Incredibley poor experience. Please don't use this company if you have high blood pressure or like good service. Hired a van to move house, was told 3 days before delivery it was going to be late due to the last hires damage, not ideal but no ones fault. Asked to call at 10 am on the delivery day and had the misfortune of my call being answered by Dean. Rude does not even come close. Long story short, rude and unhelpful and unresponsive company. Every time I called I was told to email. This while I was needing to move furniture out of my house for a deadline. Finally got the van, asked to change pick up address, was told there was a charge for this. 8 days later they have still not collected the van. Alsoy complaint has not been acknowledged in the 7 days since lodging it.tionwidehireuk.co.uk

Hi big conn hired a van for 24 hrs ,delivered late evening in pooring rain couldn't inspect till morning .Van had numerous damage panels and scrapes took loads of photos used the van for 1 journey and pick up brought it back topped it up with fuel the they said they couldn't pick it up till the following day The girl who inspected it checked it said there was some extra marks that were not on the original inspection but we had photos she then said they had probably missed thes as there was so many . We the had a phone call 7 weeks later saying there was a question about extra damage .We then had 2 more weeks of sending photos back to them ,and then we did not here anything until we checked our Barclaycard account and they took 1200 pounds out ,without our permission so be very careful

DO NOT USE NATIONWIDE UK One star is way too many. THEY ARE NOT MEMBERS OF BVRLA the industry ombudsman. I hired a small van for 24hrs. Reservation E6EB7143. I used their delivery / collection service. I specifically chose to hire it on a Friday so it could be returned the next day, rather than pay for a whole weekend hire. They did not collect it the next day, or Sunday. They phoned to arrange pick up on Monday, which they later cancelled. They finally picked up on Tuesday. They finished by charging me over £400 for an ‘extension’ to the hire. Marcelle, apparently the only person in the company that can deal with issues, will not take calls or phone back.

On 14th September ‘21, I booked a long wheel base transit van with Nationwide for 8.30 am Mon 20th through to Friday 24th 8.30am. I explicitly explained where we were to Andrew who I spoke to on the phone and he assured me that this posed no issue for their vehicle delivery and collection service. Just a moment ago on the 17th September I was advised by a representative of said company that the van would not be available until 3.30pm on the 20th September rather than the requested 8.30am. Michelle Spears / Spiers who I spoke to was very rude when asked to explain this lack of service and miss-selling and said it was because we lived in a remote place… the point being that they knew where I lived when I made the booking in the first instance. She then proceeded to cancel my booking without my consent, was not prepared to escalate my concerns with her senior management or discuss a resolution beyond ‘take it or leave it' and then hung up on me! This has left me massively inconvenienced, out of pocket and very annoyed that they can treat customers this way and get away with such shoddy service. Avoid this company at all costs.

Never told me they were a broker and sent me a van that was too small. Had to send the van back but never got a refund so £419 out of pocket. Customer service person laughed at me when I asked for a refund and said " good luck with that "

I booked a van for moving to be delivered to an address where I was dropping off a hire car days before the delivery date. At 5pm on the day before delivery (due at 12pm) they called me and said there was a problem with delivering to the address and could I do a walk-in somewhere nearby to get the van. I said yes, that would be fine. I was told that they would email me back with details. They sent nothing that day and their phone lines were closed. The following day, nothing and all calls were met with "We'll call you back". I drove an hour and a half to drop off my hire car and pick up the van, and 15 minutes before it was due, they called me back to say they couldn't do it now and there was no availability until 10am the following day. This left me stranded with no vehicle, an hour and a half from my home in a remote location and with no way to move out. Basically, they messed up, did not seem to care at all, offered no attempt to help, no discount, no recompense; not even sympathy. I find it hard to believe that a company can get away with treating its customers like this.

Quoted for a hire including delivery and collection from our address. Spoke to them on the phone it was no issue and they took payment. A day before the hire they contact us demanding to nearly double the hire charge. They are not listening that they agreed a contract to supply a service, or that we have costs we can't recover now as a result. Crazy, possibly the worst customer service I've ever encountered.

Rented a van with NationwideHire UK, they act as a broker for other smaller rental companies. Problem is the rental companies they use are not to be trusted. They brokered a van rental from GoRentals, GoRentals took a 150£ deposit, but they not giving it back for no valid reason. NationwideHire handles the situation rather lightly, only sending emails to them, I've been chasing NationwideHire to take actions, so far they've been sending 2 emails and no news from the deposit. If you can't trust the rental companies, you can't trust the broker is doing it's job making sure rental companies are legit.
