Top Reasons our customers choose Atlas

The reasons listed below have been sourced from customer satisfaction surveys undertaken on-line, within 5 days of returning their vehicle.

No surcharges, booking fees or credit card fees

The price you see is the price you pay.   We will not charge anything additional or hide any extras.   In most cases if you opt to pay at time of booking you will save on the initial price quoted; 5% discount.

We offer flexible collection and return times

There are no premiums for collecting or returning on Sundays or public holidays.  Use our enquiry system, enter your preferred dates and time, and you will see the total price for the vehicles available.

Modern Vehicles, latest models

Our motorhome and campervan fleet are brand new models.  All vehicles are upgraded to include automatic transmissions and engine horsepower upgrades.   We refresh our motorhome fleet every year ensuring our customers experience a vehicle that feels like new.  After every hire we conduct an intensive turnaround programme.  This ensures the vehicle is returned to as near new condition each time.   We want our customers feeling like they are the first to use the vehicle.

Each motorhome is well equipped as standard meaning there are no hidden or last minute charges.  TV/DVD’s, powerful heaters are all standard and not options.

 

Atlas only use their own vehicles

At Atlas, we only rent our own vehicles.  Our customers recognise the benefits of this.

Many rental companies on the internet are not actual vehicle rental firms.  They are a booking system for vehicles owned by members of the public who wish to make some extra money from hiring their vehicle.  This can lead to lower prices, as there is no fleet to purchase or maintain, however it also means there is no control of the vehicle quality and maintenance procedures.   Many agents have nothing vested in the business and can easily disappear overnight.   High profile agents went out of business this year with customers losing their money and having their holiday ruined at the last minute.

If you were renting a car, you wouldn’t expect Avis or Hertz to provide you with someone elses vehicle.   It is worth checking this if the price looks too good to be true.

 

Operate from City Centre Based business premises

We operate from a commercial depot, not a business from home. We offer secure parking for customer vehicles with multi camera CCTV system.  Easy to access depot from main trunk road network.  Only 400 yards from the M8 motorway.

Location Location Location

Glasgow City centre location offering simple and easy connections to rail, air and major road networks. Collections and drop offs from major transport hubs available. Glasgow Airport & Edinburgh Airport.  All major Glasgow Train Stations, Edinburgh Train Stations.

It’s your holiday vehicle, not a mobile advertisement

No branded signage or logos on our vehicles.  Our customers do not want to drive a mobile billboard advert around.   We believe this can make you stand out as a tourist.

With Atlas the vehicle doesn’t look hired and you could easily pass it off as your own.   You don’t see car rental firms like Hertz and Avis with big signs on them so why do so many campervan and motorhome companies plaster their logo, web address and telephone number on the front back and sides of the vehicle.

Don’t look like a tourist.

Full  roadside support keeping you on the move.  Why change your own wheel if you get a puncture. Let someone else do it and you can relax.
