Made to wait nearly three hours in the cold to pick up the car. Simply awful.

About ACE:7.7/10
Being made to wait so long to pick up the car detracted from any positives like the car being brand new. Not a fan of mileage caps on rental cars so will think twice before using again. Pick up location is not at Heathrow airport.
“car boot failed so I had to call out AA and waste a few hours while they were unable to fix it”
About ACE:7.7/10
Counter staff initially told me I had no insurance and convinced me it was because it was booked as for US based folk and they had it on cards and did not need it. Luckily I realised that my booking said I had and pointed it out - I had passed over that info
Waited ages to pick up car. Wouldn't accept my credit card for the deposit, but would accept it to pay the 0 excess charges as a result. Car was good though.
1.Staff was rude.(Person at desk who's name is Ame,was very rude).
2.Each and Every staff person at desk are trying to force the customers to buy full protection insurance from ACE/GREENMOTION.
3.If the customers have bought the full protection insurance from other website at the time of booking online,they are asking us to call back and cancel that insurance and then buy with them at the desk. If you are not willing to,they would scare you with big numbers,big deposits etc.
4.Only if you buy full protection with them,and they suddenly act to be very kind and be polite to you.
5.Paid shuttle bus should be free as almost all of the rental cars at the airport is free of charge.
6.I had to wait almost for 3 hours to reach the front desk because of long queues and no one even cared if we are ok.
7.It would not take that long, only for the fact that each customer had to go through the same process of staff trying to up-sell their insurance and cancel the already booked insurance.staff are happy even if the customers are waiting outside for hours as long as the person at desk buys the insurance with them etc.
Dislike: Even though I booked for automatic car but they gave me manual as they didn’t have automatic at the time of pick up!!
