A1 National Van Hire Reviews

elesposito June 18, 2011
cancelled booking
A1 National cancelled my booking at short notice, and refused to pay any compensation. They claimed that they were allowed to do this under their Terms and Conditions, which don't state anything of the sort. I think that their confirmation e-mail establishes a contractual agreement, so they become liable for 'Loss of Bargain' if they subsequently cancel (Wikipedia is helpful for the legal stuff). I didn't need to test this argument though, because they paid up once I took them to court (which is easy to do yourself via Money Claim Online).

Non Return of Deposit
This company have failed to return my deposit, many phone calls later and still no results, just excuses, and given the run around, will now have to start Court action. Their Staff are obnoxious, and are full of deceiptful misleading statements, and are down right arogant, rude and condisending.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Don't use them
This company is rubbish - do not use it. I had a booking for a 17 seat minibus for 8am on 5 March 2011, which I made two weeks before. i received a phone call from them at 5.15pm the day before telling me that they did not have a vehicle available and so were going to cancel the booking. After some heated discussion they told me that they did have a 9 seat minibus available, but it would be the same price, and no negotiation was possible. they then rang me at 5.45pm to tell me that I could only have this minibus if I collected it from their depot in Wembley (and I live in SE London - right the other side!). After heated discussion they simply terminated the conversation at 6pm 'because that is when our office shuts'. They were rude at all stages of the conversation, and seemed to think that none of this was their problem! AVOID THEM!

Useless
I have just received a call to say the Luton Van I required with tail lift is no available. I explained that it has taken them a week to tell me this and I have 2 days to sort out alternative, to be told "read the email, it is an acknowledgement not a confirmation"
Funny how they called for my visa details after sending the acknowledgement!

Withholding deposit!
Deposit had been with held from us even though van was returned with no extra damage and the same level if fuel!!!

Do not pay them up front over the Internet, they have no customer service they wouldn't know what that means.

And 1000 telephone calls will get you nowhere but a big circle and extra money for their 0845 number!!

We will probably have to take them to small claims court.

It's a disgrace and they should not be trading. Thieves is too kind

TH WORST COMPANY EVER! COMPLETE SCAM!
This is the worst company that I 've ever had to deal with! I tried to book on line but had doubts about the type of vehicle that was advertised and phoned to make sure i was booking the right one. During my 5 phone calls before and after the booking every phrase ended with "bruv" and "man" (I am a woman), they couldn't give me the correct spec - it was just "this is the one you need, trust me bruv!". But it wasn't! It's good that I had a feeling that they were a bunch of wankers, so i wasn't surprised when they called 6.30pm to tell me they couldn't supply the right van (I was surprised they called though). I am bit worried that they've charged my card already, it was lucky I used a credit card - at least I could get a charge back from Mastercard! THEY ARE COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGRACE! SOMEONE SHOULD SHUT THEM DOWN!

Appaling Company!
DON'T USE THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE RUBBISH! I had a booking for a 17 seat minibus on 5 March 2011 at 8am. The booking was made two weeks before. At 5.15pm the day before they rang to tell me that they were not going to honour the booking, as the minibus had 'broken down'. After a heated discussion they agreed to provide me with a 9 seater minibus, but only at the same price. They rang again at 5.45pm to say that they were not going to deliver the minibus, but that I would have to collect it from Wembley (I live in SE London, so that is right the other side). This was because they 'didn't have a member of staff available'. We again entered heated discussion, which they terminated abruptly at 6pm because 'that is when the office shuts'. The staff that I spoke to were extremely rude, and there was not a hint of apology.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
I rented a Luton van through A1 National Van Hire to take furniture to the continent from the UK. I wish I had seen this website first. I wasn't confident driving the old banger they supplied across town, let alone across Europe. Their customer service skills were non-existent - they are to be avoided at all costs. Spread the word - they should not be in business.

unauthorised use of my bank details to obtain 200 pounds from my account
Absolute wankers ! took 200 pounds from my account without authorisation, -after i had cancelled my booking -( because i thought something wasnt quite right ) no correspondance etc etc, ... .Their employees are all thick as shit, with no skills what so ever ( should not be allowed anywhere near a telephone ) they are in danger of dribbling into the mouthpiece and electrocuting themselves, -i can only live in hope ! i am currently trying to get my money back through my banks fraudulent transactions route - still waiting, hopefully it will come good, have spoken to trading standards, and do not think its worth even writing them a letter ... if anyone has an address for an office or headoffice of these cowardly pricks i would be most grateful- i would love to meet these drivveling pieces of shit face to face and make them forcefully eject me-- but not before i collect my money and leave -- you will get whats coming to you A1 national van hire--never use this company! youve been warned...
