The bottom line is if you want a hassle free transparent rental company DO NOT CHOOSE EASIRENT. Their business model appears to be designed to obfuscate the customer and relies on a plethora of hidden and hard to understand charges (think Ryanair but worse). For a two day van rental I paid an extra £100 I wasn't expecting to pay and for things I've never had to pay for with any other rental company. I picked up in Crawley and dropped off in Glasgow and at BOTH locations the agents were defending the extra charges to irate and confused customers. In the Crawley branch the agents were even bartering with the customers, dropping x% off the charges for arbitrary reasons ("because you didn't know i'll take this down by 10%") which suggests the numbers are plucked out at random. In the glasgow branch an agent was explaining to a customer she was fleecing "I'm just doing my job" - not good enough. The agents need to take responsibility for the business model they're representing. While I'm sure what this company does is legal it's up there with pay day loan companies in terms of ethics. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!! And no, not interested in speaking to your customer care team Easirent.

Easirent Birmingham Shocking customer service. Wanted to charge me £60 for an automatic as was the only car they had left due to me being an hour late to my booking. Said in terms and conditions if an hour late then car could be reallocated. Asked them for t&cs but no mention of this...still wanted to charge me

Terrible company. They are cheap for a reason don’t fall for it. If you don’t take their extra protection, they charge you hundreds for damage that was already there. Make sure you document and picture, video every dent and mark on the car. Cowboys

Do not Rent from This Place! You have been Warned! I would give 0 stars or less for this location if possible. There's a reason why this place only averages 2 stars and I hope you don't ignore the ratings like I did and waste two hours at this horrendous place manned by rude thugs who try to coerce you into taking their numerous onerous policies to try to make up the cheaper prices they offer compared to most car rental companies like Europcar or Hertz. The company goes through what I would describe as a three step process to try to make up for the difference in price compared to other companies. 1. When we arrived at the location, we were initially spoken to nicely by a man at the counter who asked us for the usual details. He asked us if we wanted to take insurance on the car, and we replied that we had already booked full excess insurance through the agent Rentalcars.com. He proceeded to keep telling us that third parties insurers only pay out 27% of the time and we should take the company's insurance . We politely declined. He tried to scrutinise the existing policy we had taken and seemed disgruntled that he could not find any fault with it. 2. He then proceeded to ask us whether we wanted to take their fuel policy. The fuel policy of the company, which was not reflected on my online booking through rentalcars.com, is extremely onerous and while they do not force you to take the policy, makes it hard for you not to do so. One of the many onerous conditions attached to their fuel policy was a. Car must be refuelled within 5 miles of the return location. b. Car must be refuelled within 1 hour of the return. ( WHAT?) c. The company would take a deposit ( does not accept mastercard, electron, debit card), and if you choose not to take their fuel policy, their may be additional bank charges and interest which will be borne by you. d. Charges may be taken without notifying you. e. All the conditions attached to their fuel policy must be adhered to otherwise you may potentially lose your deposit. 3. After declining their insurance and fuel policies, he then proceeded to tell us that the car that we had booked was no longer available as they usually hold the car for two hours. As it was according to him (23rd of July 2018), the first day of their so called summer season the company could only hold the rental for one hour. As our flight was delayed he said that the company offered three options. We were either to wait 1 and a half hours ( potentially more) for our car to be available, top up additional £30+ pounds for a an estate wagon, or were offered a small Ford Fiesta which we could not obviously take as we had numerous luggages ( why I booked the bigger car in the first place). When we tried to explain that the flight was delayed and we wanted the car that we had originally booked, he simply shrugged off the matter and said it wasn't his problem. We were tired from a long flight and just simply wanted to get our car and move on but this guy started getting really threatening in his demeanour and we decided that we could not rent from this company that day. I have spoken to staff at Avis and Enterprise ( where I went after), who said these fuel policies were ridiculous and that the 23rd of July wasn't some so-called first day of summer. Of course, what you pay for is what you get in terms of service. Don't expect to get a similar level of service you get from higher end car rental brands. For one, I personally knew I paid a cheaper price and I didn't expect the same level of service. But I don't think that you deserve to be plagued with so many hidden costs and onerous policies that simply try to make up for the difference. Save yourself the hassle of the thuggery, rudeness by their staff and frustration while on vacation. I took the time to write such a lengthy review so you don't make the same mistake I do. You have been warned.

