Our journey into Edinburgh was way behind our schedule (airline problems). Changing the pick-up time to a later hour was very, very easy. That was much appreciated!

There was an unexpected charge that wasn’t noted when I booked and paid for the rental online, months before our trip. It was for licenses and fees as well as a premium location tax. None of which was noted at time of booking but added another £15 to our rental cost. Other than that all went well with the rental.

Quick and easy pick up and drop off. Car was clean and ready to go.
Great service, got the car I reserved. It was clean. Note that if you have CDW insurance coverage on your credit card and plan on using that (and not purchasing theirs), you must provide the written proof from your credit card company upon picking up the car. Otherwise, they won't rent their vehicle. They're also off site a few KM away from EDI airport. They have a free shuttle, but you must allow an extra 30 minutes in your plans especially if you return the car and fly out. Knowing these details will make your experience much better.

Dropping off the car after hours no one let us know that we needed to pay an additional fee. Also, we had to drop it off at a nearby gas station, however the attendant there had no idea what we were talking about. After arguing with him for ages, making us late to get to the airport, he finally contacted his manager who explained the car return process to him and we were able to drop off the car.

We had to delay our pickup of our rental car since the streets were all blocked off in Edinburgh (due to the Queen at St. Giles Cathedral). The gentlemen at the Easirent Edinburgh were so easy to work with and really understanding when we had to make changes to our plans due to the Queen's presence in the city. When we finally picked up our vehicle on Wednesday, the process was smooth and they had it all ready for us. We had a great experience with Easirent.

Beware of mandatory insurance costs which they do not tell you about and you only find out after your credit card has been charged. Will never use Kayak again.

This car rental branch will pursue even the tiniest scratch that would be considered normal wear and tear at most locations. Though their initial price may be cheap, do not be fooled as they will get their money on the back end. I was charged 365 pounds for one scratch less than an inch in length underneath the bottom frame of the door and a scuff on the boot from pulling suitcases in and out. I also witnessed two other customers being given the same shakedown treatment for damage. My worst car rental experience in 35 years. I feel sorry for anyone who has an actual damage incident. I will be escalating my concerns with Easirent corporate and the appropriate authorities.
Alamo was great. No high pressure sales pitch. We were able to quickly pick-up and drop-off the car.

Everything went smooth and the people were very friendly and helpful. They made sure the car was perfect before I left and that I understood how to work the controls. Be sure to ask because some things in Europe aren’t intuitive such as reverse or opening the gas tank. Overall my experience with them and the was wonderful
Great. Had vehicle for six weeks; no issues Easy in and out. Courteous and knowledgeable staff

We had to change our drop off from Gatwick to Heathrow do to the airline canceling our flight and then rebooking us to fly from Heathrow... Avis accomodated...but for an added fee. Since Avis has a car rental site at both airports, a no added fee to drop off at a different airport would have been appreciated - particularly as we had no control over the flight change... Other than that - we were quite happy with our experience with Avis.
Enterprise team was extremely professional, especially Natalia who explained everything so patiently and in detail. Amazing team, amazing service and exceptionally high level of reliability of cars.

Mediocre|Jun 2022
The night before I was expected to pick my car up I received an email stating that the car would not be on site at the scheduled time the following day and no time was given. I called the car rental company the morning I was supposed to collect the car as the email they sent the day before was after hours so there was nobody manning the customer support service. When I spoke to a representative they continued to state that they Did not have the car I ordered available and at that time there were no other cars to select from.. Approximately two hours later they did provide a car although it wasn’t the car I had initially selected. The delay cut in to our travel time as we was scheduled to drive to another location that morning but did not leave until the afternoon due to the delay in receiving a car.
Awesome help from the staff. John was incredibly friendly and helpful in getting us the right rental, and made himself available through the week for any questions or help we might need.

Will never rent from budget ever again. I was blamed for damages that were already on the vehicle, and it’s taking forever to get ahold of an actual human to discuss and share the time stamped photos I have to prove it.
