Returned a car to Birmingham airport had a nail in the tyre but was repairable was charged £50 administration and £50 repair. Contacted customer service which was a waste of time. Cheap car hire but stitch you up with administration fees.
I see there are many complaints about Easirent and wish I checked before as I was another victim of Debit card malpractice of this company as I was penalised for an admin charge five times the cost of the initial rental charge.
If you have been unfortunate enough to have booked with them, I have personally taken this case up with resolver at " https://www.resolver.co.uk/companies/easirent-complaints" who in turn will escalate this to British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association if you are not satisfied.
There are so many other competively priced renal companies that I use without having to be riped off my Easirent
My honest recommendation if you are reading this. Don't even go near to Easirent jsut because you could save few pounds. They are terrible and soon I realised I was arguing with bunch of Idiots. It was not too late when i saw another family who were in the same situation like me and ended up in brawl. Protect your credit card before it runs out of credit limits! I'm giving 1 start for this review because i cant post a review with zero star.
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They faked a traffic violation and charged me an extra $120. We have proof we were 120 miles away at the time of the violation and we still charged the money after we left the car rental company. Pure fraud!
For a three day rental from Easirent Luton you will be charged £30 for petrol with Easirent claiming that they fill the car from the local petrol station with £30 pounds worth and do not add on any extra charges. However, I found that for a Citroen C1 rental that they had only put £20 of petrol in the car! The petrol gauge at the start of the rental showed 4 bars and I drove until the tank was empty. I then put in £30 of petrol at £1.109/L (27.1L) when the petrol gauge showed a full tank with 6 bars. Easirent in Luton buy their petrol from the Farley Green Petrol Station (they confirmed this) on *******7884 for £1.16/L- and £30 should have bought 25.8L. Easirent have therefore conned me out of £10 and since I thought that there was £30 of petrol in the car initially I then bought too much when I filled up - I actually put in £10 more than I needed to. So really they should be refunding me £20!
I had been a long time customer of Easirent for about 3 years, renting from them every other week. After pre-ordering my car a month in advance, I arrived at the desk as usual, to be told that I had hired a car from them for more then ten times and would now be unable to hire a car from them. I was stunned to say the least. No one could help it it was basically well that's it, unlucky, so I was bundled back into their van and dumped back at the airport to try and find an alternative. Complained to both Easirent and the BVRLA, which if you go through the same experience, I'd advise you not to bother, as poking yourself in the eye with a stick would be more advantageous.
They try to let you have a more expensive car (diesel with navigation).
If u refuse you''l get such a car anyway, because they don't have the cheap cars at all.
Then they force you to buy a very expensive insurance. (2 or 3 times the price of the car).
I booked Easirent through Ryanair, full insurance included.
Easirent wanted a deposit via creditcard of GBP 1250,- otherwise no car.
Beacause it was very late we had to agree with the expensive insurance.
No more Easirent for us. Never!
From start to finish - Terrible!
Never again, stay well clear.
The pick up was late. No problem, only 15 minutes.
I booked the cheapest car with the intention of upgrading. The only upgrade was a Mercedes which was way out of price range so I stuck with the citroen. No problem. Then they requested my credit card for insurance purposes. I did not have the pin number. This was a huge problem. My debit card has more than ample funds to cover an accident. I offered to pay with the debit card but was told this is how everyone does it, if i pay with debit i will incur extra insurance costs, more than twice the original agreement. So I had to contact my credit card company. Set up an online access where I can obtain a pin. This took around 45 mins to sort out. Then I'm asked for DVLA proof online of driver endorsements. Good job I have a UK licence and Internet access. They said they could do this for me but would cost more money.
Lastly. And I still have the car, they charged me 30ukp for fuel. I'm always sceptical with this stuff. I drained the petrol tank on the car today until I was experiencing Kangaroo syndrome. Then put 30ukp of fuel in the car. I would say the original amount of fuel in the car was around 20 quid.
They have every trick to make a quick buck. Cowboys. Please pay the extra couple of quid and use a decent company. These people are not trustworthy
Booked a couple of times with Easirent Preston, and it was Easi and simple, Vans were good quality and we got service with a smile even at 0800 on Sunday morning.