I live in Spain and I came over to the UK on the 12th May 2018 for a visit, I originally planned to stay for 2 weeks, as I arrived late on the 12th, I arranged to pick up a hire car from Easirent Manchester Airport, on the 13th. The hire period was 13th to 26th May 2018. I did not take out their insurance as I had my own, however they held £1,250 on my credit card in case there was an issue with the car on returning it, I was happy for them to do this. During my visit, my son on the 18th May was rushed to hospital with a life threatening condition, called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. This was a traumatic time for the family. Because of this I had to extend my stay and prior to the hire period ending, I telephoned Easirent and extended the car hire to 31st May. My son was in hospital for nearly 3 weeks and I spent my time at the hospital with him as he needed constant help. Then when he came out his condition was such that he could not be left alone and I therefore had to extend my stay again. This meant that I needed to extend the hire period again, I contacted Easirent and was told that I would need to pay another £104 for an extra weeks hire. I explained the situation to the gentleman I spoke to, and I asked him if there was a cheaper way of doing this as it was costing me a fortune. He very kindly did me a deal whereby I returned the vehicle in my possession and picked up a new car for the period 31st May to 7th June and that this would cost £66. During the conversation I was asked about insurance and I told him I did not require insurance as I had my own insurance. He was happy with this and confirmed the details by email on the 30th May, he also took a deposit for the new car hire. On the 31st May I returned the original car and then I went to the reception at Manchester Airport's office to sort out the paperwork for the new vehicle. The gentleman I spoke to at the office, told me that he would have to block another £1,250 on my credit card for the new vehicle, I told him that was fine as there was funds available on my card. He then apparently went into the back room and spoke to the manager, he then informed me that his manager had stated that I could not have a car unless I took out their insurance. I was distraught, in tears and panicking as I needed to get back to the hospital. I therefore had no choice but to take the insurance out, otherwise I would have been stranded, with a seriously sick son in hospital. The costs then escalated to £273. I felt the staff bullied me while I was in a vulnerable position and that I was being held to ransom, this is not the way to do business. I had insurance, I should not have had to take out their insurance or be threatened by Easirent. I have put in a complaint, which has subsequently been closed by Easirent, without being informed of the outcome. I have left numerous messages for the manager at Manchester Airport to contact me and to date he has not spoken to me. Do not use this organisation!

Worst hire company I ever used - and shamefully I've used them more than once - yes I should have learnt the first time- low list prices- then everything to realise additional revenue. Is it company policy or is it Peterborough depot trying to improve returns - I really don't know but be sure to avoid Peterborough branch. One driver reqd- had to pay for 2 because booked by another. Kerching add £140 for 14 days -reduce the massive deposit by better insurance kerching add £154+ - light marks that should polish out - 3 panels - 2@£185 each 1@£95 and 3 * admin charges @£75 each 1 for each panel. Really !!!!! Admin charges not covered by the hard sell insurance and none of the damage covered by insurance. We use car hire companies all over the world and this is the worst depot I have experienced anywhere - I'm sure its all in the T&C but these are used like a weapon to increase revenue. Avoid this business at all cost - a 14 day rental headline price £310- add £140 un required additional driver - add insurance £154 and this was lowest cost offered at collection - add £465 questionable repairs - doubt the car will visit a paint shop or have a mobile repairer caress it - add £225 admin costs ( unbelievable) Low base price £310 - - high end cost £1294. Definitely don't let the staff know you need to be somewhere else - I needed to get to the airport and had to balance missing a series of planes with the ransom charge to get out of Easirent office. Avoid at all costs

Truly appalling. Waited more than half an hour for the bus from the airport, the driver then locked us in the bus in more than 30 degrees of heat while he went in to a hotel . The rental is miles from nowhere. Finally arrived to find that my drivers licence, passport and numerous emails confirming my address we’re not sufficient, very rude man suggested I was a thief ( or might be) . Shocking customer service, horrible people.

