Hotsons is the main minibus hire company used by local university clubs and societies. It's got a…read moregood range of decent quality minibuses from 7 seats to giant 17 seaters. You can also get vans, trucks and cars, which could be a worthwhile alternative to bringing a car to Oxford, considering the parking difficulties in the city centre. The club I'm in always hires the 17-seaters and they're all front-facing seats and good quality. They come clean and in good condition. You can also drop them off any time at night, which removes all time pressure from the hiring process. However, I've got quite a few gripes with Hotsons' service: Not very polite telephone service - customer service doesn't seem to be a strong point. Very difficult to change/cancel bookings - they seem to change their mind about how far in advance you need to do this. Location - they're outside the ring road, which is a pain if you're cycling to get there. I recommend the number 10 bus from Queen Street, which stops on Horspath Road. Minibuses - not all of them have a CD player, which seems rather tight these days, and is a pain on long journeys. One last word of warning: we once got a flat tyre and the spare was the wrong size, meaning we had to wait hours in the middle of the night for the AA to come out and rescue us. In conclusion then, they're worth using and there's not much competition in the area, but it doesn't feel like a great experience.

Their depot in Oxford is located quite close to the city centre, you can get to it with only a short bus ride and a few minutes walk from the city centre (take the 13 or X13 bus). Their rates are quite competitive and they have a variety of card and even vans for you to choose.

Took a chance with the Bracknell Enterprise office, after reading good reviews elsewhere online and was so glad I did. 45 min scenic Uber drive, no queues, friendly & attentive staff that listened to my concerns, great selection of cars that were new and clean, no airport tax and I didn't have to deal with airport traffic when leaving. I won't hesitate to use these guys again.

Reasonably priced for quality work. If they need the car for a x amount of time, you can use one of their loan cars (nothing to get excited about though, its a just a few bangers that will get you from A to B, but still, not many mechnics will offer that service. Highly reccomend. They also have the Practical Van Hire franchise, with a good selection of SWB and LWB vans and reasonable prices. Have used this service twice now with absolutely no problems.

When illness prevented me from being able to take the car in, they very kindly collected and returned the car to me. First class service from a pleasant caring team.

should be no stars. absolutely appalling service, car was sub rented via Ford rental when my car…read morewas in for warranty repairs and thank god Ford gave me a link to do a damage report Ford rental because prior to taking the vehicle I noticed the tyre cut on the drivers front wheel, which Is what I'm being charge for, the assistant manager advised it's not big enough to be a cut for our policy so wasn't noted on damaged report their side. only to get a phone call 2 days later trying to charge me for the same cut tyre. images were provided before I took the vehicle and after I gave it back. To add even more lies from the rental, the car was cleaned the Saturday before I took it and it was absolutely filthy. didn't offer another car or to even clean it, I had to agree to take it in the stat it was in as that was the only car available at the time so I did with grime all over the car and old wrappers and chocolate mashed into the carpet. to top it off the assistant manager call me that same evening of collecting the car and begged and I mean begged for me to put a good review in for him so he could get into the head office and over see operations, would trust this bloke with a thing. this is still an ongoing issue. play silly games, win silly prizes
