I wanted to put 0 but there is no option for that. This is the worst hire company I have ever used. It was prigionaly booked through Eurocar who washed theire hands of the compliant. I picked up the car from gatwick, pulled out toward the roundabout, in the car for about 5 minues and the clutch went. I had to have a recovery sent to get me as i had to pull into a side road. I was then charged £1700 for misuse to the car which was taken from my card without prior warning or the option to get a quote. I have gone through all the comlaints prcedure that I can but to no avail. I will have to take this further myself through the courts. I under stand from a number of reviews i have read since that this is a common issie with easirent - but I had only checked the Eurocar reviews as thats who i booked with. Its a complete fraud to pay for their fleet. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY

I don't normally leave reviews but this rip-off outfit are the most unprofessional disgraceful set of thieves I have ever known. I will keep this brief but their rates are a scam to lure you in and their policies on every aspect of rental from forced (if you want the car) insurance, to upfront fuel full tank selling, to extra charges for practically everything you can imagine in their smelly flea pit offices and rude, ignorant dirty looking staff. Absolutely disgraceful. AVOID!!!

As with many reviews about this terrible company I was also ripped off by Easirent. Booked online with my Debit card cost of hire £156.73 for 10 days, when I arrived to pick up the hire car I was charged an extra £242.83 for Full Cover as I only had a Debit card raising the price to £399.56 which I reluctantly agreed to as I needed the car. The staff at the Heathrow desk are rude, I gave my paperwork to guy at the downstairs desk and he handed the paperwork back to me without saying a word and went outside to check another car? he then came back in sat down and without even looking up just said next. Do not use this Company they are only out to get as much money as they can from you.

My bad experience with Easirent car hire started with having to take a public bus to the Easirent car hire branch in Gatwick which only goes approximately every 45 minutes. The bus driver charged us £3 each for the journey. No information was given as to which bus to take either and we were told afterwards that it was supposed to be free but we were not refunded. Our flight was delayed and hour an a half so when we arrived at the desk we were told that our car had been given away and would have to pay for an upgrade or wait 2 hours for another car to come in. Obviously I had no option but to accept. I was then given a car with a broken windscreen which I refused and eventually got another car which smelt of cigarette smoke. Later I realised I had also paid in advance for my original car I booked on line so Easirent was legally obligated to keep the car for me for the full duration despite my flight been late. It's pretty obvious Easirent are only concerned about increasing their low rental charges in whatever way they can when customers arrive at their desk. Stupidly this was the second time I rented a car through Easirent.......you'd think I would have learnt a lesson by now !!!

They made me very happy assisting me through the booking process in chat (James) in a very professional and efficient way. Good service in general, nice cars, very friendly staff. I used their services multiple times, never disappointed, always all perfect, with nice surprises like free unexpected upgrades, discounted additional driver and so on.

Do not rent from this company!!! The guy at the desk was the most rude and unhelpful person I had ever encountered in a customer "service" situation. Where to start? - Sneaky charges for driving the vehicle in the Republic of Ireland - Extra sneaky and apparently mandatory insurance "you are required to take this or we won't let you take the vehicle' - Class of car I booked not available and not even an apology from the person at the desk - easi rent? Really? Nothing easy about it! I thought I was going to have to do a retina scan or give them my dna map or blood before they would let me take the car These people are glorified insurance fraudsters who happen to rent cars. This is the most sneaky, dishonest and unprofessional bunch of crooks I have ever done business with.

DO NOT HIRE FROM THIS COMPANY! They are fraudulent, thieving and morally bankrupt. They will charge you as much as they can get away with. They charged me almost 4 times what was originally booked! I am in the process of disputing the transactions with my bank. Don't let this happen to you. Here’s what happened: When I made the booking, it didn't quite trigger with me that they wanted a credit card rather than a debit card. I did read the fine print, but even so, it sounded quite normal to require a bank card, drivers licence, passport etc. This had never happened to me before, having successfully hired cars in the UK before with my debit card. But because I didn't have a credit card, they insisted - company policy - that I purchase an additional $0 excess insurance plan called 'RELAX'. So this just about doubled the cost, which I reluctantly paid as I had already paid for the booking. Then when we returned the car, they noticed a really really tiny chip in the windscreen that I had not noticed. They said that the insurance policy did not cover the windscreen, and said that I had to pay 110GBP to replace the windscreen. I refused to pay such an excessive cost for what was an 'act of God' - not in the slightest bit my fault - and an incident that occurred through normal usage of the car. I found it absurd that if it were not covered by the hire company under general wear and tear or maintenance, that it was not even covered under the expensive insurance policy that I purchased. What sort of an insurance policy is that!? In addition, the initial damage checks were conducted in the dark, and in the rain, and could have easily been missed then. So it could have been there the whole time! They deducted the 110GBP from my account in the following days without my consent. And it gets worse. A whole two months after this frustrating experience, they deducted a further 112GBP from my account for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL. No contact with me, nothing! This is theft. I've had to cancel my card.