NEVER EVER EVER book with Easirent! What a bunch of scammers! I booked a car and paid online. Called to say I was running 10 mins late for collection the next day and was casually told ‘there’s no vehicle’ ... ‘call customer services maybe they will send you to the airport’ ... (in what exactly? A flying effing saucer?!) I pushed and pushed and eventually they agreed to get the car for me but without so much as an apology! 2 hours late I collected the car, making me late for collecting my mum from the hospital - the whole reason I had hired the car in the first place! Was made to pay an additional £84 at collection because in my haste I’d forgotten the pin for my credit card (because I was running around stressed after the car wasn’t available!) They gave me the car with no petrol and after I questioned this was told ‘don’t worry it’s like for like, bring it back empty’ ... only to get home and realize they’ve charged me £95 fuel deposit. For what, exactly?!!!! The air in the empty tank??? I’d also even charged £324 and when I called to find out what that was made up of, no one had a clue!!! Returned the car 4 days later... Received refund of £95. After a letter to head office, a phone call to the branch, several emails and phone calls to customer services... I STILL don’t have a refund for the £240. (£324 minus £84).... it’s now 9 days since I returned the car. Staff are rude, patronizing and frankly couldn’t give a stuff about their customers. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Easirent Luton. All seemed to go well when collecting the car. Until two month later... Used two cards, issued by two different banks from two different countries when collecting the car (usual stuff, additional insurance, deposit blocked for fuel or whatever, they speak about it in such a way that I bet no one understands what they are actually paying for), one of the cards was issued specially for this trip and has not been used since. This was the only place I used both cards and actually let them go off my hand and handed it to the worker. Within past two weeks both cards were used to make some online purchases, one for around 100 GBP, the other for around 800 USD, but only 204 USD went through, the rest was blocked by the bank. All reported to bank fraud team, easirent, rentalcars and of course police. I was told by a bank worker that such fraud usually works this way - they wait a couple of months before using the card details so that you do not connect it to when the details could have been stolen. I wouldn't if not for the fact that easirent Luton was the only place I used both cards, let them go off my hands and one of the cards has not been used ever since.

KEEP FAR AWAY FROM THESE DAMN MONEY THIEVES!!! Never made such a bad experience with a rental car company like this. I could write a long bad story, but here the negatives summarized: Long wait times to take the car from the branch office Manchester Airport. This was due to lengthy and insistent negotiations with each client about an additional insurance (1 out of 3 proposals) to reduce own risk. I said, I do not want any insurance, just my maximum risk of GBP 1250. That maximum risk was not just reserved on my credit card, but really booked-off. This deposit amount was not booked-off in GBP but directly in EUR, which is disadvantageous for me (lost EUR 60 for this). I did not get any receipt of the transactions (also a fuel deposit of GBP 95 was booked-off, which I got paid back soon after car return). I would not complain here in this forum, if I would get paid back that deposit of GBP 1250. On car return nothing was checked on the car and no papers were signed. They sent me away. When I was back in Germany I had a lengthy message exchange in their ticket system. This conversation was characterized by fobbing-off and ignorance. In the middle of this conversation they wrote that my deposit refund had been rejected for unknown reasons, of which I was not even informed. Today, after SEVEN WEEKS since the car return I have got my depost of GBP 1250 paid back on my credit card. KEEP FAR AWAY FROM THESE DAMN MONEY THIEVES!!!

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! We had a totally abysmal experience with this company in Southampton. Made us pay extra insurance, made up that we had left a tiny scratch on the car (that was already there) and now going to take our deposit. First of all, I and three other mums with young children were left for around two hours in Southampton airport waiting for our husbands as the guy who drove them to Easirent locked himself out! They all then had to argue that they had already paid insurance. Despite being sure I had paid insurance when prebooking we were charged an extra £124. Today, when we dropped off our car every customer in the waiting area were shaking their heads, looking stressed and one woman was screaming hysterically and crying. Again lots of arguments about whether insurance had been prepaid. One man had returned quickly after hiring his car, to explain that he had found a mark on the car that wasn't noted on his document. No doubt they would have tried to blame this man and con him out of money for it if he had left it back later. They did this to us. They are now holding on to our £100 deposit 😢 Don't go near this company. They are complete crooks!

Totally appalling car hire firm. Bandits and cowboys spring to mind - after paying for car hire in full and informing them of my 7hr delay, they demanded I pay an extra 126 pounds because the car I had booked was now not available - they only hold this car for 2hrs max! Conveniently for them the only other car available was an extra 12 pounds per day! Oh really! That's funny. So my 'upgrade' from my originally booked Ford Focus or similar, was a Honda Jazz!! Just to add insult to injury you see! When I made an official complaint, they didn't want to know!

Absolutely disgraceful daylight robbery. They will tell you the insurance is mandatory because you are using xyz card or you are 39 and 3 months or you bite your nails. THey will find a reason to not let you take the car without their expensive insurance. Once you return the car they will find damage all over it that you didnt do. They need to be reported. They are crooks.

The worst car rental company. They're thieves and would charge your card for damages that never happened to the car. I've rented multiple times before but never had a worse experience. Extremely rude staff, no customer service, they don't care about you and would misuse your card details and deposit. Unfortunately I didn't read a lot of reviews beforehand and paying the price now. GUYS - PLEASE DON'T RENT HERE - YOU'LL REGRET LATER. I was charged £225 for a small scratch on the tyre that existed before I rented the car. Branch Manager (Stansted Airport Branch) - Marius and the Customer Service Team now avoid taking my calls. SCAM COMPANY. Once they have your deposit and card details - you'll be charged a lot more than the rental price. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM EASIRENT.
