HEATHROW AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

The service was enthusiastic, patient, and thorough. There was no pressure to buy additional services. The car pickup process was simple and fast, without wasting any time. The explanations were very clear. This is an excellent car rental company!

The staff was very friendly.

Renting a GPS device from the car rental company is relatively expensive. I reckon that we could buy a GPS for the price of a 7-day rental.

At the London Heathrow Airport branch, I was received by a lady who informed me that I had reserved a hybrid car (which is more expensive). I told her that was not the case. After typing on her computer, she realized she had made a mistake due to a name match. She then asked how many kilometers I planned to drive, and I responded that I thought the rental was unlimited mileage. She mentioned that based on my mileage, they could offer a discount on fuel, but I insisted on returning the car with a full tank. She then printed the documents for me to sign. I requested to verify each item and noted that there was an additional charge for super insurance, which I had already purchased through QEEQ, and it was clearly stated on the reservation not to upsell insurance. I pointed this out to her, and after some more typing, she reprinted the documents and retrieved the original ones. After picking up the car, I noticed that the inspection form indicated the car ran on diesel, but it was an Audi A3. Doubtful, I asked a security guard who politely suggested I smell the fuel tank, which confirmed gasoline. He double-checked with a colleague and confirmed that the document was incorrect. This was my first time renting from HERTZ and I hope this was just a one-time mistake.

The service was excellent, the introduction was detailed, and the car was very new.

Enterprise's service is good. I picked up the car at Heathrow Airport and returned it at Edinburgh Airport. During the trip, I had a minor accident while avoiding a lamb, and the front left of the car got scratched. I had to wait for the rental point at Heathrow to assess the damage, which would take a month. After returning to my country, I didn't know how to follow up on it. I hope it won't be too troublesome. Everything else was fine. The car was brand new and easy to drive. Choosing an automatic transmission was definitely a wise decision for driving in the UK.

The store is at the Holiday Inn Heathrow Airport. They switched the car I originally booked and wanted to charge an upgrade fee. This feels like a rip-off, very unpleasant experience. I will not rent from this company again.

1. The reception told me that a petrol version car could only go 200 miles on a full tank, whereas a diesel one could go 500 miles. They persuaded me to upgrade to diesel for 60 Euros. When I got to the parking lot, the staff handed me a beat-up 9-seater Volkswagen diesel. I said I had chosen a Mercedes, but they told me that was the only car available in the same class. I was scammed out of 60 Euros. The fuel cap of this car was broken, and it wouldn't close properly. Throughout my trip, many kind locals tried to warn me in various ways, including making me pull over on the highway. 2. Upon returning the car, I was told that I would be charged extra for exceeding 100 miles per day, which was not mentioned during the rental process. Luckily, I had a Chinese friend from the UK with me, and the staff waived the fee.

The waiting time was a bit long.

The store is about a 20-minute drive from the airport, fairly convenient, and the service is good.

Great

The registration at the airport was not bad, but the return experience at Luton Airport was terrible. There were barely noticeable scratches on the tire (scratches that no one would normally pay attention to and definitely wouldn't be checked during the rental process). Yet, they made me pay for the tire.

The service was great, they were enthusiastic in helping with car inspection and pickup. Not much different from domestic service.

The car was very new, the rental location was convenient, and the service was good. Overall, the experience was great. The only issue was that they charged £1,995 from my bank card when picking up the car. They explained that £1,500 was the insurance excess and £495 was another deposit.

Very professional. You can see this company's shuttle buses all over the roads in the UK, and their prices are cheaper than others. Highly recommend for the UK. They didn't push insurance sales either.

The order was messed up. The store initially said they would fully refund, but in the end, they charged me for three days. Are they that desperate for money?

Check-in at the airport counter, then take a shuttle to the store to pick up the car. This is the second time I've used Enterprise in the UK, and they are quite reliable! However, they don't accept the Enterprise driver's license translation template downloaded from QEEQ, they only accept notarized documents!

Hertz is located a bit far, but there's a shuttle bus which helps. I came from Terminal 5, the queue was short in the morning, and I got the car quickly. The service was alright, but they recommended too many things. You need to say No to everything, especially when they emphasize that fuel prices are cheaper than the market. If you ask whether you can get a refund for any leftover fuel, they say no. I almost got fooled. It's hard to return the car with an empty tank precisely. Also, after getting the car, carefully check its condition. I found a few scratches that weren't noted in the inspection report, so you need to inform them yourself.

Satisfied

The line at the London airport branch was very slow that day, and the Google navigation was inaccurate, which made me anxious when I couldn't find the drop-off point. Finally, I asked a local taxi driver and found it. The staff was nice, nothing unpleasant happened. It wasn't until my deposit was released today that I felt confident giving a fair review. 4 stars, it's okay.
