Needed to hire a van for a few hours to clear out my mom's flat and my husband found Practical online. The staff contacted him straight away to confirm the van hire, they were brilliant face to face and treated us like people not just a number. Pick up and return was straight forward, so impressed and would recommend.

Awful customer service. Initially tried to send me off to France in a van with a huge crack on the windscreen. They eventually replaced the windscreen and still charged me a full day for rental even though I didn't take possession of the van till after 2pm in the afternoon. All requests for a half day refund have been totally ignored by the uncooperative, surly staff. In addition, the cargo area of the van was filthy and clearly hadn't been cleaned prior to rental, the cab was dirty too. Have reported the company to Trading Standards. I would avoid hiring from these cowboys if you value your safety and customer rights!!! I would give -5 stars if it were an option.
