      I think the brief mention on here was good?

      About time we had a decent rental company.

      Edit: Thrifty rebrand, like Hermes became EVRI! Oh well at least it won’t get any worse than it was hopefully!

        I was going to say who are Switch then seen the photo of one of their vans and remembered I seen one of their vans the other day and thought it was just another broadband or energy company canvassing for folk to changed their provider.

          Wonder if they’ll take payments for fuel off credit cards even when cars are returned with fuel at exactly the same level. 🤔

            Hi jojo22

            I wonder if anyone seen the irony of the BMW in the photo on motaclarity site because we disabled folk aren’t allowed this type of car any more by order of the char lady at number 11.

                All the big car hire firms are slated on Trustpilot, although one star is pretty dire – Europcar managed 1.6 , Enterprise 1.7, Hertz 1.3…

                I have only needed Motability car hire once, a Quashqai back in 2018. Was pretty flawless, apart from them categorically stating on delivery no dogs in the car….the disabled user who is on the Motability lease is blind with a guide dog…couldn’t make it up…

                I said dogs going in the car, anything less is full on disability discrimination. Never heard anything more about it.

                    Absolutely. People only go on Trustpilot to moan usually.

                      In fairness, it does say now that they don’t allow dogs, but they do allow service dogs so long as the car is returned in good condition.
                      I wouldn’t risk my white Labrador going in it though, she’d write it off with her fur shedding.

                        I’ve used europcar twice because the Ariya was in and out the dealers  and was brilliant. Is the ban on dogs a new thing ?

                          How long do you get a “hire” car for ? is it for as long as needs be…say months while your car is being repaired or is there a limit…..and what happens when your hire car time is up.

                            3 months is the maximum time that it’s booked out for in circumstances such as finding a new car in the event of a scheme vehicle rejection or a write-off, that gives you 3 months to order and collect your new car.
                            Otherwise it’s until your scheme vehicle has been repaired. You get 24 hours to return the car when yours has been fixed by the dealer otherwise the insurance will be cancelled and they’ll come and fetch it within three working days in theory. I say in theory because it took Europcar over a month to even realise that I’d dropped a VW Golf back at the dealer in March before they came and fetched it.

                            Waiting times are subject to how competent the delivery teams are, within three days is the standard, but it can be several weeks if you’ve requested anything bigger than a Corsa, or if it’s automatic or is an “SUV” etc etc. I’m due to use Switch for my car next week, so I’ll report back with my experience.

                                @H.K_R   my neighbour had an accident yesterday and within a few hours Switch rocked up to the home address with a Jaecoo Phev.
