Abacus Vehicle Hire

I have used Abacus for many, many years and have never been disappointed, they have vehicles at very short notice and are incredibly helpful. The latest time my vehicle broke down, got a taxi to them and the vehicle was being cleaned, then ready to go to collect the kids from school. Hats off to these guys they are fantastic.

Hartleys Events

Dear abacus vehicle hire, On Saturday 26th August 23, my wife and I hired a vehicle from your company. Unfortunately, I completely got my details wrong and asked for the wrong day actually needing the hire for the Sunday, the 27th Aug 23. Realising my mistake (a few hours later) I contacted the team in Andover. Alan the original operative took the issue in hand and got to work on the situation using extremely polite and reassuring language, this made me feel I was in good hands. The following day I returned to the Andover branch and actually spoke with Alan, again reassuring, calm and extremely helpful. This made the whole day a lot easier and enabled me to plan the rest of the event without any need to worry. Alan then gave a comprehensive and detailed brief on the documentation and then familiarising me with the vehicle, to ensure I was happy and content to be on my way. Just to put this into perspective, I work in an organisation with approximately five hundred people in my particular region, with three area managers, sixteen site manager, thirty-six supervisors and the rest are good hard-working staff. I personally know; what good looks like. As the lead officer and line managing those people, I can assure you Alan's engagement profile would be in my top ten employees, showing excellent customer service, attention to detail with a very professional front of house presences. Please thank Alan for his slick professional engagement and demeanour. He is a credit to himself and abacus service delivery. I will be back and I am spreading the word on this excellent level of service.

Derek Halford

Great experience, the reception staff were very helpful and polite. The whole process was smooth and uncomplicated.

Wayne

The folks at abacus are great. They are friendly, professional and efficient. Communication is great. Just the right amount. Highly reccomended. For the Ferndown depot do watch where you park. Their neighbours are not so friendly and will fine you if you park in the wrong spot. Check the marked spaces. Once you are past the first speed bump you should be OK.

Alan Ball

Abacus are a brilliant hire company. We have our own fleet but regularly need to bolster with additional vehicles, we only use Abacus. No fuss, good pricing, reliable vehicles and a full range of Commercials that work for every job!

Chris Wellington

Staff were very polite and helpful. We very able to park our car close to office for the day. Highly recommend.

Just wanted to say a big thankyou to the team at ABACUS for great service. Especially, Hazel and Lisa. Really pleasant people and keen to help. The quality of the hire vehicle was exceptional. WILL DEFINATELY BE USING YOU AGAIN.

Darren Parker

Very friendly staff with the amount of work they had they were very professional.

Hefin Richards

Fantastic service! we needed a van at short notice for a day trip to the North East to collect items that would not have fitted in the car. Website was clear and precise with pricing, on arrival staff were very friendly, helpful and went the extra mile checking over the van knowing we had many miles to cover in a day. Added bonus of pick up the night before and drop off after hours worked for us as it enabled us to be on the road in the early hours and return the van after closing. As for cost, I anticipated van hire was more expensive than it was! Thanks Abacus for an easy pleasant transaction with a local great company.

Steve Blick

I have been using Abacus rental cars for the past 3yrs on and off for mainly long term rentals (months at a time). I was previously renting from a big rental company who were expensive, had terrible customer service and had absolutely no loyalty to a customer who travels alot and rents from them worldwide. Then I found Abacus. Their customer service is faultless in my opinion (very unusual for the UK). Friendly, helpful staff and clean, well maintained cars. Their process is seamless and they were always great about extending my rental periods at the last minute. Definitely better to support local businesses as they tend to care a lot more about the customer and the quality of their product/service.

Zoe B

Amazing service needed a van with taillift last minute. Everything was seamless all of the staff were exceptional friendly and professional. Jaie who served was lovely too . Would definitely recommend Abacus vehicle hire and will use them again the van we hired was good quality and nearly new too. We'll done guys .

Massive thank you to the Abacus team for helping us recently. Our Van broke down enroute to an important event . We abandoned it at a local garage ( who were also incredibly helpful) Abacus managed to produce a hire van within an hour allowing us to continue our journey plus the dog to Crufts. Thank you so much for help us and being so reasonably priced. It’s so refreshing in these difficult times to suddenly get such lovely customer service out if the blue … brilliant!

Excellent service. They got me out of a sticky situation after being let down by another company. The ability to drop off OOH is a massive perk and helps to keep costs down.

Highly recommend and would use again if needed. Thank you

I am moving to Spain in less than a week, and struggled to find a company that was fair price and decent. The guys-Mark and Allan working there went over and above in patience with me. I only did not rent with them as they were to far away for me but customer service was superb. Just had to say as all credit due to those two guys and that should be shared

Henriette Hanson

Good value, friendly, accommodating. The web site is informative and the staff make it all very easy. There’s a good range of vehicles on offer and you don’t feel they’re trying to catch you out the way that some other rental companies might.

Two of your staff came to her aid, and got her back on the road. I am extremely grateful for their help, you have some excellent people working for you. A true credit to your company Thank you Gentlemen.

Andrew Coates

Abacus are fabulous! I can't rate these guys highly enough. I've used nearly all the range of vehicles they have and they are always clean, tidy and of the best quality spec. If they don't have the particular vehicle requested they will do whatever they can to provide an alternative. Thank you Abacus for all your help.

Joanne Bevis

Excellent service, very friendly staff, excellent condition cars and very COVID 19 safe. The best prices around and I would definitely recommend both locations at Andover, and Ferndown. I will use them even if I lived up north.

2 vehicles in 2 weeks, both times the office staff were excellent, perfect balance between friendly and professional. Vehicles ready to go and just as ordered, and the facility to return vehicle out of hours is brilliant. Will be back as soon as I need another hire vehicle. There is a reason they have been in business so long and come highly recommended by my work mates, they are great at what they do!

Richard Davies

Good service and quality vehicle supplied

Scott Daniels

Cheap, good vans, friendly

Matt Slater

Good, hassle-free overnight van rental. Had a decent VW Transporter in red. Friendly staff and good at doing their own vehicle condition check with you before you leave. As mentioned when dropping off the keys, please try to keep the greasy dashboard cleaner away from the pedals and driver footwell... whilst it's great for that area to be clean, it doesn't need to be shiny and slippy! Thanks again.

Toby D

Excellent service from the team

Mark Allen

Absolutely fantastic service, great prices and friendly staff. I will definitely recommend them to anyone.

Tracy Robinson

VERY nice people and professional services

Vehicles are all looked after, any issues with a vehicle it’s been swapped or sorted very quickly. Friendly staff 24/7 that go above and beyond. Special thanks to Jaie for always looking after me.
