Outstanding

I have been buying cars from Arnold Clark for over 15 years, and I have also been regularly renting cars from them, mainly through the Stafford branch. Over all these years, I have consistently been impressed with the quality of service and professionalism I have received.
I would especially like to mention the car rental team at the Stafford branch. They are fantastic, extremely helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and professional. They clearly know what they are doing, and they always make the whole rental process straightforward and stress free.
I would like to give a special thank you to Abby MacCombie for her exceptional customer service. Abby is friendly, approachable, professional and genuinely dedicated to helping customers. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is handled properly, and her positive attitude makes a real difference.
It is people like Abby who create such a great customer experience and make customers want to keep coming back. Her dedication and professionalism are a real credit to Arnold Clark.
After more than 15 years as a customer, I am very happy to continue recommending Arnold Clark, particularly the Stafford car rental team.
Thank you, Abby, and the whole team at Arnold Clark Stafford, for your excellent service. You all deserve 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First class customer service

First time hiring a car and i will definitely be returning, the service from Gary when we picked up the car to returning it with Marion was first class. The car we received was immaculate and a joy to drive. The shuttle bus to and from the airport was a great help but would be better if it was closer to the main terminal but not a major inconvenience.
