Excellent|Sep 2022We had to delay our pickup of our rental car since the streets were all blocked off in Edinburgh (due to the Queen at St. Giles Cathedral). The gentlemen at the Easirent Edinburgh were so easy to work with and really understanding when we had to make changes to our plans due to the Queen's presence in the city. When we finally picked up our vehicle on Wednesday, the process was smooth and they had it all ready for us. We had a great experience with Easirent.

Mediocre|Sep 2022Beware of mandatory insurance costs which they do not tell you about and you only find out after your credit card has been charged. Will never use Kayak again.

Mediocre|Sep 2022This car rental branch will pursue even the tiniest scratch that would be considered normal wear and tear at most locations. Though their initial price may be cheap, do not be fooled as they will get their money on the back end. I was charged 365 pounds for one scratch less than an inch in length underneath the bottom frame of the door and a scuff on the boot from pulling suitcases in and out. I also witnessed two other customers being given the same shakedown treatment for damage. My worst car rental experience in 35 years. I feel sorry for anyone who has an actual damage incident. I will be escalating my concerns with Easirent corporate and the appropriate authorities.

Excellent|Sep 2022The car was to come with a GPS but it wasn’t installed. They don’t provide portable GPS units. Fortunately we have a cell phone with us and the charge cord fits. They were very helpful in explaining the car’s features and the car manual was supplied.

Good|Aug 2019Drop off was very efficient.
There was a 2 fold difference between the amount on the final receipt and the initial estimate. As there are no petrol stations near Edinburgh airport, I had to hand in the car without filling the tank myself and was charged £100 for the fuel ! Give information about nearest petrol station.

Good|Jul 2019Staff was friendly and efficient.
I was charged for a scratch that was on the bottom of the front bumper and possibly already on the car prior to my renting it. It was so low that I had to bend over to see it.

Okay|Jun 2019I felt pressured to upgrade to a car model that I did not need for my trip. When I arrived I was told that the car I had reserved many weeks in advance would not be ready for quite some time, but I could upgrade for minimal cost. In the end the minimal cost turned out to be much more.

Okay|Jun 2022The night before I was expected to pick my car up I received an email stating that the car would not be on site at the scheduled time the following day and no time was given. I called the car rental company the morning I was supposed to collect the car as the email they sent the day before was after hours so there was nobody manning the customer support service. When I spoke to a representative they continued to state that they Did not have the car I ordered available and at that time there were no other cars to select from.. Approximately two hours later they did provide a car although it wasn’t the car I had initially selected. The delay cut in to our travel time as we was scheduled to drive to another location that morning but did not leave until the afternoon due to the delay in receiving a car.

Mediocre|Oct 2021A car was available for me to drive. That was good. The bad: 1) Original quote was for £ 275 - the local Hertz desk charged me £ 691 and tried to charge me over £ 800!! 2) I requested an automatic transmission and got a stick 3) there was a huge scratch in the rear passenger door 4) There was no return sign at the Inverness airport for Hertz, all the other rental car agencies were represented but not Hertz. We had to drive around for 10 min trying to find it, and luckily saw the tiny Hertz sign upon leaving the airport. Kind of a disaster regarding the drop off.

Excellent|Oct 2021We enjoyed our Ford Kuga for our Scottish Highlands road trip. Although the car doesn't have the oomph as other cars, it certainly met our needs. The car had ample space for our luggage and provided a good ride.

Horrible|Aug 2021Because of a late flight, my wife and daughter did not get to the Hertz office in time to pick up the rental. They had to arrange to pick it up the next day losing a day of the intended contract. For them to do this, they charged an extra $150.00!! Thank you Hertz, I will not be back.

Excellent|Jun 2018We were picked up at the airport (you have to call them and they will be there within minutes). The collection process was really quick and easy. The staff was excellent and showed us quickly the specifics of the car (which by the way was upgraded). We were offer onsite to reduce the Excess to 0 or to £100, we chose the latter which was ~£50 extra for the 3 days we rented the vehicle. The drop-off process was very easy and quick too! we got another ride to the airport from there. FYI, they took £300 deposit from the credit card which will be refunded after you return your car and they check everything is OK.
All was good!

Good|Jun 2022We had to change our drop off from Gatwick to Heathrow do to the airline canceling our flight and then rebooking us to fly from Heathrow... Avis accomodated...but for an added fee. Since Avis has a car rental site at both airports, a no added fee to drop off at a different airport would have been appreciated - particularly as we had no control over the flight change... Other than that - we were quite happy with our experience with Avis.

Excellent|Apr 2022Drop off with John at Avis was really great! Such courteous and friendly service. So nice to see such professionalism. Would be great to have instructions in the car for using Satnav maps. I used my iPhone but was a little confused with car screen presentation at times. Overall a fabulous experience and would definitely recommend Avis at this location.

Mediocre|Aug 2019Was very disappointed with booking a "Premium Class" car through this service - Website stated a "Mercedes C Class or similar". An extremely basic Volkswagen Golf was the car we received on arrival at the Avis counter. Fitting a family and luggage into this car was awful. Extremely disappointed.
9.2
Excellent|Jul 2019Pickup was easy and convenient.
My flight cancelled 10 hours prior to dept. I had to drop the car off at a new airport. I had one hell of a time figuring out how to get a hold of Avis to do this as the internet option told me I had to call someone. It took 30+ minutes to get a note in my res. Not even sure it was done right.

10.0
Excellent|Nov 2021BE CAREFUL! Fortunately Paisley (Glasgow airport, Scotland) accepted my Diners Club credit card had collision and theft coverage, so I could decline paying for Europecar’s coverage. Despite my having paperwork saying my North American auto insurance had up to 60 days global rental coverage (I had a coverage rider noting this, in my name, printed out and with me), this location said they would not have taken that. And Europcar on the week prior Dublin rental refused even the credit card coverage and forced us to purchase the extra Europcar insurance, despite my having Pre-Paid that rental on their website!! So be very careful, and it’s not the rental staff’s fault. Europcar buries the fact (that they are stringent on allowing people to decline paying for coverage. It is 2 clicks in and a big scroll down to see how stringent and that you need proof in writing in you name for them to accept you have suitable 3rd party coverage.

Mediocre|Jun 2022Customer service was awful, rude, aggressive, arrogant and unhelpful. The car I received was 4 years old and I took 61 photos of dents and scratches that were on the car prior to me driving it. No handover, just thrown the keys. Tyres were under-inflated, brakes were grinding and interior had been cleaned, but drivers seat was dirty. Drop off was a better experience, that particular person was not there. First time using Europcar, and last. There needs to be a complete overhaul of the customer service experience and their vehicles. Would definitely not recommend.

Mediocre|Jun 2022I had a rental confirmation for a particular car when I went to the rental desk to pick it up. The person at the desk asked me a few questions about the number of bags and number of passengers and he recommended to get a larger car because he thought the one I had would be too small. I looked at the two cars he had to offer and did agree to a Rav4 for 150 pounds a day. I knew this would be more than the original quote but there was never any mention of a bunch of extra charges that ran the price up over $5000 dollars for an 11 day rental!! Transparency is the key to both parties being satisfied with a deal. I feel I was victim to a mis-representation of the costs. I would never have gone through with the deal had I been given the price with all the unjustified extras.
