Bought a great condition 3 door 2010 Fiesta Zetec S at a very competitive price last year, was very happy with it. (Saw the same model, similar mileage going for about 20% more at a different dealership and that's without the 1 year warranty and was in worse condition). I was skeptical about the warranty at first but I still brought my fiesta in recently after a year and 10k miles for a few issues (coolant leak, suspension spring and seatbelt warning light) and all were fixed under warranty and they did an MOT and replaced tyres cheaply. Very happy overall with the car and warranty service!

Visited car hire side of business cars are not new but very well maintained. But you do have to arrange your own insurance

Friendly staff that understands the needs of those coming to the airbase. Reasonable rates for rentals. The cars have seen some wear and tear, but that's not a bad thing for when you are first getting used to driving in the UK.

I have recently bought a ford Kuga from this company. Can't praise the salesgirl enough, it was great dealing with someone who is not pushy, and understood my concerns. Only took three days from putting deposit down to collection. Highly recommend them, great warranty too.
