I was let down by another provider for a hire van so booked one with practical the same day, picked it up 30 mins later. I just want to say the guy at reception (I didn't catch his name) was a credit to the company. Very welcoming and really helped me out when I was stressing out about getting a van for work. but genuinely his customer service was top notch. If I ever need a hire van again I will 100% be using practical again. Thank you. More...

We rented a Dormobile Van at Practical Car & Van Rental. The Van was great and the owner, Paul, was very helpful. Making a trip through Scotland: choose Practical Car & Van Rental!

Under new mgt, I rented a car in early Sept23 - impressed by customer service & effort by Paul and his team. The car I'd hired had been damaged by previous driver so I was upgraded to new Mazda3. Patiently shown how to use all the features with good advice given about CDW. Delayed on return, but no hidden charges for a late return and was even driven down to railway station to not miss train. What's not to love about this small new business? It's a new business here so don't let old comments put you off. More...

A little 'back street' in terms of location but well worth checking out. Very competitive hire rates and flexible in their approach. Van was clean and fresh and ran like a dream. Will definitely use Practical again. More...

Please DO NOT hire a vehicle from these people!! U will be conned way above and beyond for charges that u shouldn't be paying. Myself and my husband hired a van which cost £99. When we hired the rain was heavy and they quickly showed us round the van. On returning it they pointed to a dent on the top which must have bn there as we only moved some boxes a few miles between addresses and had no problems. Final cost in charges on top of £99 £985 which was taken from account! Pls stay away and save yourselves a lot of money! These guys shud be wearing masks! More...

Love using these guys. Long term, short term, even short notice they always accommodate us. Vans are clean and in excellent condition. All new or nearly new. Staff have a personal touch and look after regular clients. Surprisingly cheap too. An all round excellent package. More...

I would advise against using this van hire. Illegally charged balance against credit card on file for a disputed balance - now having to pursue legal action to correct this. As such, I would recommend avoiding this place. More...

Wrongly charged for damages! I was charged £545 for this damage. I offered to find a mechanic to get other quotes (before any work was done) but they only work with the 1 quote that they give you from their chosen mechanic. Really bad experience as a customer. Ps: read the next most recent review to see that I am not the only customer with this bad experience. More...

Flawless rental: great van, friendly staff, no hassle. Handing the van back, the chap offered to give me a lift to the nearest train station out of the kindness of his heart.

Hired a van on 30th September the rain was lashing down, on being shown around the van for previous scratches and dents the guy admitted that they couldn't be seen because of the rain. Low and behold return it the next day and the first place he goes and looks was the top rear of the van to point out 2 dents. I will be on to my solicitor first thing on Monday. More...

Had a reservation for months to rent for an overseas trip. Get an email the day before we leave and they canceled the reservation with no explanation. I had read reviews on this site and figured I was safe. I know now to stay with large international rental agencies More...

If you want to be ripped of hire a car from these people. We got charged for damage that we didn't do.(Edit) Thanks for your reply after 3years! !, we had come up by coach over night and was absolutely shattered when we arrived. We were quickly shown around the outside of the car only and loaded our luggage and went off to get to our accommodation ASAP. Me, my wife and 2 children (who were 3 & 5 at the time) do not smoke and have never smoked it is illegal to smoke in a confined space with children present and we do not let our children play with lighters or matches or anything else that sparks. The burn in question I seem to reminder was very small in the front centre of the rear seat. I really do feel strongly we were ripped of by Practical Car Hire in Glasgow, my review still stands.

Very poor service. Very happy to welcome you in and see you go...... BUTWhen you return they have fast look over the rented vehicle and then good to leave, They have kept your credit card details and then call wanting cash for hidden charges that arent on the agreement. Try to avoid they just con you and see you like a money maker but its a franchise after all. More...

I needed a vehicle at short notice and was extremely happy with both the customer service and the emaculate condition of the vehicle. The car was spotless and there was no damage anywhere. The staff were more than welcoming and ensured I received exactly what I requested at a fraction of the price I have previously paid elsewhere. Will definitely be back next time I need a car... Highly recommended!! More...
