He was professional, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of as I payment would go through for some reason and he patiently waited. If you’re looking for cam rental please look no further then Udrive.

I am extremely disappointed with my…
I am extremely disappointed with my experience renting a van from U Drive.
Around six weeks ago, after returning the vehicle, I was told there was a nail in one of the tyres and my deposit was put on hold. From that point onward, I received no communication whatsoever for over a month. No explanation, no inspection report, no invoice, and no confirmation of what action was being taken.
Only today, after I personally chased this up via their hotline, I was suddenly told that I would be charged £100 because the tyre had been replaced. This was the first time I was informed of any replacement or cost. I was never given the option to see evidence, approve the work, or even be notified in advance. I had to specifically request an invoice before they agreed to provide one.
I find this charge highly questionable. A nail in a tyre does not automatically justify a full tyre replacement, and even if replacement were genuinely necessary, holding a customer’s deposit for over six weeks without any update or consent is completely unacceptable. If a tyre can fail entirely due to a single nail, that raises serious concerns about vehicle maintenance to begin with.
To be clear, this is not about the £100 itself — it is about lack of transparency, poor communication, and what feels like an arbitrary post-hoc charge. This experience has left me with the impression that customers are vulnerable to unexplained deductions with little accountability.
I would strongly advise others to be cautious, document everything, and clarify tyre and damage policies very carefully before renting.
