Apr 20,2023I booked a van by phone. I was told the cost would be £120. I was asked to pay the charge upfront which I was okay with but Kenhire took £320 from my account without telling me. When I found out I called them thinking I must have misheard the price but it turns out they had taken a £200 deposit without telling me about it. I was really upset about this but they did not seem to be phased by it at all. They were very matter of fact about having taken an unauthorised payment. I cancelled my van and will not be going back to them.

Jul 15,2022Great price! Super friendly team and the van was cleaned exceptionally well. Asked Kenhire to refuel after use as at the time of returning it was cheaper than the garage. No problems at all and would highly recommend.0

Jan 07,2025Where to start? I requested a hybrid car so that I could test it out on a long run and around town. I am thinking of buying one so quite important. Unknown to me when I picked up the car, it was not a hybrid but a petrol. Once I got on a motorway and tried to find the hybrid details, I then realised that it was petrol. Too late by this time to return the car. Then I realised that the parcel shelf was missing. Then down a country lane I put the high beam on and they pointed up into the trees, so very dangerous. I called Kenhire, who confirmed that it was not a hybrid, but then asked me to check if it had a battery in the boot, just to confirm that it was not a hybrid! I was on the motorway so not a chance. Anyway, it was obvious by this time that it was not a hybrid. So, waste of money hiring a car. When talking with a young lady during journey about the light problem, there was no apology, just to call the breakdown service. When I returned the car, I was given a refund of £51, even though I paid £215 hire charge and I paid over £80 in unnecessary petrol costs. Not a great experience, so I can't in all honesty recommend Kenhire. A lot more to this hire, but I'm running out of patience.
