LONDON CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Overall, it was a smooth experience. They tried to upsell a higher model and insurance, but after learning that I already had full insurance from QEEQ and experience with renting cars abroad, they didn't insist. It's understandable as it's part of their sales process and shouldn't be taken too seriously. We didn't get the Grandland but were given an equivalent MG ZS with over 10,000 kilometers. The 1.5 engine felt a bit underpowered, but it was manageable with the manual transmission and generally sufficient for the speed limits in the UK. Overtaking was a bit challenging, but both cars are probably of similar quality. No extra charges for returning the car so far. To ensure peace of mind, take photos and videos of the car inside and out before picking up and returning it, keep the gas receipts, and you should be fine.

The personnel at EUROCAR's airport reception were very friendly and even upgraded us to a Passat station wagon. The car handover staff allowed customers to inspect the car themselves rather than accompany them, unlike in our country where the condition of the car is confirmed together. This poses a significant risk. I checked the tires, doors, and trunk and agreed to take the car, but didn't notice some shallow but long scratches on the hood, which led to some disputes and complaints when returning the car. However, a bigger issue was with the tires, revealing problems with EUROCAR's service quality and management processes. We safely drove the car for three days, didn't use it on the fourth day, and on the fifth afternoon, we had a tire pressure warning on the highway. With children on board, I drove to the nearest store for inspection and was told it might be due to weather and just needed air. After inflating, the warning came up again the next day, and we went to a store near London for another check. The store sent the car to the nearby Kwikfit repair shop, and an hour later, I was told there were no issues and to trust the professional mechanics' judgment. However, the warning appeared again the next night. This time it was at the Worcester Euro Car store, where an employee thoroughly examined the tire and found a tiny puncture, marking it with a marker and directing us to a nearby repair shop. It turned out the tire also had a bulge on the other side, necessitating a replacement. If not replaced, a blowout on the highway could occur anytime, risking our time, money, and most importantly, our family's safety. Throughout this, I kept QEEQ informed but felt their influence on the car rental company's response and efficiency was limited.

Very satisfied

I booked a Volkswagen Tiguan but received a plug-in hybrid Suzuki Across. The car had only 2000 miles on it and was quite new. The space was decent, but the small battery made it impractical for charging at public stations, so I had to drive it on fuel only, which was noisy but seemed fuel-efficient. Unfortunately, despite confirming with the staff at return that there were no overtime charges, the fuel tank was full, and the car was undamaged, I was inexplicably charged £20. I also did not receive a final invoice explaining the charges. It has been three working days since the platform sent an inquiry, and I have yet to receive a response. During pickup, there were 4-5 upsell attempts, but the staff awkwardly explained that they had to ask the customers due to system prompts, which I understood. I despise Europcar's system for this.

The service was enthusiastic and the attitude was great.

Satisfied

Picked up and returned the car at London City Airport. Several rental companies are all together. The staff was very humorous, the process was quick, they confirmed identity, then found the QEEQ booking in the system. They showed the car condition report, and after confirming, I signed and paid a £300 deposit. Then they gave me the keys to pick up the car.

As always, I'm satisfied with QEEQ. This time they gave us a brand new Skoda. Although it's manual, it's easy to drive, spacious, and adequate.

Very good

Unhappy with AVIS service. They downgraded my reserved C-Class Mercedes to an A-Class just because I didn't have two credit cards for the deposit (one card suffices in other European countries). They didn't even refund the price difference. Ridiculous!

The counter staff were easy to communicate with, no upselling, smooth car pickup.

Overall experience was great. The car provided was relatively new and equipped with L2 level driving assistance, making highway driving stress-free.

Satisfied

This is not the car I booked at all. They gave me a small car that couldn't fit my luggage. They asked me to pay extra to upgrade to a bigger car, which I didn't do. So they gave me a manual car. This is ridiculous.

Picking up the car was very smooth, no waiting time, everything was fast. The car was quite new and it was a hybrid, which was very fuel-efficient. During this trip, I only refueled once on the last day when I exchanged the car. Quite remarkable.

Pretty good. I picked up the car on the second day from a location just 10 minutes away from my hotel. The process was simple; I only needed a credit card and driver's license. They also asked for a translated copy of my driver's license. Overall, it was a good experience.

Very satisfied.

Very good, no issues at all.

Excellent

The car rental service was decent, but the vehicle was in poor condition. The first car they provided was very dirty and had already driven over 60,000 miles. While driving it, I realized it was too large and too tall. We kept searching for a 7-seater car in every city but couldn't find one. Each branch said they could only check their own inventory and not other branches'. They told us we had to call other branches ourselves to check availability.
