experience
The booking process was easy and helpful and all necessary information was provided. The phone was answered quickly too! Upon collection, Ty was very friendly, completed the adminstration efficiently and explained all we needed to know. The van itself was ideal for purpose and in pristine condition. Could have done with a little more support with instructions on using a hybrid electric as unfamiliar with it. Maybe an email or text with basic instructions would have been helpful and reassuring, but this is probably just me being out of date! Overall great experience and would recommend.

I hired a van from the Southampton branch. The whole process from booking online to collecting in person was incredibly simple and straightforward. I was served by Euan who explained every detail of the hire process clearly and professionally.
The van was well presented and great to drive. I received copies of the inspection sheets at both the start and end of my hire, which were also concise and easy to understand.
I will definitely use U-Drive again.

U-Drive with Callum!
First time using U-Drive, expecting renting a car to be a difficult process, and they couldn't have made it easier. Callum in Poole has sorted my friend and I out with a van, he was positive, friendly, and helpful, and helped to sort out some issues whilst on the road as well! Callum is an asset to your team.

Great, stress-free van hire experience
I had a great experience with U-Drive and would happily use them again.
The booking process was easy to complete online. After booking, I called with a couple of questions and the staff were friendly, helpful, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Picking the van up on Saturday morning was straightforward, and the staff were professional and easy to deal with.
The van itself was excellent. It was a Volkswagen long wheel base, very clean, comfortable, and easy to drive. Returning the van on Sunday morning was simple and stress-free, which I really appreciated as I needed it for a full 24 hours and was initially a bit worried about the return timing.
I did go over the daily mileage allowance, but this had all been explained clearly beforehand. The additional charge was very reasonable and was simply deducted from the deposit with no issues.
Overall, a smooth and hassle-free experience with great customer service throughout. Highly recommended.

Ty made my experience great
Ty made my experience great - he was friendly with the admin at the outset, and a cheery presence throughout the pick up. When I returned the excellent van on a bitterly cold morning, my car wouldn’t start and he jumped started it using his own car despite having other things to do - Ty is a legend.
The reason I give 4 is because I later received an email claiming that I had created a scratch on the van - but this was a clearly obvious damage from the off; the guy who did the initial sign out check didn’t raise it so I assumed it was logged as pre-existing. Have contacted U-drive to raise this and would expect there to be no further action. But it is worth it to raise clear damage for them to acknowledge in similar circumstances.
Anyhow, respect to Ty!