Lot's of hidden charges that are not explained, mentioned or highlighted when renting (as example - 50£ fee for processing a fine if you lucky to get one) that can zero your balance even if you have 100% full insurance.
The worst!
La peor experiencia de mi vida.
Después de reservar un coche para dos días en Edimburgo y pagar por un coche de categoria B, me asignaron el coche con menor categoría que tenían y no me explicaron nada ni siquiera me ofrecieron una compensación. Dado que teníamos prisa y compromisos, salimos y a la vuelta y devolución en perfecto estado y con el depósito casi lleno (cuando lo recogimos con medio depósito), hice una reclamación a la empresa.
Después de hablar casi a diario con el señor que se encarga de mi caso, he visto que se ríen de mi, dado que no me han devuelto nada (ni la compensación, ni el depósito que tuve que hacer de 1400 Libras). Como digo, he hablado en muchas ocasiones con este señor y todo son excusas y perdones, pero mi dinero no vuelve y me siento estafado, por lo que me he decidido a hacer críticas negativas en las redes sociales y a denunciar el caso a la oficina del consumidor de mi localidad en cuanto me sea posible.
El señor que atendía mi reclamación me dijo que tenía razón y que me iban a compensar en un plazo de 3 días (han pasado 5 ya y no tengo noticias) y ayer me dijo que no sabe por qué razón no he recibido la compensación y tuvo la desfachatez de preguntarme si había recibido ya las 1400 Libras cuando no es así y estoy seguro de que él sabe que no lo he recibido (porque no ha sido capaz de presentar ni una triste captura de pantalla ni ningún documento acreditativo de que ha llevado a cabo este paso).
Me siento estafado, engañado, utilizado y robado, así que les recomiendo que no confien en esta compañía absolutamente para nada. Ni son profesionales, ni tienen palabra y su atención es PESIMA.
LA PEOR EXPERIENCIA DE MI VIDA.
I have never had any problems with any of the car hire companies and I've rented a car in several European and American countries. Although we had the full insurance, they wanted approx. 1500 EUR deposit on my credit card for a Citroen C1 for a 4 day rental! Since my credit car limit was lower than that, we finally had to pay approx. 100 EUR per day for the smallest car ever. The staff was rude and unhelpful. However, the two French girls whom we had met had an even worse experience than we did - they had sufficient funds on their credit card and the Easirent staff just pretended the card is not working. One of the girls spent 2 hours talking with her bank and they reassured her the credit card is working properly. They also had to pay additional fees and finally had to sleep in their car the whole trip since they spent so much on the car. Worst people ever, STAY AWAY!
I've used several car hire companies in various cities and they've all been pretty consistent. And then I rented with Easirent (via Atlas Choice).
They AREN'T based at Heathrow Airport, but in an office at the Sheraton, so a bus ride is needed from the airport.
I'm surprised The Sheraton isn't losing patience as Easirent customers are hanging out waiting ages for their car - we were told they only had 2 drivers that day, whatever that meant. This is peak season (end of July).
The staff were all joking around (together) but not pleasant to customers.
I was told our car was new that day in a way that I was meant to be grateful or something. On return, some scratches were noticed on the plastic wheel trim and I was treated like some kind of criminal for 'damaging the new alloys'. Total cost £250, for a £16 wheel trim.
Vile people. Terrible service. Feels like a scam.
Pay a bit more for a reputable company - it'll be less in the long run.
My central complaint is that i was accused of having damaged the car,
But i have not.
The details: By picking up the car was not clean. By checking for
Scratches, damages etc. i and Customer service representative could see
Some small scratches around the car.
These damages were small so i comply to NOT WRITE UP. This was a big
Mistake!
By dropping off the car another member of your staff blamed me
Scratching the car on the right site. He spoke very unfriendly in local
Slang language even he knew i am a foreigner and nearly unable to
Understand.
I tried to explain, that the scratches were already exists by picking
Off the car but he won't absolutely not discuss.
Whatever, i was forces to pay 235 pounds or loosing my deposit of 1500
Pounds, so i payed.
