We hired the 4 berth VW van over the Summer, which was in immaculate condition. The customer service was fantastic, pick up and drop off was easy and hassle free. We had a brilliant family holiday in it, taking in all the sights of the highlands. It was also super economical. We will 100% be hiring from 5th gear again. Thanks!

Hired a 6 berth motorhome for our summer holiday and had great service from start to finish. Smooth booking process, great handover on the day of collection with lots of detail and handy tips. The motorhome was spotless and nearly new which was really comfortable and a home from home on our journey around the UK. Thanks to the team, Gillian, Francis and Paul 👍🏼👍🏼

The Mechanic staff are nice. The office staff could do with a lesson in how to smile or even to please approach customers who are waiting. Despite that, I would always go there, quick(ish) service and fair prices.

The 5th Gear hire process was very easy from the initial call to Gillian in customer services right through to returning the vehicle. Gillian recommended the use of the Luton with tail lift. This made the moving process so much earlier and faster. The vehicle was ready for me to collect at the time agreed, it was clean and in great condition. I received an excellent service and competitive rates from 5th Gear and would highly recommend them. Thank you 5th Gear look forward to hiring again soon

The team provide an excellent, prompt service and are very accommodating. I'll definitely be a returning customer. Hiring both the 3.5tonne horse box hire and camper van for trade and equestrian shows.

We have used 5th gear for a good few years for my husbands courier business. The team are fantastic and go out of their way to help when we need to hire at short notice. Cant reccomend enough.

We hired one of the Horse boxes for a show as our horse is very difficult to load and the option to self hire a 3.5 tonne box for the day was a blessing and meant no rushing horse on or off. The horse box was complete luxury from the internal and external cameras so you can watch your horse full journey from dashboard screen. Lovely to drive and full leather interior, large jockey box at back to change in, loads of storage, side loader, air con and more! The list is endless. To top it all we transported 2 large 17HH horses with complete ease and didn’t even need to power wash or clean it all

Got a £5K 4x4 from these guys deciding not to take out a 6 month warranty to save money. Clutch was changed by them before pick up despite me not even noticing any clutch slip on the test drive! A week later had a problem with the propshaft which they repaired free of charge while giving me a courtesy car. Airbag sensor had come on in this time so they replaced and a sensor also. Way more conscientious than most other dealers I have experienced in the past and will use again.
