Does anyone have a normal voice or fax phone number for hirecars.co.uk?

They show 0870 264 8817 for Faxes on their website (which doesn't show here when I search using it), but I don't see any other number.

Thanks,
Steve.

You're wrong.  The 4th digit of their fax number is 1, not 0.

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015

Hi and welcome to SAYNOTO0870.COM.

As Heinz points out, there is a typo in the fax number you quoted from the company's contact page. It is actually 0871 264 8817. I can see no voice telephone number on the website, 0871 or otherwise.

Interestingly, I can find no trace of the company's address on its website. The only clue is that it is owned by Purplelimo Limited, aka "Purple Limo". I am not sure I would rent a motor vehicle from someone who does not publish his or her address and telephone number.

Whois hirecars.co.uk (that's a look-up of the registration information for this domain/internet address):

Quote:
Domain name:
        hirecars.co.uk

    Registrant:
        Hirecars.co.uk Ltd

    Registrant type:
        UK Limited Company, (Company number: 4639699)

    Registrant's address:
        Purplelimo Limited, Unit 19, Lichfield Business Village, North Staffs Uni
        Lichfield
        Staffs
        WS13 6QG
        United Kingdom


The Companies House concurs with this address for Purplelimo Limited, although its company number is in fact 5822114, which is given as the registrant.

Companies House shows the company number above, 4639699, to belong to:

Quote:
HIRECARS.CO.UK LIMITED
1 THE SQUARE
LIGHTWATER
SURREY
GU18 5SS
Company No. 04639699


I don't believe that the website Hirecars.co.uk is still the property of Hirecars.co.uk Limited, and thus it probably does not have any connection with the Lightwater address any more. Perhaps the registrant's name and company number on the Whois has not been updated/removed since it was purchased. I say this having looked back at the website on the Internet Archive:

As for the location of Purplelimo, some information on Lichfield Business Village is here and here:

Thanks for the replies - and sorry about the typo!

These sort of online agents usually pass the work to the large (safe) hire fleets like Alamo and Hertz and, paying (over £100) by credit card I've considered them safe and I've never had a problem using them.
However, this one has not replied to two messages I've sent asking for confirmation that, having rented in the USA, I can cross the border into Canada, and also a couple of other minor issues. I guessed their email address as admin@hirecars.co.uk and sent an email there too, which didn't bounce, but no replies so far.
I absolutely REFUSE to send a fax to the 0871 number, but would have sent one to the real geographical number if I could have found out what it was.
So...I'll use someone else.  Thanks for the Company Information!
