Recent reviews
The whole experience was great. Host was flexible, prompt, and helpful. The car worked perfectly and was just what I needed for a side trip during my vacation. I would recommend this host without question.
Thanks for a great experience with ease of pick up, great communication and a great car. All round a great car hire for our first trip in Scotland.
Easy pickup, good communications. Car was very clean and great to drive. No problems, would definitely use again. Thanks.
We had an extended trip from New Zealand to Scotland and England of 128 days in the summer of 2025. What a great trip it was which was made even more special with Colin hosting us with the use of his car. We covered over 5,700 miles with a significant cost saving over an ICE vehicle. The car was excellent and a real pleasure to drive especially on long journeys. Colin presented the car on pick-up in excellent order with all cables needed for charging and a large container of windscreen wash to top up during our trip, the only regular service a Tesla needs. Colin met us at the return handover which was on opportunity for and in person chat. He is a very nice person. Any other trips we make to the UK will be via Glasgow, which we felt was better then London, and a visit to Colin to pick up a car again. Thank you again Colin and best wishes for the future.
The car was immaculate and the location was easy to find. We enjoyed using Colin's car for a trip to a convention about 340 miles away. We were impressed by the quality of the drive and the speed and cost at the charge points.
Great car, drives almost like new! Loved it. And easy/smooth logistics.
