What a shame. I didn't even get to book the van I needed because they failed to verify my licence and so I couldn't book. This was shoddy and disappointing as I'd heard good things.

Great 5 day electric car hire from Zimbl!

I received a great offer from Zimbl for a five day hire for £299.00. I hire cars frequently, rather than owning a car, as I only need vehicles when travelling outside of my local area and I usually hire from the more well known hire companies.
I had a guest from outside of the UK and I planned to take them around a few areas of the interesting areas around Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. On the face of it, the bigger companies seem to offer good value, but by the time you've taken optional extras and insurances into account, they're not such good value for money.
I'm using electric vehicles whenever possible these days and I really like that you can hire from Zimbl by the hour (which I haven't taken advantage of yet) and that they'll take care of the recharging for you at an extremely competitive price! I've hired electric from some of the bigger companies previously and one of the worst issues is having to spend about an hour charging the vehicle before handing it back; not convenient at all! With Zimbl, there are absolutely no extra charges or fees and the customer service has been superb.
The only mild criticism that I have is that the MG5, being an estate, is not the most exciting car to drive, but it's very roomy and easy to handle. I'm looking forward to Zimbl adding additions to their fleet and I'll definitely be hiring from them whenever I need a car in the future.

This is an amazing service

This is an amazing service. You only pay for what you need and they bring the car and collect it. Cars are clean and nice to drive too.

Excellent service

Excellent service, car was delivered to outside my house in plenty of time for my booking. Beautiful car to drive, Richard took time and care to tell me everything I needed to know. Good value for money. Highly recommend Zimbl and will definitely use again!

very easy to sign up to

very easy to sign up to, extremely convenient to book and use by the hour. You can even extend your booking in 15 minute increments if you over run. Delivered and collected from your home if in the local area and expertly explained how everything works by the knowledgeable staff. I would recommend giving it a go if thinking about vehicle rental.

Fantastic concept 100% stress free

Fantastic concept, entirely stress free and lovely motors! Cannot stress how nice it is for a hire car to come to me, as a customer. Certainly beats finding your way home from a usual rental lot. Lovely company and lovely people.

Great service Electric Car hire

Really great service - no hassle, no waiting around while people fill in paperwork - the car comes to you, and is collected from you anywhere around Banbury, got me out of a hole in very short time.

Great service for a great price!

So this is the 2nd time I've used Zimbl and the service is great. You book for them to come drop a car off at your location then collect after your booking is done (can be another location). This is cheaper than a taxi in most situations and you drive yourself so could fit more in the car too. I look forward to them having a van of sorts on their roster which means I could collect larger items instead of hiring a man with a van etc. They are EV's (Electric Vehicles) just in case that was not known.

Best-value EV hire (by the hour) made easy!

Being able to hire an EV by the hour is a massively useful service in itself - and Zimbl make it a such an easy experience! I've used them several times - the vehicles are delivered and collected from my home, they are always clean and ready-to-drive away.
They also gave an excellent introduction the first time (demonstrating features, how to charge etc.)
It is no exaggeration that having these guys available means we are no longer a 2-car household - the hourly rates are such good value, for the amount of time we need a second vehicle it's simply a no-brainer!
