Driver testimonial
“Really nice lad kind and patient and looks after the cars properly, the garages are spot on too and very professional. Highly recommended!”
Driver testimonial
“Needed a short-term car rental due to my car being written off. Phoned around a few places and the majority of people wanted 3 months minimum, which I didn’t need. Aaron was accommodating with my needs (week to week rental and the date I required it from) and supplied me with an immaculate Skoda Octavia, which had just been plated. Drove the car for 5 weeks without issue, but from what I know of Aaron any issues would have sorted. Queries on texts were answered promptly. £200 bond was needed but this was returned at the end of the rental with no issue. If I ever need a rental again - RedKite would be my first port of call. Can’t recommend enough.”
Driver testimonial
“Needed a car for month, Aaron at Red Kite sorted me a clean maintained plated vehicle the following day with no stress or complications. Highly recommend these guys.”