Collected car Saturday morning to travel to Sussex for an event on Sunday - Had an accident on Saturday evening, impossible to get answers from ANYONE, pushed and pulled around from pillar to post with everyone saying something different. Spent ALL of the event day trying to get answers. Ended up having to stay an extra day as the car was in a dangerous condition and started again on Monday morning - resolved, so we thought and were told that a recovery truck was on it's way to recover the car and get us back to home. Just after 11 am AA arrived to "check the vehicle over" more nonsense ensued until we were told to take the car to the easirent offices in Gatwick and that a replacement car would be issued. NO CHANCE that too was a lie. Rude, and unsymathetic staff took back the car, would not issue another so we were abandoned in Gatwick with a car load of photographic equipment, two dogs and ourselves. THEN they said we could drive our damaged hire car home!!! AA technician was flabbergasted and said it was a death trap. It was the AA guy who sorted another car through Peugeot and Enterprise. WHAT A WEEKEND - an extra night stay in an hotel, missed business meetings on Monday and we eventually got home at just after 5 pm - 24 hours later than we should have. Bunch of baboons and that's being polite!!!

What can be said about Easirent that hasn’t been. If not from them giving you dirty cars, with scratches everywhere, to the rudeness of their staff, who openly slag off their regional manager. Or maybe it’s the none existent customer services, who make being patronising an art form. Or maybe its watching them falsely tell customers that their excess policies by third parties aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. My personal favourite is that they close complaints without dealing with them, and a regional manager Graham promises to call back, then does not and when you chase, you’re advised you’ve misunderstood. A special shout out to Janice and Margaret, who certainly make the customer experience unpleasant. Overall this is by far the worst company, with the poorest and rudest way of fobbing you off, and consistently ensuring they give zero f**ks about you as a customer, in fact will actually by the end of it blame you for the experience. It’s like watching the Chuckle Brothers run a business, it’s that much of a comedy. Go elsewhere, pay the extra as these people will try there best to fleece you!

We arrived at Belfast International Airport 10:30pm at night and no shuttle bus was waiting to collect us. We made our own way to the premises to find a closed metal gate at an industrial site in total darkness. We then had to to return to the airport and hire a separate car. Despite calling the company we had no response on the night and have since complained on their website. They refused to accept any blame, stating we should have made our way through the dark industrial estate to find them. They also refused to accept any responsibility for not contacting us. Janice East, Head of Customer Services then sent us a response which gave inaccurate information and shut the complaint case, rendering us unable to reply. Totally unacceptable service from an extremely poor company. Will never use or recommend.

We booked Easirent as it came up on the easyjet website leading us to believe they were recommended by Easyjet .We had 2 elderly in our party, when we landed we rang to assure we would be collected. After walking to loading bay 7 as advised, we were told 5 minutes until we were collected. We waited for over 45 minutes for a small shuttle bus to finally collect us. During the paperwork we were told you have to add the insurance. They hold a deposit on your credit card of £1250 and give you the money back if nothing happens to the car after two weeks.To avoid this we bought their insurance and ended up paying £115. We dont have credit card limits of £1250 so forced us to accept the smaller insurance option of £115 which is not cheap!The drop off procedure was the same, after handing back the keys, we waited for over 20 minutes for the shuttle bus back to the terminal, throughout this time panicking about missing our flight!An absolutely shocking service & company would never use again.

You get an incredibly good booking service and a very competitive rate, which lures you in, thinking that this family run business is excellent... and then you get charged for damage you didn't do! I know it's the responsibility of the renter to check for damage at the outset, but a slight bulge in a tyre can't be seen easily, especially in the dark with a pen torch (and with a baby in tow, and with it being minus 3 degrees, this is even harder) - and so the morality of this company is all wrong... and it doesn't cost £250 for a new tyre! I just hope the person before / after our rental didn't also get charged £250, as "immoral profits" can soon rack up for Easirent... looking at Companies House website, it looks like immoral profits are racking up, as turnover increased from £13m in year ended 30 Nov 2015, to £20m for y/e 30 Nov 2016 (with increases in profit too). This is borderline fraud in my view, and will not be recommending to anyway - I caution anyone looking to save money by using Easirent, it is a Cowboy outfit.

They overcharged for rental then reversed charges x 3. still claimed late return and charge an addiitonal day - disputing it through my credit card company as i have a signed return form from them and we had flown home by the time they say the car was returned. They are scammers!!!!!

It was supposed to be a very cheap and affordable car rental, but I ended up paying much more. I would recommend not to use this company when hiring a car. I recently had a trip to Edinburgh, rented their car for 3 days. While dropping off, I am 100% sure everything was ok with the car as I did the last check before handing in. I went into their office to complete the drop off procedure and hand in the key. So, I was at the reception and my wife was in the waiting room and this is where I went wrong. One of the staff said he is going to check the car and asked me to stay at the reception. I should have gone with him as when he came back he said there is a cut in the front car tyre. I should have also taken some pictures beforehand to keep it as a proof and this is where I went wrong again. So, now they have taken £250 from my credit card to buy a new tyre. I think this is how they manage to run their company by scamming their customers. Thank you easirent for giving us an unpleasant memory trip to Edinburgh!! P.S I repeat do not hire a car from easirent!
