MANCHESTER AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

I wasn’t happy with the attempt to upsell me when I picked up the vehicle - I can only think the staff must be on significant commission if they achieve this. Only glad I picked it up, not feeling my sharpest after a long haul flight. Otherwise excellent.

All very easy

The car was returned with a very small chip to the paint of the drivers door, probably caused by another car door when parked. Europcar's damage invoice seems excessive for a defect so small it would not be repaired. I am uncomfortable with Eurocars ethics on damage so small it could almost be classified as wear and tear.

Thanks

Thank u

They gave me a very bad car and for 4 days i kept trying to change and they refused untill the car broke down on me and my family and they ruined my 2 weeks vacation, and they said u took it from a third party site, i will never rent from them again, specially sheffield ranch and its manager mr. Michael, special thanks to mr. Martin for the kind assistance

Perfect thank you

Counter staff were very friendly and helpful and offered me an upgrade to an automatic car but didnt tell me of the extra charge until my credit card was charged for this choice of vehicle.

The car smelled bad after being in the sun. Like smoke. After a few days into the trip, the brakes started squeeking. They worked, but squeely.

Would be good to highlight for americans that it is shift or automatic.

Europcar staff were really nice, very helpful and friendly . Very quick & efficient

Very good , would love to use again and would also appreciate a discount off price when booking again -maybe in oct.

Very clean. New

Great value and easy booking

mark on the counter was one of the most helpful staff I have come across in all the rentals companies I have ever used , he went out of his way to make it a very good rental experience, the pickup from the airport took a while but luckily I wasn't in a rush so I was ok with it but if I had have been it would be a different story. drop off meanwhile was great as the transport had just pulled up at the rentals place as I had finished returning the car

I would not hire from Hertz again. Upon pick up they tried to give a Small car but had booked an estate. Everything is extra. What sort of company hires out vehicles to overseas customers without a GPS , the extra per day was 21.00 pounds. Extra driver 11.00 a day. Terrible

We abandoned the car we had paid for before even getting to the counter as the service was so slow. We feared missing our return flight if the drop off was as slow. Staff fiddled about chatting to each other, answering what appeared to be cold calls on the phone while customers stood and waited. We paid £130 for a taxi to Chester and back when we had already paid for a car, that alone should tell you how bad the experience was.

Made a booking for unlimited mileage but was given limited mileage at check in. The proposed repayment of 1500 excess of 14-28 days isrediculously long.

Shocking, hidden charges awaited me at pick up. Wen't and booked Hertz in the end,

All Europcar staff are very helpful. the “flat tire” light went on on my dashboard. I called the customer service and they immediately directed me to a nearby garage and fix it. I have problem in finding the location to return my car. Called customer service again and they provided excellent guidance and solve my problem. Really like Europcar service. I like my VW Sharan. Very spacious which fit my requirement well. However, I think the car needs some maintenances as the engine has to be manually restarted a couple of times.

We rent cars at least three times a year and has done so for many many years. It was more then ten years ago we had a worse experience then this. And then it was in an developing country. 1: Quirky que-system and non working mandatory self service stations 2: Pushy staff trying to scare, lie, and bluff you in to taking extra insurance. For instance saying they had never herd of insurances through credit cards. 3: Pushy staff trying to scare, lie, and bluff you by not telling you actual cost if car damaged or stolen. Instead of talking about actual cost of about 1500£ trying to scare you with 18000£. 4: Pushy staff trying to push the “hire-car-fuel-scam” 5: Pushy staff trying to push on you a more expensive car. Car, car return and everything else was very satisfying.

The counter staff in particular Mr a Patel was very rude. I've emailed a complaint to Green motion regarding what ID is required. On their website & on the recorded information when you call the branch they state you only need a driving licence & proof of address, I didn't arrive on a flight. I had to return back home to get my passport a 40 mile round trip.

The wait was TWO HOURS to get the pre-booked and pre-paid car. It was baking hot and I had a baby and a small child with me. The staff did not acknowledge the wait or apologise for it. I made a note, whilst in the queue, never to use Europcar again. All other rental car providers had more staff and no lines. Horrible, horrible, experience!

Good booking platform. No problems.

Green motion takes a little long on pick up and they try to upsell unnecessary insurance. Vehicles usually good condition and price is competitive. Location is usually away from terminal at airports. Would use again of price is right

I was rather annoyed that we spent 2 hours waiting for a pick-up at Manchester airport and when I complained to the driver, he said, "No need for the attitude" !!!!!! The pick-up vehicle was full of young people who had no luggage and none of them picked up a rental vehicle and seemed to be friends of the driver, so I can only assume that the driver was picking up his friends instead of customers. However I must compliment Gina, the lady in your office, who was very understanding of my annoyance and went out of her way to assist and speed up the process. Thank you Gina.

There was a long queue at pick up and I had to wait over an hour to collect my car.

No problems at all.
