Our Credentials
We are a BVRLA Member which gives you the reassurance of the level and quality of service you will receive. We are audited against their code of conduct and they offer a dispute resolution service should a complaint with us not be resolved. We were the first company in Cambridgeshire to complete our Business Road Safety Membership program, resulting in press coverage and membership #1 in the whole of Cambridgeshire. This further more highlights our commitment to road safety. In December 2008, we became a member of the Federation of Small Businesses.
Our History
1991 Budget Cambridge (Buttress and Buttress), a franchise of Budget rent a car, was born and the journey began. 2006 Budget Cambridge (Buttress and Buttress) became Cambridge Car and Van Rental. Wanting to remain a local company and not become involved with call centres, we became a 100% independent company. It enabled us to keep that connection with our customers and ensure we had full control of customer service. Since then we haven't looked back!
