Absolutely to avoid. Rented through Ryanair, never had problems before with other companies. Used the East Midlands Airport's branch, they are not at the airport, not even close like all the others, the experience is dodgy, they require an outrageous £1500 deposit held on your credit card, and after picking up the car you're left with the awful feeling that they will try to rip you off when you're going to return it. they had the guts to tell me a stone chip on the bonnet would cost about £500 because they send the car off to be fixed EVERY time they have a body damage, no matter how small...I then proceeded to carefully inspect the car and found 9 (NINE) chips on the front and 5 (FIVE) on the back! I required them to write every one of them on the damage report and a couple more just for reassurance. I then returned fueled and immaculate and got all my deposit back, but I would never want to have the same experience before. I must have rented 150 cars in my life, first time with them and they were the worst.

I hate renting a car these days. Here is yet another rip-off company. Booked a car via RyanAir (have previously had positive experiences booking via Ryan Air). Only when I am printing out the details to take with me, did I notice in the small print that they require a £1.350 deposit to be left on my credit card. This, despite contracting the full extra insurance with them. I absolutely hate these companies that put all these abusive clauses in their rental contracts. £1.350 deposit for a 2 day car hire - ridiculous,

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Hugely stressful experience. Staff are rude, accusatory and their aim seems to be out to gouge as much money out of customers as possible. On top of that I was given a van with a potentially dangerous hydraulic fault, and then charged £1,325 due to Easirent's unqualified misdiagnosis of the problem! Picked up a van from the Kings cross branch for a 24hr rental. The first, and last time I will ever use Easirent. On collection the van was dirty, and had some liquid spilled all over the dashboard. Easirent staff checked the vehicle and marked all the current damage. The fuel level was also checked and a rough indication of the level was marked on basic diagram on the check out documentation. I used the van for approximately 8hrs, in which time I covered 20 miles of driving. I dropped the van back, and left keys with the out of hours staff. At this time the van was working perfectly, as demonstrated by it's tracking logs and cctv in at the drop off location. 24hrs after I dropped the van off I got a call from Easirent Kings cross to say that the reverse gear in the van was "broken" and that I was liable. I was then promptly charged £1325 on my credit card. All gears in the van were working perfectly when I dropped the van off, so I was obviously very surprised to hear this. The next day I took a day off work to travel back to the Kings cross Easirent office. Despite being in office hours, the office was completely deserted and nobody answered the door. When I went to check the van at the drop off location up the road I was met by an Easirent staff member who was initially extremely aggressive and accused me of deliberately parking the van in a specific parking location so as to cover up the damage to the reverse gear (utterly untrue). I was later given a receipt for the 'damage' to the van, which simply stated "burnt clutch". When I asked how they had diagnosed damage to the reverse gear, and then a burnt clutch, the Easirent staff simply stated that they "weren't mechanics" and had simply guessed. Later the issue was proven by Renault mechanics to be a clutch / brake hydraulic leak. This was due to a manufacturing fault on the van, and was covered under warranty. The fault was in no way caused by me, but was a service issue on the van. It took almost a month after the final Renault diagnosis of the van fault for me to finally get my money back from Easirent! During this time I was incurring credit card interest charges etc. To add insult to injury I was also charged £26 for apparently dropping the van back with less fuel than when I picked it up. This is despite me having photos of the fuel level when I picked the van up and when I dropped it off clearly showing the fuel level was identical. The Easirent staff just kept referring to their rudimentary pencil markings on the pick-up and drop-off paperwork to try and justify why they had charged me £26 for fuel that didn't exist. The fact is that these pencil marking have no scales or relation to the van's fuel gauge itself. They are simply an indication of the Easirent staff members interpretation of the van's fuel level. So they used ambiguity and misdirection as a way to attempt to justify gouging some more money out of me. In the end I got my £1325 back, but am still out of pocket for the £26 "fuel fee", train fares to travel to the Easirent office to discuss the accusations they were making against me, and the interest on £1,325 that they charged to my credit card. I also had to take almost two days off work to discuss these issues with Easirent, my lawyer and my credit card company. I wouldn't have had to do this if Easirent were able to communicate properly, as on the phone they just kept repeating the same comment over and over....."you are liable for the damage, you are liable for the damage". Easirent were incredibly quick to pass all blame onto their customer, and charge me the maximum amount possible. In their own admission they were unqualified to diagnose a fault with the van, but went ahead and did it anyway. They were rude and aggressive at times, and their communication of the issue was appalling. The van was also dirty and uncleaned when I collected it. The fact that Easirent rented me a potentially dangerous van is another matter completely!

Worst car rental company we ever had the misfortune to use and we have used numerous over the years. Buyer please beware of these scammers and make sure you read everything you are asked to sign. We were told we were signing a release form and they kept us talking only to find they had taken a whopping £90 from our account on top of the rental we had already paid. They are a nightmare to deal with afterwards too|

Got lulled into false sense of security by reading positive reviews which are hmmm questionable going by my experience. Firstly not particularly near the airport so if you value your time spend the extra & go with reputable company which Easirent are not. Left me standed when car broke down in alien city, no breakdown numbers were answered, scary stuff......never again not even if the car came with a chauffeur!

Awful, awful, awful!!! Car pickup location is in Crawley! You need to take a local bus (not a special car rental company bus) to get to a car rental office. Bus service frequency is 45 minutes! Our car was dreadful with numerous dents. You need to count them all in peach darkness of the night. I don't want to tell the whole story as it would take a long time, simply avoid them! No money can compensate for the awful 'service' they pretend to provide.

