ERSIRENT at London Heathrow Airport (KV) took advantage of the language barrier. Despite repeatedly showing the printed statement from the rental service about not needing additional insurance, and stating in English 'I have all cover, no need other cover!', the staff didn't mention the £1250 deposit option. When I repeatedly confirmed if the three charges were all deposits, I got a confirmed response that 'ALL will come back to me.' However, when I returned the car, the staff said this was a charge and wouldn’t be refunded. They maliciously upsold the insurance. Essentially, I rented a car and ended up with two full insurance policies, costing me significantly more than usual. This has caused me substantial financial and mental distress. Customer service is handling it, and I hope for a good outcome.

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?

Would never use this company again

car is cheap; but car is in poor condition. one tyre slow leaking, one mirror case missing.

Quick polite and friendly service.
