Driver Hire Nationwide Avis 

Been registered with Bridgwater branch and I’ve applied for numerous jobs suitable for myself and never get a reply so can’t understand why there so ignorant so I’ll never waste my time with them again useless

I was given a great sales pitch over the phone back in May this year and they were very quick to take full payment (£1,850) to secure the course. Unfortunately, once the course began, the experience was completely different.

The organisation was shambolic. My start times were changed at the last minute, despite me arranging my diary around the original schedule. There was very little communication about what I would actually be doing each day. All I received was a daily start time showing four hours of training, with no explanation of the training plan or progression. I was even given test times before I had actually been booked in, and my test appeared to be scheduled for the final day without any clear communication.

The training itself was delivered by a different company, which was never made clear beforehand. The training yard also did not resemble a real test centre, making it difficult to properly prepare. There were numerous other trucks and cars parked around the site, and I even had to wait for a car to be moved while practising a coupling manoeuvre, wasting valuable training time.

The environment was also unsuitable. The yard consisted of loose road planings rather than proper tarmac, creating excessive dust. Anyone with asthma or other respiratory conditions should be aware that the dust can cause significant coughing and discomfort. During training I found myself coughing repeatedly and feeling dizzy because of the conditions.

The vehicle itself was missing a kingpin cover and safety clip. Rather than rectifying the issue, I was simply told to “pretend it’s there,” which is hardly acceptable when you’re paying for professional driver training.

Communication between the office and instructors was clearly lacking. When I asked about my training schedule, the instructors couldn’t even find it on their system. I was told they often don’t know what they’re doing from one day to the next because of ongoing system errors.

To make matters worse, this company charged around £500 more than several competitors offering similar courses. Despite the numerous issues, their position is that if you cannot attend on the dates they provide—even when those dates are changed because of their own errors—you risk losing your money.

What disappointed me most was the complete lack of customer care. Despite paying in full for a service that was not delivered as advertised, I have not received a single phone call to apologise or discuss any form of partial refund. The experience caused unnecessary stress and disruption, and I felt completely let down.

My advice would be to seek recommendations from people you trust before booking any training course. Don’t rely solely on the sales pitch. Based on my experience, the service after payment fell well below expectations, and I cannot recommend this company.

Avoid at all cost. Sales team are rude and arrogant, don’t listern to what uou actually need. English is my second language and I was made to feel uncomfortable. Sale man name Matt. Very rude

Hey I think it’s a great platform and very easy to get work and very helpful to help get extra work if needed I would recommend anyone working through them

STAY AWAY FROM HERE
Terrible hiring agency wanted me to start on the 7th I explained I was busy on the 8th so should start on 11th begging of the next. They told me to start on 7th and have 8th off only to later complain I have already had a day off not even one week into work. Jemma brown in the carisle centre is a joke the way she spoke to me and her attitude was terribly unprofessional and ridiculous can’t believe she is in a position to serve potential clients. Will not ever be returning to this agency. Left a business short staffed unfortunately because agency was so awful to deal with.

I worked for driver hair for 6 months and I never get a full week. I tried to take my holiday and I understand that I don't have. when I call them thy told me they paid to me evry week. I was surprised to find out that they lied to me about my hourly wage, as I was working minimum wage and they added the difference from my holiday. To me, cheating someone is pure theft and fraud.when I asked for my contract they stopped giving me work for two weeks and finally sent me a p45 without any warning .I highly recommend not working with them.

The company I work for has been using Driver Hire Motherwell for quite a few years, always very helpful, all the staff members are very friendly and polite, never want to let you down, always check in regularly, even pop in to the office to make sure their service is up to their high standard.
The quality of drivers are also of a higher standard compared to other agencies we have used, all the drivers know what to expect when they come onto site.

Looks like a scam

Wolverhampton address there is a different company there, driver hire DO NOT excist at 4-5 Victoria Square Wolverhampton

Phone number goes through to CANNOCK 01543 (not Wolverhampton) and no- one ever answers the phone.

Could they be running a scam to get people details? I don't know but it makes me wonder

I was looking for temporary work and Diver Hire Sheffield placed me on several assignments which suited me perfectly. I received pay correctly and on time. I found the staff at Driver Hire Sheffield to be friendly, professional and genuine. I would definitely work for them again which speaks volumes. Recommended from me

Constant marketing emails and cold calls saying they are 24/7 from Driver Hire Nottingham. As soon as we send a request a week in advance to book a driver we are ignored leaving us without staffing. Not even an apology!

We use Driver hire Nottingham and they are excellent. Even at short notice they can get us the cover we need. Lizzie is lovely and always brightens my day on the phone. If you need a driver in the Notts area then no need to look much further than Driver hire Nottingham

Avoid avoid at all cost

Very good company I got recommended by a friend. Professional service always provided very stable work Kacper and Ollie always payed on time. Highly recommended

I called Driver hire in the morning and got an appointment for the afternoon. After talking with the team for a short interview they placed me straight away and I started working on the Monday. They communicate when necessary.. otherwise they leave you to do your job. Money has always been paid on time. I’ve also needed time off due to personal reasons and they have been very understanding and helpful. Overall good experience.

Good communication throughout

Great team who work hard to both get me work and deliver excellent service

Working for Driver Hire has been an absolute pleasure. They are genuinely the best agency I’ve ever worked for. They always pay on time, never a single issue, and the entire team is incredibly supportive, friendly, and professional. Communication is clear, they treat you with respect.

If you want an agency that values you, looks after you, and keeps everything running smoothly, Driver Hire is the one. Highly recommend!

I contacted different DH offices about vacancies and, finally, heard back from an agent in the Chesterfield & Worksop offices.
I explained my interest in the position and was asked to complete the online registration - I did so the same day and received a Terms of Engagement from them.

Three days later, and having heard nothing from the office despite emails and phone calls - I gave up expecting to hear from them.

Seven days after completing the online application, I received a phone call from the agent who said, similar to, "You never uploaded your documents so we couldn't go ahead."
I knew I had, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. I resent all documents via Whatsapp and email - being promised a job starting the next day "as soon as you send over I will send confirmation for this"

Again, no further contact.

The next day, I rang multiple times, eventually speaking to the agent who, this time, said "Oh, you never confirmed you wanted the job so it's gone to someone else".
After explaining that I'm still interested in working for them, the agent told me to wait for a call back within 30 minutes as he had a client looking for someone "to start tomorrow".
It's now 20:23 at night and still no information - not even a "sorry, but no."

I feel like I've been scammed by an organisation who want employee profiles on their books to lure in prospective companies but have no real jobs on offer.

Worked with the Northampton team now for close on 3 years. Nice people, decent assignments and very easy to get on with.

Fantastic experience with Driver Hire Coventry!