Collection took almost an hour (it was busy, I can understand that, although the office was seriously understaffed). When I dropped off the car though, the guy who was checking us out, walked around the car and went DIRECTLY to a spot on the front bumper where he wiped off the dust and 'found' damage. He didn't even pretend to look at the rest of the car. I wished I'd filmed it, because it was utterly farcical. He then said he would go in to the office and check previous damage reports; he was gone 45 seconds and came back and insisted that this crack had not been in the plastic bumber when I collected the car and that it would cost £700 for a replacement. I would really like to see photos of this car when it was checked in from the previous rental.

Why don't we read reviews BEFORE booking with Easirent!! I too fell for the insurance scam however as others have already said, if I hadn't they would have got the money in another way. If everyone reported Easirent to Trading Standards they would have to do something. I did and so can you

I've just returned a car after 8 days rental from the gatwick branch and cannot fault the experience. I chose a ford focus or similar and received a 2019 Renault Captur in immaculate condition. It had all the gadgets I could hope for - carplay, heated seats, electric dash display. The rental was £7 a day which i thought an absolute bargain and so i expected to get the hard sell on upgraded insurance when picking up the car. The man did suggest i take enhanced insurance for around £350 which i declined. He then suggested a less comprehensive for £250 which I also declined...and that was it. I've just dropped it off, no fuss, no push back. 10/10!

AVOID - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! The worst car hire company I have ever had to deal with! They appear cheap but make up the difference by either upselling you further insurance when you pick up the car (which they do in a very pushy manner), and if you don't take out the additional insurance, by charging you for damage to the car, even if you did not do it. Another way they try and scam money out of you is to sell you the full tank at a 'discounted' rate. The rate they quote is much less than the rate that you can buy fuel in a local station, however, they charge for many more litres than the tank can actually hold, so avoid this also. I picked up a vehicle from their Dublin office at 5pm at which point it was dark outside. When I collected the car the agent told me that there was no record of any damage on the car and it was my responsibility to tell him what damage was on the car so that it could be marked up on the record sheet. This was almost impossible to do as the car was black and I had to inspect it outside in the dark with no additional lighting. Even in these conditions I could see that the car was heavily damaged pretty much all over and the record sheet was covered in damage locations by the time I had finished looking at the car. The agent agreed with all the damage indicated, even though a few moments before he said there was no record of any damage on the car! As soon as it was daylight (9am the next morning) I took pictures of the car to have a clear record of the damage. When I returned the car the agent (female with blond hair - the rudest and most unprofessional agent I have ever had to deal with) looked at the marked up sheet and then went to inspect the car on her own. She then came back to tell me that there was a dent in the only location that had no marked damage on the sheet. I looked back through the photos that I had taken the next morning in daylight and yes there was a dent visible in those photos, but this was not considered suitable evidence for easirent and they charged me for damage to the car and an extortionate admin fee on top. So I would just AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

Its strange that everyone is complaining about the same things with these guys - Worst car rental. Dont fall for the low cost. Its all a scam. 1) First they say your car is not ready and you need to pay for an upgrade. They make you wait and wait to frustrate you. If you say cancel, then they start pulling up excuses like you can 15 mins late, 30 mins late hence we gave the car away. 2) The ask you to pay £1500 deposit for the car. Its not a pre-auth. They take the money. And their list of charges is scary - Small dent £350, scratch on tire £200 and so on. Only way to avoid it is to pay full insurance which is £40/day. 3) The office and pick-up location are atleast 15 mins away from each other in KingsCross London. Read other reviews and people say how they charged them extra several times. Beware all. ITS A SCAM.

The worst car hire experience I have ever had - from start to finish it was extremely dodgy I’m not normally one for online reviews but feel compelled to let others know and warn them against this company They adopt incredible immoral tactics for charging you extra - from saying your deposit payment is inaccurate to saying no cars are available (so you pay for an upgrade) Do not recommend

Bait & Switch company. Total SCAM. I had a contract with Easy Rent Cars to rent a car from Nov 4, 2019 thru Nov 11, 2019 (pick up and return in Maui, HI OGG). My contract was for $218.23. I paid upfront $136.98. I owed $81.25 in taxes (due at pick up). I was charged instead $95.83. I contacted them on Nov 29, 2019 (when the overcharge amount appeared on my credit card). I have spent numerous hours and at least 20+ calls trying to get them to refund the overcharge of $14.58. I have given them 6 weeks to resolve this matter. They have given me the run around for the last 6 weeks. Emails have gone unanswered. I have spoken with Laura, Ben, and Arthur -- who all promised to escalate the issue. Management has failed to reply. I have not received my overcharge of $14.58 returned to my credit card. Their company works on the whole "bait & switch" scam. They promise you a really low car rental rate and then charge you a different amount.

The worst costumer service ever! Instead of trying to help us and keeping a client, they saw an opportunity to charge us more 200£. It’s a shame!

Absolutely awful and feels a bit dodgy. Do yourself a favour and don't use these guys at Gatwick. May be cheap, but they will scam you in another way to get more money. Not a very professional office and looks like something from the dark ages. They charged me extra for a hardly noticeable scuff mark on the wheel trim. There is no way I could have done that as the car was always parked in a private parking space, and nowhere near any kerb. My fault for not checking carefully enough when I hired the vehicle in the first place. Best to take photos of everything if you do decide to use them. I certainly will never use them again.

@EasirentCarHire at #CastleDonington scammed me in Sept 2019 when I signed their EPAD believing this to be for lost keys and failure to refuel. I had a yearly policy (£35.00) to cover damage to their vehicle and they charged me £270 for 2 weeks extra insurance without my consent
