Been using First Self Drive for 4 years. Alway efficient and eager to assist in anyway they can.
Rates are good and service exceptional.
Used to use Enterprise car hire, who had very good customer service, but First Drive is as good, if not better and rate considerably better.

Excellent customer service, above and beyond.
Cannot thank First Self Drive enough. I was let down by Enterprise 12 hours before I was due to move house. Contacted First Self Drive and was offered a choice between two vans for my move for the next morning. Customer service was excellent with everybody taking the time to explain everything thoroughly so you felt your booking mattered. And it was clear that a lot of the people in the office that day were repeat customers which says it all.
I was nervous not having driven a large van before but I was taken through everything thoroughly and so felt very reassured by the time I took the keys.
Would not hesitate to recommend First Self Drive to anyone needing to hire a vehicle and would not now go anywhere else myself.
A huge thank you to everyone for helping to make my house move come off.

Absolutely amazing service
Absolutely amazing service!
First majorly helped out my mum and I. My mum was due to move house on Saturday and a different van rental company cancelled our van at 10 to 6 the night before!
John was able to get us a van on the Saturday morning. Thanks to him, my mum was able to move into her new home for Christmas, which is priceless. Nothing was too much trouble. We are so unbelievably grateful and would highly recommend!
