Do not use Easirent! They place a excess/deposit of £1500 on your credit card without informing you. I advised I would not go ahead with this and was told my sum of £94.15 would be refunded by someone in the Birmingham Airport branch. They are now refusing to refund my money. Stay away!

Goodness me.. I wish I had read reviews before I booked with this company. I had to book a car at very short notice from Southhampton Airport. I was booking it the night before I flew and in a bit or a rush. After a quick google search this company popped up. I won't go into great detail but the long and short of it was I unknowingly booked through a 'Broker' It was not clear AT ALL. It was also NOT CLEAR that Easirent is NOT at Southampton airport but a 20 minute drive. When we arrived they had 'given away' the car - the reason for this was in my haste with the broker site I marked 10am for pick up, we didn't arrive until about 4 pm. So instead of checking the flight details I gave, they gave our car away... so now comes the first con.. We had to pay extra for an upgrade. Still trying to work out the extra cost of the upgrade we were then bamboozled by the insurance options, by this time we just want a car,,, but then comes the the fuel options..... We were coaxed into choosing the option of a full tank of petrol for our 3 day rental... then the next con comes.... literally as we're getting into the car we were told about the LIMIT of 100 MILES PER DAY. So a maximum of 300 miles with a full tank of petrol was never going to be used. So with half a tank of petrol we took the car back an were then confronted with a late charge of another £35. I'm still trying to work out how the £35 was calculated. I didn't have time to argue at the desk or investigate because I was worried I would miss my flight. I did however notice he wasn't going to give me a receipt for the charge until I had to ask. Even though we gave flight details and times of flight, even though our rental started at 4pm 3 days previously, staff member was not understanding in anyway shape or form, in fact he was rude to me. Saying it was common sense that if I booked with a broker from 10am - 10am of course I'm to be charged for late pick up. Never did he take into consideration that our rental started at 4 pm with a more expensive car upgrade. ( that was booked direct at the site) Yes, I made a mistake when I booked in a rush and I put 10am arrive and 10am depart - but come on. We paid for another vehicle, paid the upgrade, paid the fuel and now this... I will NEVER use this company again, purely and simply because the STAFF were MOST UNHELPFULL, totally disengaged, totally immune that going through 3 party sites is not at all obvious to customers. It's not something I do on an annual basis, as far as I was concerned I was booking a care through Easirent. The clue should be in the name! I think they are very misleading and not at all Easi. Renter BEWARE. Check everything. These people are ICE COLD. I'm going to now try and work out exactly how they managed to calculated the late drop off... I think I need some luck!

I would avoid the Glasgow branch of Easirent. They tried to charge me on top of my rental an additional £122 as the advice given by easirent customer services when i called to confirm i could hire without a credit card was wrong and apparently it was my fault. The so called Manager told me i was in the wrong for not contacting him directly rather than using the Central customer services number stated on all of their documents. Their attitude was horrendous and i felt victimised by the two staff working that day. After 10 minutes of their bully tactics to get me to pay the extra i refused and returned back to the airport without a car. Fortunately the staff at Sixt were pleasant and very clear with their pricing and managed at short notice to provide me with excellent service.

Dear Easirent and Opodo reservations team, I tried to collect a pre booked car from Easirent on 17/12 and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I also have very serious concerns that my personal information has been compromised. When trying to collect the car from them I was asked for my Licence, passport, bank card, national insurance number, HMRC correspondence, 2 bank statements, a pay slip, utility bills, a credit card and subjected to a credit check and also a sample of my signature. Of course I didn’t have all of this to hand and this was the reason they gave for not allocating me a vehicle. I checked the list of required identification and had more than the required amount with me. Every time I produced what was asked for I was asked for ‘something else. I have hired a car many times from various other companies and have never had such problems. After I was left stranded and robbed by you I had no option but to go to a more well known car hire company and was allocated a car in 15 minutes using my licence, a debit card and proof of address on my online banking app on my phone. Easirent are criminals. I’ve since read endless posts online about other people experiencing the same problems and they shouldn't be operating. The 'staff' are also vile and threatening .... I have already sent all correspondence and details of this scam by Easirent, to the police and the government's serious fraud office. Sincerely, D

