About this app

Ratings and reviews

The service in itself is great. But while on desktop searching for available car is easy as it shows a timeline graph for their availability, there's no such thing on the app. This forces the user to enter a desired time frame and hope that an available slot will appear, in a mindless trial and error exercise. This is especially grating in Cork, where only a handful of cars are available.

I was very sceptical after reading reviews from customers having difficulties with the service in general. But found myself in emergency situation and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly everything went smooth, no problems at all. Verification process was instant. After that I was able to use a cargo van straight away. Highly recommended

I had tried the app a few years ago and it wasn't great but I've used it lots recently and it's much better now - relatively easy to find and book large vans nearby. The things that can be very annoying are if the diesel is very low when you get the van and then having to drive out of your way to a particular fuel station only to discover it's actually closed. Or being instructed only to park in a specific place or risk a fine - when there's actually no reserved space in that location. etc
