Exorbitant insurance rates almost quadruple hire cost Whilst the staff are friendly and helpful the same can't be said for the company and their policies. I couldn't remember the pin for my credit card and was told that I would have to take easirents insurance. The hire cost was £29, a little bit cheaper than the bigger companies so I decided to give them a try. I had rented a few weeks earlier with europcar and they had quite happily accepted my debit card for the holding deposit. The easirent staff informed me that they weren't willing to accept a debit card deposit and they would require £75 insurance fee for the 36 hour rental. My first and last experience with easirent in future I will stick with europcar
