This was the worst experience I've ever had. I kept getting harassed by the receptionists of Indian and Pakistani origin, while the car rental service kept shirking responsibilities. 1. They aggressively pushed for insurance, and when I declined, they started finding excuses. 2. They demanded my return flight ticket. When I showed them my itinerary from the airline, they claimed they couldn't read Chinese and refused service without a return ticket. When I called the rental service, they said they couldn’t resolve it. I had to barge into their manager's office, and only then their attitude changed and they processed my rental. 3. They claimed my Visa chip card wouldn’t work, and said if I used a magnetic stripe card, I’d need to buy full insurance, stating that the insurance from the rental service wasn't valid. When I called the service again, they still couldn't resolve it and instead suggested I contact the bank and mentioned we should have opted for a bigger rental company, implying they don't guarantee smaller ones. I had to barge into their manager's office again to get the issue resolved. Meanwhile, others in my group at a different counter had no issues. What problems can the rental service actually solve?

Very unprofessional

book in advanced and the price is very reasonable

Excellent service

The whole thing was a little duplicitous for me. They advertise the car at one price (£38) but when you turn up there is a compulsory insurance that makes the price of the rental completely unreasonable. I normally rent with Sixt but wanted to try this to see what it was about. The rental with Sixt was smooth, efficient, friendly and for the same car ALL in was £78 (different weekend). The rental with Easirent was average and inconveniently located (at best) and ALL in was £135. I don't mind a little inconvenience as a trade off if its better value or the service is out of this world but to be downgraded in every way and pay way more for it was a little surprising. Thankfully I had also read the small print in the contract and noticed the completely unreasonable requirements that they stipulate you require when turning up.

I am absolutely disgusted with the service from Easirent, who conned me into signing for insurance that was not explained to me. I had already purchased insurance from Easyrent and instead of asking for a deposit they took more money out of my account for further insurance without explaining the terms to me. After realising the next day that money had left my account, I called them and they just blamed Easyrent and said that they should never have sold me insurance?!