Sat. 26th Jan 2019, Liverpool Airport. I presented at sleazyrent office on time, with all required docs to complete car hire contract. Fuel deposit taken, using credit card and 3 digit cvv #. Time to make the "security deposit" of 1500 pounds. This was a "chip and pin" operation; using the same credit card. I made a mistake in entering my 4 digit pin code. The card reader recognized this, declined the transaction and requested I remove my card. When I replaced my card, and repeated the operation using the correct 4 digit pin code, the reader informed me my credit card had been cancelled. I stepped outside the office and called Barclaycard. They told me that 3 INCORRECT PIN ENTRIES HAD OCCURRED, and as such their auto fraud software had cancelled any further chip and pin entries. The sleazyrent card reader had attempted multiple authorization of payments within the space of 2 seconds. As I no longer had a working credit card, I could not complete the car hire contract. 2 days later I phoned Rentalcars (agents who I booked with, and who sold me on to sleazyrent), and informed them of the fraud attempt. They said (suspiciously quickly) they would refund me the booking fee; made 3 weeks prior to the actual rental date. 9 working days later, I have no refund. I am fortunate to have been refunded already by Barclaycard. Me, sleazyrent, Rentalcars and Barclaycard all know exactly what is going on here; but the standard rules of business apply, so nothing will change. Credit cards don't get cancelled after one incorrect pin entry.

Try to sell me all of the extras - I politely refuse and I am given the 3rd degree ? Unauthorised charges appeared on my credit card.

I normally rent cars twice or three times a year through Europcar or Rentalcars and get perfect service. It seemed easier to just click on Ryanair’s offer of a car rental. What a big and costly mistake! Firstly we were left waiting at Stansted Airport in the bitter cold for a long time waiting for the courtesy car. Then we were told we had to take the extra insurance cover at roughly the same cost as the rental! I said that I never take out the Damage Waiver insurance and was threatened with the high cost of repairs to very minor damage. I refused and was told that if I did not take it out then I would have to submit my credit card and have £1,500 debited. I asked if that was the limit of my liability and was told no. And I was told that I would not get the £1,500 refunded until, probably, 10 days after returning the car without damage. It is long after the 10 days and I have still not received the credit! I have had my card 'verified' in the past should there be damage but never charged. Because of the delays by Easirent in picking us up and the remonstrations, our hotel was closed and I had to drive an unplanned 3 hours at 2 in the morning! We had a family bereavement and normally I would extend the rental but no way was I going to do that with Easirent. So: I drove the car from west to east and got the train back, taking all day! I will return to Greece by EasyJet.

Hired a van with Easirent in November 2018 - first time I had use the company. I arrived on time to pick up the vehicle, but the van was not ready and arrived over an hour after the agreed collection time. When I had finished with the van I called the company to find out where the drop-off point was (it had not been provided previously) and was told it was at an NCP car park and given a postcode. What they did not mention was that there are 2 NCP car parks at the same postcode - the first one I arrived at was the wrong one. I was in the car park for around 20 minutes before managing to phone the company again to confirm it was the other NCP car park. Nearly 3 months after I had returned the van I received an email from Easirent. It contained an attached 'final notification' of a parking charge notification from NCP and stated that, because of failure to act on the earlier notifications, the charge was now £100. The date on the letter was 19/12/18 with a payment deadline of 02/01/19. Easirent only emailed this to me on 28/01/19 - nearly a month after the payment deadline. To this day they have not provided me any information regarding the 'earlier notifications'. They have also charged me £55 as an 'administration fee' for handling the parking charge notification. They are now not replying to any of my communication to try to clarify the matter. Overall a very unsatisfactory experience using this company. I will not be using Easirent again and could not recommend it to anyone else.

Had to leave the office without a car as I wasn't going to pay the price for their insurance which was three times the rental price. I ended up going to Europcar and getting a car cheaper than what Easirent was with their inflated insurance scam, and I could leave a small deposit on my debit card. It's a shame you can't give 0 stars as that's what this rip off company deserves.

