Poor location information

Excellent!

Upgraded on arrival, slight confusion over where to leave the car on drop off, but was able to speak to someone there even though it was early.

The staff at Heathrow failed to explain the cost breakdown leaving us to figure it out ourselves. We still don’t understand why the surcharge was higher when we opted for the full insurance coverage. The staff also failed to realise the car chosen has GPS installed and still advised us to pay for the external GPS device. Also the staff didn’t explain clearly the procedures of dropping off the car and the Postcode provided failed to lead us to the correct drop off point forcing us to ask people around us and hotel representatives to resolve the issue. Also when we had an issue with the car and called the hotline, it took a long time for a representative to pick up the call and the responsiveness was slow and the service was appalling as no one called back after seemingly a phone connection breakdown.

The car was in a very poor state, despite being told I was being switched to a 'newer car' there was a list of 7 elements of damage to the car on the original rental agreement. On inspection once I went to pick up the car, I found 3 other serious bits of damage to the car, 1 involving the lights that had not been noted. I have attached photos of these. On returning to the car rental desk (as there were no staff in the parking area), I had to wait for previous customers to finish their agreement before flagging up this damage and having my rental agreement amended by hand and signed. I have attached a photo of these amendments. I don't believe this car should have been rented and it had not been well cleaned in advance.
