First time using Myles Hire. DEFINITELY recommend! I needed a Luton with a tail-lift at really short notice on Bank Holiday to move some heavy family stuff. They found one no problem and even gave me a decent rate (knocked off half-a-day bcos BH) Van was clean, everything worked, check in/out were straightforward and they all seemed professional and knew what they were doing. Cheers

I've probably used Myles Hire 8-10 times over the last year without issue. A great family run business with plenty of options for vehicle hire. I've hired for both short and long journeys and in both scinarios I've been offered the most cost effective solution for me. Would highly recommend.

So easy to deal with, great service and well maintained vehicles. I was slightly late returning and got a couple of dartford crossing tickets, all very professionally and courteously dealt with by Myles Hire (my own expense and fault obviously).

I hired a transit van from Myles Hire on Saturday 16 October. I hired a small transit van which on the day wasn't available. So they upgraded it to to a larger van. They provided a 21 reg which I have to say was a pleasure to drive. I will certainly hire from them again. The hire process was simple and easy to do. Great customer service. Very satisfied customer.
