Like having a known company. Have rented from other companies where I had to go to some little office well off site. Hertz rental location was easy to find, clean and well staffed. I knew that I could return the car after office hours and find someone there to return the car to. Their choice of car options was also important. Finally they offered a generous mileage allowance - 700 miles for 7 days.

Easirent at Heathrow is based in a container in the corner of a parking lot. No direct pick up from Terminals, you have to catch a hotel hopping bus. Also, cost advertised is only the car rental. Insurance and damage waiver coverage are extras which really ramps up the price. They may be backed by Fiat (they say) and operate through Pricecom (an American outfit) but their set up is second rate, although in the end the car we had was good, met our needs but was overpriced.

Liked the car but didn’t realize it came with only 100 miles/day. So I had to upgrade which doubled the price. Took over an hour to find the bus and get to their off airport site. Two hour waiting in a queue with just one person checking everyone in. Felt so bad for couple in front of me who were going to miss their cruise do to horrible delay. On return the bus only came once an hour to return to Terminal 5! Never renting from them again!

Pick up is in dark underground garage at LHR. Staff do not accompany customers to mark paperwork with existing damage to vehicle or help with controls on vehicle. Telephone assistance, very difficult to reach a live person to address concerns after pickup. World wide Sixt computer system was down for over two days and email assistance was delayed. Usual problems communicating with a live person when I was eventually able to talk to someone in English as it was not their first language. Insurance is very expensive at the counter at pickup. Be sure to buy online with rental prior to pickup. Good luck!

Poor|Mar 2022

I should have known better. When picking up the vehicle, I was handed a vehicle damage report that literally listed dozens of minor scratches on the vehicle. I couldn't actually see any of these on the car but decided to overlook that. Then, upon returning the vehicle, I was charged a significant amount of money for a very minor scratch on the hubcap, far in excess of what it would have taken to replace the entire hubcap, and certainly not warranted for the minor scratch present. Also, the pickup location is very difficult to find, and the drop-off is equally difficult, as you have to ignore the customary signs pointing to rental car returns at the airport.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the vehicle having a faulty tire on the way back to the Budget shop and had to deal with a flat. The roadside service representative informed us that the tire tread was too low, and that the tire tread was pulling away from the tire on the inside - and was highly likely in that poor condition when we first picked up the vehicle. As a result, I would suggest that Budget make closer safety inspections of their vehicles. This was an incredible imposition, and could have been an extremely dangerous outcome if we had not stopped when we had.

The car booked was the Peugeot 2008 but I was given the Hyundai Exceed which was lower and caused a lot of discomfort while driving, the indicators for the tires lights up for no apparent reason which again caused me to be concerned throughout the journey I had called for an expert to checked on the tyre but It seems to have no problem but I still need to pay for the call this made me unhappy. The other features of the car such as USB ports and the screen which was supposed to be connected to my iPhone were also non usable. I took full insurance on rental car just to be given such a poor service.

Absolutely awful. £200 in hidden charges on pick up. Site in the middle of nowhere with buses only operating once an hour and not between 1200-1400 creating captive clientele. No bathrooms on site. Unhelpful staff. Worst rental I’ve ever paid for.

When picking the vehicle up there was a lot of pressure to pay for extra insurance. Perhaps they should make people aware of this at the time of booking. This was necessary as I demonstrated I had the excess covered. This did not stop them scrutinizing my documents. Returning the vehicle was trouble free. The guy who checked the vehicle back in was called Mark and he couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you Mark. Not sure why it takes up to 14 days to refund the somewhat excessive deposit of GBP 2,500! Green motion where quick to take the money but it seems not too keen to give it back!

Mediocre|Jan 2020

We thought we'd struck an excellent deal with Green Motion. However on arrival to Heathrow, we firstly had to get a paid shuttle to the car rental location, costing £5 per person. We were then forced to pay two times the cost of the car rental for insurance because the vehicle didn't have any cover as standard whatsoever. I've never heard of such a thing! We came away feeling upset and like we'd been scammed.
