Enterprise Car & Van Hire - Colchester: what do users think?
joseph clark: Great customer service, highly recommend
Hope Anderson: 10/10 service from start to finish. Got given a courtesy car in such a good short time frame and they managed to fit around my work schedule and work commitment of needing a car asap. Over the phone and in person, all the employees at colchester are so warm, welcoming and have a really personal service. Lily and 2 other colleagues I can’t remember their name gave me outstanding service from being given the car to handing it back and even politely offered me a lift to my next location in colchester! Would highly recommend and definitely use this company in Colchester again when needing a courstey car.
Joy Jacob Thomas: Seamless customer service experience.
Sue Barton: I got a car from the Colchester branch, Oliver Brand served me. Great service, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks guys.
Gary Palmer: Excellent company very competitive rates friendly service, vehicle we hired was basically new low mileage will definitely use again.
Piotr Ston: Hello. I do not recommend it!!! they accept car reservations, and the next day at 4:50 pm they inform you that you can't pick up the car. and you are left with nothing. watch out for them!!!! But there was a car!!! You have taken reservations because I made a reservation over the phone. and you knew that I was paying with a debit card because I said and everything was ok and on Friday the day before picking up the car you changed your mind that it doesn't have to be a credit card!!!!! this is ridiculous. 0 stars
sean mclean: This branch stole my iPad I left it in when I returned the vehicle called the said they had it I said it will be 2 to 3 weeks when I’m back and when I returned it was gone nobody knows and the manager did nt give a xxxx
Olivia Hewitt: Paul Dines helped me during my collection and return of the vehicle. Really lovely service, and answered any questions I had. I hadn’t ever hired a car before; Paul made the whole process really quick and simple for me.

Maxine Cook: Good service from Enterprise.Paul and Valerie were both very helpful and friendly. Valerie drove me home after I dropped off my rental car.Excellent service
Alyssa Rock: From start to Finish, Alex, couldn't have been more polite and helpful. It was our first time hiring a car. We needed to hire a car as we had a long journey to make and our car was in the garage.Alex made sure we had the best experience. The car was clean, in great condition and most importantly we felt very safe driving the car. He answered every question we had and showed us all the features in the car before we set off, and reassured us that we can call if we had any further questions whilst on the roadReturning the car was very easy. The full deposit will be refunded. We recommend hiring a car with them, the overall experience was great and stress free.10/10

