Fantastic customer service, very friendly and helpful. Booking was simple and whole process smooth. Will use again, highly recommended.
Barford were excellent. [ I was turned away by another van hire in Norwich because I currently have a Canadian drivers license. This was not stated on their website even though they still charged me the full price]. I called Barford and they were very welcoming and arranged to have a van ready same day. They were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely use them again and recommend to my friends. Many thanks
Chris and the guys at Barford van hire were so helpful, firstly when we hired a Movano in May 2025, which I returned early after 4 hours. Then 2 days later I hired a DAF 7.5T lorry for a day to help with a house move. All went well until I was returning it in the evening. I was about 2 miles away on the rural road leading to Barford when an over-hanging tree branch clipped the big nearside door mirror, which shattered and disappeared. I knew I’d have to pay for a replacement and was expecting a big bill, but was pleasantly surprised to receive an invoice for just £108. They will also give you 10% of the hire price if you have a Blue Light Card. I would definitely hire a vehicle from Barford Van & Car Hire again. Updated on 29/9/25 We booked to hire another 7.5T lorry but had to cancel just hours before picking it up today. Chris was so understanding and gave us a full refund, which was amazing. I doubt that many other companies would have acted this way. The guy below gave a ridiculous 1 star review because Barford have a 150 mile per day hire limit after which you pay just 12p per additional mile, therefore if he wanted to do 250 miles it would have cost just an extra £12 when he returned the vehicle. The hire from Enterprise would probably have cost at least £12 more. Clearly he didn’t do the maths.
Rang up after booking as I didnt realise they capped mileage at 150miles and charged per mile over that. I explained that their competitors offered 250miles range and was met with a huff and "whatever" not very professional at all, which is a shame considering I wanted to go with a local provider, rather than one of the bigger companies - Enterprise it is then
Great service from Barford Hire. Had one of their Small Postman Size Vans. Great drive. Pleasant service booking the van and got loads of insights in living near by as only just moved to the area. Won't be the last time I use Bardford Hire. Love the fact I can leave my car there under the CCTV coverage.
I have used these guys twice and they have been fantastic. Van was great, quick response to emails and really flexible in terms of drop off times, Thanks Robbie & Chris would always recommend :)
Professional outfit with a simple to use booking system. Family owned company with real human beings on the phone speaking common sense. Add great value and smart modern vans and I reckon they've got the perfect combination. I will be back next time I need a van.
Excellent price and the service was impeccable. A special thanks to Chris with finding us the right van for our needs. Will definitely be using the team again, they are all so lovely and friendly
Great experience with Barford Van hire, they were extremely understanding and flexible whilst we were trying to organise bookings for our very last minute house move. Vans were easy to drive and very clean. The whole set up was really efficient. Thanks Chris is particular for your help. Will be using their services again in the future.
Been using Barford van hire for years. Customer service is simply unrivalled, pricing is competitive and the vans are always in good order. The whole team are ace, never had an issue with probably 30+ hires from them. Great company.
