This was by far the least professional car rental company I have ever dealt with. I booked the car on Obitz.com and when I arrived at my scheduled pickup time, the line was out the door. We waited nearly 3 hours to finally get a car that was far smaller than the one we reserved. In addition to this, there were up-charges and hidden fees everywhere. All told, we paid 5x what Orbitz.com said the cost would be. This includes a 95£ deposit for gas that was only partially refunded. Once we finally got on the road we got a flat tire only to find that the spare was flat as well and needed to be replaced. Due to this, my 5 member family was stranded for the night on a country road late in the evening. It took over 24 hours to get this fixed and back on the road. What a nightmare! Others may report a good experience with this company, but if you choose to rent from them you will likely be very disappointed.

Very haphazard process of car rental at Heathrow branch. Too many request concerning rental , proof of address, Boarding pass, passport and payment receipt. I spent 1 hour trying to get a car after a long flight. I thought Autoeurope would have sent all these details to Easirent. They now by stealth take fuel deposit of £95 pounds after you have almost completed the rental agreement. Even though I chose the option to refuel the car. At this stage , you have no option to back out because your initial rental price has been taken upfront by Autoeurope. Car had so many scratches I had to reject it because I would have been stung for £1250. Car deposit for a class B car is £1250. Fuel deposit is not refunded until 5 days after you have returned car. Spokesman said it's banking process. What a lie! Overall, a very bad experience. I'll stick to the big names. Easirent is a lot of hassle. Do not bother.

I had two types of full coverage auto insurance, Easirent staffers said. We're not good enough, charged me an extra $205 inc tax for triplicate unnecessary coverage, a real scam

Friendly but slapdash service at Easirent Southampton. Waited 40 minutes for our car and both the interior and exterior were dirty. Car was booked via argus car hire and their terms and conditions do not specify that a fuel receipt has to be provided to prove the tank is full so we were told there may be a charge for this. We had to wait 20 minutes when dropping the car off before anyone could take us to the airport. You get what you pay for with this company.

If i could give a zero i would. 1. No credit card (ie you have a debit card like 99% of the uk) you have to pay full onsirance which doubles the per day rental. Suddenly not so budget anymore. It takes an age to get to their affice by the airport bus. I rrally really wish i'd gone with eurocar or sixt. Check the fine print exta extra well.

Nowhere near the airport and then took ages to be picked up. Hassle from start to finish with sorting the actual car out- with the original quote spiralling out of control. We were then charged a significant fee as we couldn't provide a receipt for filling the tank (despite filling this up less than 2 miles away) when we dropped the car off. The attitude of the manager was disgusting. No ability to listen to what we had to say- just bullied us into paying the fee. He was incredibly rude. There's a reason why certain companies monopolise the car hire industry. Avoid these cowboys like the plague and stick.

When I went to collect my car I was told that I needed 2 forms of address id as well as my driving license. When my husband could provide these (after sitting in our car for 20 mins and then emailing these), as the car was booked in my name I had to pay extra to add an additional driver. None of this was visible on our booking.

I'm currently in the easirent office in Edinburgh. Problems 1 I don't use a credit card so have been charged an additional £70 on a 48 hour hire, trebling quoted price. 2 I've been waiting 90 minutes to collect my car. 3 they've been arguing with another customer about his lack of id-they bizarrely insist on utility bills as id. Avoid

The car broke down. They didn't care. I missed a concert because of this. I spent from around 1:30pm to 10pm with the AA recovering me from Scotland to Manchester. I was shattered. Then when I asked to extend the hire for one more day it was a hassle. I rang the branch who told me to call reservations who were closed. I rang back he then told me to do it online. Tried several attempts it wouldn't work. Rang back told them I wouldn't be back in time as I hadn't been able to reserve for an extra day. They told me a report will go to the police if I don't have it back on time (although I'd spent over 45 mins trying to extend it ). I'd explained to him what an awful experience I had he then told me that I am coming across patronising! I then cried I was so stressed. Terrible experience and would never recommend them. It's not worth saving a few quid and choosing them I'll stick to enterprise in the future.

Rip off! They are "cheap" when it comes to cost of rental per day but they force you to pay all sorts of extras like insurance (even you have your own like i did: icarhireinsurance) or they require ridiculously high deposit of £1200 from your credit (not debit) card. If not such large deposit available on your card they simply won't release a car for you without paying full insurance or reducing excess to zero by paying another ridiculously high fee per day! Other rental companies in the UK take deposit of £300-400 for a compact-standard car and do not insist you must take insurance. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! Go to any other rental company at the airport! you will pay little more for renting but much less on any extras you do not need!

Terrible company!!!! Never again, the worst car renting experience ever in 25 years! Misleading, treating a customer as a potential thief, charging imaginary charges, absolutely awful.

I had booked the car online and was quoted £75 for three days plus £25 for an additional driver and £60 for the insurance. I paid a booking fee of £50 and expected to pay the remaining £85 on arrival. However, we were then charged a further £135.00 when arrived to collect the car - far more than I was quoted online. I received no invoice to outline what we had paid and have the feeling that we have been ripped off. I would not recommend this company and i would not use them again.