Thrifty Car and Van Rental Colchester: what do users think?
Angie Briley: Absolutely furious. More or less accused of stealing the hire car!! We had a hire car while ours was being repaired. When repaired the garage brought our car back and took the hire car away to be returned. Just got a call from the Branch Manager in Thrifty Colchester more or less accusing us of stealing the car. He was extremely rude and was demanding to know the mileage. I stated that we wasn't asked to record this, all we needed to do was put petrolback in that we'd used.
Clara (Mummy peanut): Friendly fast service. I kept in touch the whole time about the vehicle hire as the insurance didn't.Only had one problem. I wasn't listened too, about the size of the vehicle I needed. Meant to be like for like I was told by insurance.However the car was much smaller. When I needed a good size boot for work and the fact I needed to fit a stroller in. Which wouldn't fit. (Stuck at home with a toddler for nearly 3 weeks) Also asked for a manual not automatic.The car was new and did however enjoy the car.
Christopher Hills: If you need a car or a van in a hurry .try them out very competitive
clive wyatt: Very helpful.
Roro La Velle: Their booking process is based on a 'request' which means nothing more than 'we'll ring you to confirm, maybe.' I booked 2 weeks go and went to collect the car assuming I had a reservation. I was dismissed at the counter with 'that's not a booking. It's a request.' In other words, a worthless commitment to provide a service that has left me scrambling to find an alternative.Avoid Thrifty and go to Enterprise. Great service that saved the day.
eileen ashley: Only waited for a train so did not see much
K 13u: Efficient check in for the car which is new, clean and tidy. Easy to find and convenient location to the station.Melvin was super helpful and full credit to him for his excellent customer service
Steven Ramsden: Helpfu
W O: Very efficient check-in and check-out, very helpful staff, would definitely recommend!
T L: Fantastic service and reasonably priced!
David Ellwood: We booked a hire car for 4 days with a baby seat online. The only thing is that they don't have any baby seats at all but they don't tell you until you pickup the car.
Michael Riley: Best price locally and top class service. Thanks Thrifty!
Sacha Clarke: ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE. Unreasonable requests and then still made to feel like a criminal by a smarmy gent on the front desk.... Customer service is so bad compared to year ago. When presented with drivers licence they telephoned DVLA to check it, experian check and then asked for national insurance number!!!!????? Given it is a hire car company which advertises at airports how do you expect tourist to have that when hiring on holiday????? GUESS THEY CAN'T HIRE A CAR!! I have family visit from overseas all the time and will never again recommend this company. Bad bad bad
Stephen Mckenzie: Punctual. Helpfull and very professional.
Colin Williams: Highly recommend, great cars good rates. Friendly helpful staff.
noelene straker: Incredible ripoff. venue is located off a buslane with camera they will charge you L42 for processing a fine hire cars are exempt from. Get you coming and going with absolutely no warning signs or information for customers. Be aware your rental will be L84 more than you expected. Business plan seeems to be to maximise revenue by charging processing fines.
MK.O: the greatest experience ever
Zuyuan Zhu: Be careful with their INSURANCE policy!!! We confirmed twice with Thrifty agent that we bought a full insurance that covers everything! The agent sold "Risk Reduce: Glass&Tyre cover" to us, charging 12£/day. Besides, we paid 14£/day for reducing maximum penalty from 1000£ to 250£. So, we paid 26£/day for the insurance. But, when we returned the car at Edinburgh, Thrifty charged us another 203£ for slightly damaging ( some scratches) the two hub of wheels! Anyway, we bought an insurance that covers tyre, but the agent in Edinburgh told us it only covers the tyre, the hub of the wheel is not covered! What's worse, their attitude was extremely rude, kept pushing us to sign the penalty! It's obvious that one of their agents must be a liar! We were fooled by Thrifty! They are the shame of GREAT Britain!
Barbara Grimsley: This company always rents to me, a non resident from Australia and the service is excellent. They do ask for proper identity, etc. of course.
Deb io: A* service.. friendly & professional staff who extended my rental two to three times as I requested with out hassle or any problems with which I was more than thankful to them for.. will definitely be going to hire again from Colchester.
Tracey Merrill: Very easy process & lovely staff.

