The line was short and the the lady was extremely helpful. Getting to the car was very easy and it was clean and ready to go. The drop-off was also surprisingly easy with a free shuttle to terminal. I would definitely use again.

I picked up my car an hour late with no problems after my flight was delayed! The service was friendly & i was in my rental in about 20min. Great service! I had a Volkswagen Polo, duh a great car with great gas milage around town & long distances. I would recommend Budget!

They didn’t have any mid-size suvs—the class we had reserved. Tried to rent us large 10 passenger van instead, which was unacceptable. Eventually manager became involved and we settled on Ford Galaxy which they told us was our only other option without paying much more.

Car rental facility, once you find it, is pretty close to the terminals, with rapid bus service.

Dropoff procedure at Manchester Airport was slow (10 minutes to get car checked in, due to understaffing) and not terribly friendly.

Very friendly customer Care

You should have more desks for dealing at Manchester airport

No queue.

Agent was nitpicking at drop off. He focused on Minor wear and tear I could not even have seen at pickup because the car park was too dark. I was not charged, but it made me feel very uncomfortable and delayed my departure.

I’m from the US and when the car was returned 30 min late because I was lost, I was charged another day’s rental. Plus, the insurance rates are too high! I will not rent from Hertz again!

Europcar did not accept the insurance I booked through the website!!

I contracted the car for £89. I waited for 25 minutes in line to listen to a eruopcar employee talk about the weather to another customer. I was then informed that I was late (after 4pm) and would be charged an extra £60. I was then informed that I needed insurance as the quote I received did not include it. So an extra £40 was added. I ended up paying an extra £100 in total. I will;l never again use Europcar after being a loyal customer for 30 years.

I was extremely frustrated to find I *had* to purchase additional theft insurance, even though I have full coverage through my credit card. This added significantly to the daily cost of the rental in ways I had not planned on. It would be one thing if this had been communicated transparently at the point of booking, but to find this out at the point of pick up was extremely frustrating. I will be more discerning in future, and will not be choosing Europcar.

We will never rent from Easirent again. No shuttle provided even though we called and waited 1 hour. Not located in the Manchester Airport area. Took 2 hours to check out the car with no other customers there. We were given no paper work for the rental car. Had to call the mechanic and lost 3 vacation days because of problems with the car mechanics. The car return location was poorly marked and they would not provide a shuttle to Heathrow airport. Keep your money and get better service and customer help by renting somewhere else.

Our reservation was automatically cancelled due to late arrival, which was never explained as a possibility and then we were forced to pay more than double due to same-day rates. At drop off there were no signs explaining what needed to be done, so we wasted 15 minutes waiting in line only to find out that we needed to bring the car into the garage. Once in the garage there was no one to help so we had to wait another ten minutes for someone to show up to inspect the car. They just seem understaffed with no clear signage or directions.

Just been forced to pay insurance because I couldn’t make payments of the deposit… wouldn’t allow me to make 2 payments and my card wouldn’t do the larger amount in one transaction

Was told I needed to pay an extra £200 on top of the price that I had been quoted on the website. Apparently, because I had booked through a US website, insurance hadn't been included in the original quote!!

drop off at Gatwick was difficult. its at a hotel in the middle of a very confusing one way system, there are no visible signs until you get into the car park and if youre dropping it off on a sunday like I was theres no one to help you. I parked next to a van with the easirent logo on it so I assume it was the right place but the spaces had hertx written on the ground by them so I may well end up with a fine. who knows.

Nothing.

The company or location I reserved could have been actually open. Had to do another booking for a much higher price.

Car was just what I ordered

Pick up was a disaster, was stated to be at airport was not, no indication of how to get to them google gave a closed office location and phone number did not work, price was not as quoted would have been similar price to go with a main stream company. Even details of how to get back to airport was vague end result lots of walk g both ways!

They did a bait and switch on me at Heathrow by claiming that as my flight arrived early they didn't have a car available in the class I booked. So what they had was 250% higher. As I was there for my mother's 100 birthday, and they are well away from all other rental companies, I had to accept it. However I will never rent from them again

Poor|Sep 2021

No one was at the Sixt counter to collect the car, and after waiting 30 minutes, I called the Sixt helpline, only to find an automated message saying my booking had been cancelled. That meant I had to book another car with a rental company whose desk was manned at twice the cost of the original. I am absolutely disgusted with both Sixt and Kayak for not informing me of the cancellation, and leaving me in the lurch after a 10 hour flight and I will not be using either again.

Car was fine, pretty standard

Did not get a final bill at the return -- got a copy of damage report emailed (no damage, everything in order, fuel full, etc. ), but did not get a bill. I rent a lot for business and family trips and expect to immediatly get a final bill for the rental on return -- very unsatisfactory. Will I get a surprise? I don't know?

Ease of pick up and no worried about the vehicle

I don't like that you always end up spending 2x more money than the rental to cover insurance as they will not take insurance from the state's. Would like to have this disclosed.