This is not a respectable car rental company. They are a scam! If you have booked and prepaid, they will try to avoid giving you a car on the day (for any possible reason) and refuse to refund you, and if you end up taking a car from them they will rip you off upon returning it. Although they may seem cheaper when you search online, when you turn up to collect the car you end up paying for the fuel and authorising £1250 on your credit card or paying for no excess, and things just add up. Employees are rude and seem more of a rough aggressive bunch than "professionals"!
I have rented cars many, many times in the UK and around the world, from companies like (Sixt, Enterprise,...) and I've never had any issues. I made a MISTAKE and decided to try Easirent Edinburgh Airport. Their office was not with the rest in the car rental centre at the airport, it was a shed in a parking lot 10mins bus ride away from the airport. I had my passport, 2 proofs of address, a credit card, a debit card, an international driving license (in English), and a prepaid booking. Despite that, when I got there they refused to give me a car (small automatic) because my license does not detail any "restrictions". This is the same driving license I've always used everywhere else. And when I asked for a refund, he said he cannot guarantee anything and advised me to e-mail customer. *******@easirent, which I did 9 days ago and no reply. I was not the only unhappy customer in the office that day, everyone seemed to have a problem.
They cost me a lot of time, effort, and money. A total inconvenience.
AVOID AT ANY COST
Rude, obnoxious, cheats! All words to describe this company never again will I have dealings with them. Tried to charge us an extra 138 pounds after paying 42 pounds(not including the deposit). Office was in a garden shed approx five miles from the airport.
We had used Easirent Car Hire for our stay in Scotland and never again we will use their services.
From beginning to end, very unhappy with their service.
We had sent a written complaint and despite their 7 working days policy for answering, we had not received any acknowledgement after 14 days although we had sent a reminder too.
Poor Customer Service.
We just had to end our holiday early because of this company

Answer: To whom it may concern, This is the complaint letter I sent to those whom I thought could help my wife and I solve an issue that we found to be Very troubling. It involved an employee at the Jacksonville Easienrt, specifically the manager named Franky. Priceline Booking Number 202-281-644-38 Easirent Reference Number 1863754 Easirent Wally Park, Jacksonville, FL airport We went to pick-up our rental on February 15th, 2020 and had all the information we were told to bring (credit card, drivers license). The young man, Franky waiting on us, informed us we needed proof of our auto insurance which we did not bring because we were not asked to bring it. When we challenged that he informed us that local rules can require them to ask for proof of insurance. We have Erie Insurance and at this time on a Saturday they are closed and not open on Sunday. The manager, Franky, said we couldn't have the car without proof of insurance. We told him we would call and give them that information on Monday and he said ok. Then he blindsided us about the in-kind coverage on our credit card which we thought we had but would check with Bank America, his response made us feel threatened and also taken advantage of. Again, none of this was mentioned on any of the documents. It was hard to understand Franky at times which only made the situation worse so my wife took over. Once again, we were told we couldn't take the car without the proof of insurance, which also was never mentioned on the paperwork. My wife explained we would call them on Monday with the information so the charges that we paid extra for, would be taken off once that information was given Franky and that would be ok. We signed off and waited for the car, which was not what we asked for. It looked like the worst one on the lot and the windows were very dirty and very hard to see out of the windows because of the stickers on the side window. On Monday, as promised., we called Erie to get the information for our insurance and also Visa to make sure we had the in-kind benefit. Both of these services were to be taken off our bill once the information was suppled. Called 1-888-901-5121 on Monday the 17th twice, once busy and 2nd time hung up on after we told them we were calling with the information they needed. Called again Tuesday the 18th and kept getting busy signals. Not only was this a terrible experience initially, but customer service once they knew why we called, decided to hang up and not answer the phone after they saw the number. Thankfully, the return went smoothly and very glad the person who waited on us was helpful. The rep at the desk upon return, Dasha, informed us that all she has to do is ask for proof, if not available then it would have been accepted, that being two adults in there 70's would have insurance.
Answer: I want someone on the phone from Easirent to explain to me why they aren't the fraud they clearly are...
Answer: They tried to charge me an extra £120 on arrival to upgrade as they'd run out of cars of the booked class. Argued and argued but they only threatened to call the police to remove me from their office. Had to pay £55 for a taxi and wasted an hour and a half.
Answer: Depends on the size but i was about £27 each for just a 2 day car hire. And i had to fit them both myself! What a company.