Absolutely stay away from renting with Easirent esspecially if you are travelling from Canada or USA and intend on using your credit card insurance. I booked my reservation with the intention of using my credit card insurance like I always do and even received an email from the company confirming that I was able to do this. When I arrived at the Edinburgh Airport location to collect the car I was told that I was unable to use my credit card insurance and I had to pay an extra 15 Dollars per day to bring down my liability and utilize their insurance. They told me that if I did not I would not be legal to drive the car! Even though a week before I was informed via email that in fact I would be covered and I even showed the email tot he staff on site. I spent over 1 hour arguing with staff until I gave up as they were not willing to help. Once I went out to get the car, it was not even ready and was still being cleaned. Absolutely horrible company and I will never rent with them again! Save yourself the hassle and go with a more reliable car rental company! Even now, when I contacted customer support, they are not interested in helping. Never Again....

Was told no need to pay m50 charges. Theres a massive posters on easy rent Dublin airport branch warning customers not to double pay toll charges. I've asked if I should pay. Answer-no this will be debit from your card. We will pay it for you, said with a smile. . Received email today tolls paid plus 20 euros administration charge. Charge trebles the tool cost! Avoid avoid avoid. I've complained and will pursue.

I would like to let you know of what a terrible, awful, thieving company you are. I rented a car through Fox Car Rental. I was not told by them that it would actually be Easirent who would be the company I would get the car from. When I called for the shuttle, I couldn't hear the agent on the phone (and I clearly was not from the UK to know what he was talking about with regards to landmarks around the airport). He told me where to meet the shuttle (either in this car park, or that car park as the hotel had 2 different car parks, but never had an exact location as to where to get the shuttle). I had to ask THREE different parking attendants where a shuttle might pick me up telling them I rented through Fox, they had never heard of Fox. An UNMARKED white van pulls in and the attendants ask him where I should go. Turns out the unmarked van was for me. AN UNMARKED VAN was their shuttle! And at this point I still had no clue it was Easirent. and the driver had also no clue what Fox was. He asked if I was from the US and if I rented a car, I said yes, he said he was picking me up. I get to the HOTEL that had a desk inside (UNMARKED AGAIN, seems Easirent doesn't know how to put up signs for customers). The agent inside took my passport, license and international license (good thing I got one). I started to take out the car rental insurance policy I had as well. He scribbles a few things on a small piece of scrap paper and told me I needed to but a 30,000GBP deposit on a credit card incase there was an incident (do people have that much credit on their cards? really?) I told him I had coverage for more than that already and started to hand him my paperwork, he refused to take it and wrote down more stuff I didn't understand stating I had to put down a deposit for any damages. I HAD COVERAGE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE VEHICLE ALREADY!! At this point it was an hour after we had landed and I had been awake for 21 hours. I don't know what I was exactly charges for but after the conversion I was charged $569 ($400 MORE than what my reservation was for). If the insurance coverage was supposed to be a deposit, I want a refund for the extra $400 I was charged... I STILL don't even know the name of that desk agent, but I was there for over 2 hours! Fighting over the insurance and then waited for over 30 minutes for the car! The car was still wet from being washed. It was cracked in the rear and the passenger mirror and the front bumper and the wheel alloy was also scraped. I have NEVER seen a rental car in such terrible scape! Even the gentleman who went through the inspection with me said it looked like it had been in a war. Who would rent that sort of car!!?? This is now 2 hours after I arrived at the hotel for my rental making me MISS my appointment at 10am. I returned my car after several days of arguing with customer service about the insurance charges and how I already had insurance and I wasn't told anything about it when I booked online. I was told that to see insurance terms I had to go to this website, click here then click here then click here. It's not exactly some place a customer can easily find it. And why would I need to when my online booking said I could waive the coverage? The requirements are not as clearly displayed as your company thinks it is. Now, fast forward 2 weeks after I returned the vehicle.... I receive an email that there was a charge from the Transport Department for the Dart. I was aware there may be a toll on one of the roads, and I was right, it is a 2.50GBP fee. I have no problem paying that fee as I was expecting it. HOWEVER, your company doesn't check daily to see if your customers have been charged anything on roads from the Transport Department, so the company charges my card the LATE FEE!! After the exchange I have been charged almost $75 because YOUR company is too lazy to do a daily check for road fees and tolls your customers may incur. What is wrong with this company!??! I should not be paying YOUR late fees! So now, I have been charges $472 more than I had agreed on! I have contested these charges with my bank. I agreed to pay $158 for the car and I agree to pay the Transport Department fee of $3.25. this is the worst company. A total Bait and Switch. Lure me in with a great deal online but because you are located away from the airport I can't just walk over to the next car rental company and use them. I was forced to pay for coverage (that I already had) and instead of speaking to me first about the charges 2 weeks after I returned the car you charged me for late fees that YOUR company should be responsible for. I have posted negative reviews anywhere and everywhere I can find a place to post a negative review, on all the pictures on the Birmingham Facebook page, Trip Advisor, Trust Pilot (and if I find other places I will post negative reviews there as well) You are liars and thieves. I want a refund in the amount of 365GBP ($472USD) Receiving a refund is the only way I will change my reviews and it's also the right thing for the company to do.

Turned away on two occasions after a half hour wait in the cold. Firstly because of the name on my card being slightly different to my booking name and second because I didn't bring two proofs of ID. I hire cars all the time and my license has always been enough. The first case was them wanting me to just pay the full insurance. Just don't use them. They give you an unrealistically cheap price so it's obvious one way or another you're going to get ripped off. You can't run a hire car business with those prices. Look at everyone else's experience just pay the extra and go to a proper hire car business.