Robertson: what do users think?
Samet Gilgil: Very rude not helpful would not use them again
Phil Hughes: A brilliant, cost effective, local service.I needed to hire a car for a drive to North Lancashire and back, having lost faith in my own vehicle.For the price Robertsons charge, compared to the famous franchised national and international brands, I was expecting a much older vehicle. I was very pleasantly surprised to be greeted with a year old Hyundai i20 with less than 20k on the clock.The car was a little dream - so much so that I want one.The service was so easy, very friendly, comprehensively explained and won't be beaten on price.I cannot recommend highly enough.
Nathan: Very friendly staff and easy to hire a van. Only thing that let it down was the age of the van, very old with no parking sensors / AC / USB etc.
batman. robin: Picked up truck with no problems from office staff.Shown around the vehicle and shown how to work the controls in a relaxed and friendly manner.Returned truck and got the invoice the next day .Very professional all round, highly recommend.
Paint in & out: Old vans but price is ok
Rahul K: Friendly staff and the hire and return was hassle free. Deposit was returned quickly. Will definitely hire again in the future
Richard Twydell: Easy and quick to pick up your vehicle. Vehicles in good condition. Not much else to say.
Louisa G: Brilliant all round. Needed a 7 seater last minute and was sorted over the phone easily. Customer service staff are friendly and helpful and explained everything perfectly. Was easy to collect and drop off out of hours, very good price and gorgeous car. Also staff were brilliant when the kids managed to leave a set of airpods in the car and they hunted for them. Absolutely recommend this company 100% and will use again when needed.
Steve Honest: Good van rentals , fair pricing and straight forward service .
Ross Francis: Very happy with my experience, was able to hire a van at short notice, it was an easy process to collect, van was full of diesel and had been cleaned upon my arrival. Competitively price and service with a smile. Im a huge fan or supporting local business, especially when they go the extra mile.
Jose Medina: Very good services for car hire in Colchester. Child seats available, easy to rental, good prices and very kind personnel
Darwin Seal: I rented a car from these guys for 3 weeks in August 2022. The booking process was made easy by the fantastic help I received from Zoe. I was expecting an older Peugeot 208 but received a 2021 Clio which was great and averaged nearly 80mpg. I accidentally opened the door onto a post and caused a small chip and tiny dent. I was expecting a major drama when I pointed out the damage when I returned the car at the end of the hire. However this was not the case and I was treated very fairly. Thank you for a great experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend your company.
Joshua Wood: Very cheap prices for Van hire they also do Armed Force’s discount.!!!!
Allison Gray: Very reasonable price and decent van. Only negative would be not being told until the day that you cannot leave your own vehicle on their premises whilst you hire their van. This means you have to leave your car in the road on a busy main road. Would hire again.
Gwendolyn kinzett: First time hiring a minibus, the people were friendly, explained everything to us, so it was an easy process of picking up and dropping off. On their website if you have any queries, you get a quick reply as I found out. Cheaper then I thought it was going to be to hire for a 9 seater. Would hire again.
Bruno N: I would have scored higher as the service and van was very good, however, there is a bit of a fuel scam going on. I returned the van full to the brim yet was charged for an extra 6 litres of fuel. Robertson's also add £1 a litre on top of retail price.When filling at Asda I filled til the trigger clicked, and then tried to add more as advised by the desk staff. The result was a blowback and a diesel puddle on Asda forecourt.I queried Robertson's and asked how they fill up, and apparently they use a low pressure pump that doesn't foam up the fuel. You and I Joe public don't have access to such facilities, but Robertson's advise waiting a few minutes for the foam to settle, then fill again. Can you imagine doing this with irate customers queueing behind you?I think Robertson's should start filling up at petrol station so they are on the same page as the customers.This is a typical example of modern England whereby customers are constantly having to watch their back for devious business schemes.
Mark Curtis: Hired a small transit connect van. Long story short I had a couple of unexpected problems but the staff here were very helpful and resolved my issue with no fuss. A+ customer service
mrford transit: Grand. Website
Gary Ellis: Cheap van rental
Paul Gray: Excellent customer service offered
Adrian Scotcher: Great service and nice to have local rather than colchester.Van checker/Booker excellent.Garage that it's based are helpful.Only lost a star as central locking didnt work (was told) and radio was stuck on essex fm and at set volume, deposit was 2 days after booking, which was fine.Keep it up

CYC Rapid Colchester FC Charging Station: what do users think?
Jonas van Gelder: Don't waste your time going here, it's unreachable and out of service as others said.
ExDee “The Player Of Games” Wobblum: British Petroleum took over the charger and are leaving it to rot because it's one of the many free chargers they received from the UK Government scheme to start the UK charger network. Right now they're renovating the football stadium as well.It can charge AC and DC separately at the same time?! Here we are charging a 43kW Zoe and a Leaf at once from the same post, rare now-days
Bilal Khan: Doesnt work. What a joke!
Ian Blackford: It No Longer Works as of Friday 10th Jan

Paul Chamberlain: Car park is a joke avoid at all cost. Even if you pay your parking either cash or on the phone you will still get a fine and no option to appeal. Its cheaper to park on the High Street and get a parking ticket!