Went to pick the car up which should have been ready for 17.30 on Monday 28th Jan. Checked the car for damage and once completed the guys tried to open the bonnet as the car required washer fluid. After trying for 10 minutes and being unable to open the bonnet it was then decided that another car would have to used. This was checked by the light from a mobile phone with the assurance that all damage was on their system so if anything had been missed it could be verified. Upon returning the car on the 1st Feb, earlier than agreed, the guy who checked for damage went straight to the back of the car and found a scratch that hadn’t been seen when picking the car up. Bear in mind the weather conditions on the Friday where it had been snowing, so lots of spray and dirt so the back of car quite heavily coated in spray from the roads this was quite some achievement. At no time did he check the rest of the car. I was then advised that he would check their system to see if this scratch had been reported before. He couldn’t tell me whether it had been recorded but advised me that customer services would be in touch via email regarding this, and would advise if any money was to be deducted. No communication from Easirent but £270 has been deducted from my card on 2nd February.

Rude staff member, who is rarely at the desk and never apologises for anything. Arrogant, combative and thoroughly unpleasant. Literally the worst experience I have ever had renting a car anywhere in the world. At the Aberdeen branch.

Con merchants and fraudsters. Released a car to me at 10pm at night with Easirent employee using a mobile phone torch to do the precheck. Returned car within 17 hours having driven just over 80 miles later to be told I had damaged a wing mirror and would be charged £270! I have driven for over 20 years with clean licence and no accidents and there was no way I could have done this alleged damage given the route I drove and parked. Do yourself a favour and avoid these fraudsters and use a reputable company.

Never use Easirent at BELFAST INTERNATIONAL or any other outlet. They may be cheap but that is just a way of getting you through the door. Once there you are at the mercy of all manner of scams to get you to pay extras for fuel, insurance, fictitious damage etc etc. They will insist on ridiculous proof of address with utility bills etc as per the very small print and unlike all other car rental providers - as a way of extracting expensive excess insurance at £70.00 for two days? That's what they did to me. And the BELFAST INTERNATIONAL Easirent is a 20 mins drive off site by their van and they keep you waiting up to half an hour. Once you are in their office prepare to have your pockets hoovered!

dont touch this company - they will work out far more expensive than you expect. Dodgy as ...... cost me a fortune and I thought I'd not been charged when booked on line so paid in the office only to find there was an extra £180 to pay for insurance and they also had so many rules about filling the car up within 5 miles of drop off, having a receipt to prove it. Car service light was on from collection, booked a Ford focus, got a Renault !! small print says you pay for insurance but realistically aren't covered for even a damaged tyre of windscreen (that could be a no-fault chip etc), so you could lose upto £1500 from your pre-authorised credit card.... I took 40 picture of the car before driving it away and recorded every single scratch, chip, dent and scrape to alloys - I made it clear I wasn't going to be paying for damage I didn't do. Save yourself cash and hassle - go to one of the big boys who wont rip you off and will treat you with more respect. These guys need exposing and shutting down. They advertise cheap rentals but in reality that is definitely not what you get - and you get the headache that you could get scammed out of your deposit or more once they have your card details...... read the reviews and do the sensible thing

I recently made an online booking for a rental car + insurance with easirent.com. Once arrived at Manchester Airport, I waited for my parents flying in from another airport and rang up the company for pick up. I had to call 4 times before we finally got picked up more than 1 hour later. At the easirent office, an advisor set up a contract for us and made us sign on a signpad. There was no printed contract or cost summary. Having payed everything online when I booked the car, I was not expecting hidden costs. The advisor briefly outlined that there was a deposit to pay for fuel and in case we had an accident but that everything would be reimbursed once I returned the car. Having booked cars online before, I thought this was a normal procedure because a deposit is usually withhold at car collection. Only when I checked my email the day after, I found that I had been charged 487£! When I returned the car (4 days later), the manager gave vague explanations such as ‘I showed up 3 hours later than my plane landed which is why the first booking was cancelled and a new contract had to be set up’. After long discussion, I was told that the only thing I could do was to contact the head office the next day. While talking to other customers outside the easirent office, I realised that providing customers with dubious information to make them sign intransparent car rental agreements seems to be common practice. The customers said they were charged 300£ extra because easirent would not accept their credit card although apparently these cards were usually working just perfectly well. Our charges included, for instance, a 180£ fee because the lead driver and the credit card holder were not the same person. I specifically asked whether there would be extra charges for this matter twice (over the phone and in person) before signing anything and I was reassured that there were no extra costs. I was charged 100£ for upgrades that I had never asked for and honestly still don’t know what those upgrades entailed. I was charged 92£ for some extra insurance I had not asked for. The advisor told us about a 95£ fuel deposit which would be reimbursed if the car is returned full. We’re still waiting to receive the money.
