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.

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):

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:

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:

• In May 2006, the terms and conditions page identified it as being the property of Hirecars.co.uk Limited with the service being provided by Holiday Autos Limited. Contact e-mail addresses were at the carrentals.co.uk domain name. Carrentals.co.uk gives the Lightwater address above.
• http://www.hirecars.co.uk/]In June 2006[/url] the site referred visitors to Carrentals.co.uk.
• http://www.hirecars.co.uk/]In January 2007[/url] the new Hirecars.co.uk site appeared, operated by Purplelimo Limited. The http://www.hirecars.co.uk/contact.php]contact page[/url] consisted of just an electronic form and fax number, 0871 264 8817.

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