Rented a van for a day to shift some things when moving house. Don’t usually write reviews but fantastic service from Graeme, no issues with vehicle either!

Efficient location that definitely added value to my trip to Edinburgh. If you are an international driver make sure to bring your passport along with your driver's license. And book a day or two early to ensure rental availability. Location is excellent and late night drop off was easy.
