If you don't want to read my lengthy review, the shorter version reads “The worst experience of car rental ever. I always use low cost firms here and abroad, so I don't have high expectations. The upfront cost is cheap, but don't be fooled by this, there are other ways for them to make money. On return of the vehicle they found reasons to charge ourselves, the people in front and those behind for 'damage' to the vehicles. Coincidence? Please do not use this company” For those of you that like a longer read, my email to the managing director starts on the paragraph below. I had a reply from customer services, rather than him which was just a standard 'oh dear, never mind' response, as I had expected. My email I felt I needed to contact you directly regarding a recent experience with your company. The experience cost me nothing in terms of finance, as I have an annual excess policy which has subsequently paid me back the money I paid you for 'damages'. But it leaves a bitter taste. My correspondence is much more about the way I and my wife, as well as the other customers waiting to return their cars, were treated by your staff. Of course I could simply post unfavourable reviews and put this down to experience, but I would hope that, as managing director you'd want to know of and respond to, an unhappy customer experience. The problem started when on return of the vehicle we were told we were to be charged for a small tyre cut. I would ask you to note the following:- a) the tyres were not checked by staff at the time I picked up the vehicle. the staff member did a general check, including wheel arches, alongside my wife and I, but the tyres were not observed b) the cut to the tyre pointed out to us on our return was almost imperceptible to our eyes (see attached photo), so:- c) we questioned this with the member of staff who identified the problem who told us that staff were very experienced and knowledgeable in these matters and it was our responsibility to identify problems on collection of the vehicle. d) in which case, how could we 'inexperienced' car inspectors have been expected to note if the problem pre-existed? You really can't have it both ways. e) so, is it just possible that we had been given a car which may have already been damaged? f) to add to this the couple ahead of us and the people behind us were also charged for 'damage'. 3 in a row seems to be quite a coincidence. g) one of the couples made such a huge fuss about their 'damage' they were 'let off' h) my wife then followed on into the office to enquire why we should not be 'let off'. The member of staff was rude to my wife, basically saying it was tough luck because we'd paid the cost of the tyre already. He then, clearly exasperated, refused to speak to us any further i) I asked to speak with the manager who was apparently not present in the office j) had it not been for the need to catch my flight I most certainly would not have let the matter rest at that point. As mentioned above, we have excess insurance so, apart from the principle, it was not a problem. However the staff were rude to my wife and there was no manager on duty to complain to. I don't have unrealistic expectations about car hire companies as I normally go for smaller companies and cheap options both in the UK and Europe many times a year, but never with this level of customer service. Thank you for your time in reading this. I look forward to your response.

- A lorry passing car meant grit caused a deep chip on windsceen. Although we were worried by staff at first who said that the whole windscreen would be replaced and it would be expensive, the manager Chris who came out to talk to us was extremely helpful and approachable in sorting this out. He kept in constant contact. In fact it got reduced to just needing to fill the crack, which I really appreciate. I would rate his service as excellent. - Negatives are that I did not like the hard sell tactics used by a salesman when collecting the vehicle regarding the excess wipe-off, and bought an external insurance for £110 cheaper.

Every thing they are complete robbers. Hidden charges. That you are told about. Admin charges off £55 and then a £95 fuel charge that you aren't told about. Complete sham off a company. Stay well away.

Terrible experience, still ongoing. I rented a van from the Gatwick branch to move house, ended up doing some relatively minor damage (small hole in fiberglass), and reported this to the company when returning the van. I didn't take any additional insurance out, so Easirent took my full £1,250 deposit to cover cost of repairs. The repairs clearly wouldn't cost anywhere near that amount, so i was told i would be contacted over the next week with a quote for the repairs, and i would be refunded the difference between that and the deposit value they took from my card. Flash forward 4 months (yes 4 months...) and I have had no information at all from Easirent. I've spoken to branch managers, customer services, their repairs department, and god knows who else. I have no proof the repairs have been made, no invoice to show the cost of repairs, and more importantly Easirent still have my FULL £1,250 deposit without providing any proof that it's been used or needed to cover damage repairs. I am in the process of taking this through Trading Standards and the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association, as i feel this is the only way to move forward. Oh also - had to wait an hour for the van to turn up, and the office isn't at Gatwick airport it's a 15 min £3 bus journey away

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.
