Excellent customer service, with a very good fleet. I’ve been using this company for around 2years now and will not go to other hire agencies. I use their vehicles for my work. Abdul is s very friendly and competent. Definitely 5 stars.
We offer a free airport pick up and drop off service
A collision damage waiver (CDW) is provided in case you have a collision or your car suffers damage during the rental period. Essentially it means that we waive the right to charge you for damage to your rental vehicle. All our rentals include CDW as standard.
We will generally accept your booking as long as you have no more than six points on your licence. However, we do reserve the right to refuse if your endorsements are for a more serious offence.
Mileage is included in our standard daily rental. There are exclusions: rentals that exceed 21 days and also rentals where the vehicle is being taken out of the UK.
Always efficient, polite and friendly. I use this company for my regular trips down south via Gatwick airport. I have never had to wait long for a pick up or drop off. Would definitely recommend

Lots of things have changed in the UK in recent years, some things not for the best, but Gatwick Car & Van Hire still offer an excellent service with a personal touch that is unrivalled. Very happy with the service, the car and the price.

It’s the first time I have really been comfortable hiring a car. I felt as though I had known the partners for years. Each was so gently personable and relaxed, with a no fuss attitude. There was no pressure, everything was explained simply. The extra service to be picked up and dropped off at the North Terminal for a tenner each way was worth every penny - as was their offer to pre-pay (at no extra margin) the Dartford Tunnel toll - normally a habitual nightmare for me having come a cropper several times over the years since the demise of the coin throw fun.
On return, the car was checked and signed off straight away, plus they’d ordered me a taxi for the North Terminal trip as they knew only one of them would be at the business at that early time.
I am genuinely looking forward to my next Gatwick Cars & Van hire. Its a no brainer for me. I am a very happy customer! Oh and the little 2 door Fiat I hired was perfect for me! The cost of all this was less than £100 for 4 days with just a £250 deposit.
They live up to the great recommendations you are reading here. It’ so nice to be part of the Ying & Yang of good business.
Thank you so very very much chaps!
