CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ACE IN LONDON

Like: The car, the staff
Dislike: I didn't get an Intermediate SUV or Nissan Qashqai but a Citroen C3.

Like: Superb vehicle over our expectations. Kind people at drop off point and in transfers.
Dislike: Transfer time hight -not a lot of information about schedule in airport point-. Too many time at the office before final car pick-up.

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.

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.

Friendly staff operating the shuttle from the airport, at the desk and at drop off. Whole process of pick up and drop off very easy. The staff at the pick up desk did try and fairly 'hard sell' of their local insurance products and made a few misleading statements about the full coverage insurance products I had paid when making the booking with Easyrentcars.com. This made us feel a little uneasy when leaving the pick up point that may not be adequately covered. once we arrived at our destination though, we double checked the insurance documents we had previously been sent and we reassured that we were adequately covered. That being said, we will certainly use both Easyrentcars and ACE again in the future.

I have rented cars online many times. Your site was not clear about CDW and I was required to pay for collision insurance that was not neccessary. The car described was a 4 door Fiesta or similar. The car available was a 2 door Fiat 500 - similar in that it had 4 wheels. Attempts to call Ace from pick up location (Green Motion at Gatwick) failed. A very disappointing experience and one that will not be repeated. The efforts to upsell type of car were annoying clumsy.

Never be late for pick-up. I thought since I paid the deposit, it wouldn't be a problem. But when I arrived, the order was canceled, the BMW X1 was not available, and the price had changed. I had to switch to another car at the last minute, which was extremely expensive. Don't even know if the deposit will be refunded. It's really frustrating to communicate with them. Also, the waiting time in line was extremely long...

Like: The Customer Service Advisor Danielle provided excellent service and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend Ace Rent Cars/Green Motion because of her. thank you very much Danielle.
Dislike: Long waiting time to pick up but mainly because customers did not find out about company's policy before collecting car.

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.

Average

Waited in line for 40 minutes, very slow. The most bizarre thing is, it was my first time in the UK, and they claimed I was on their blacklist and refused to rent me a car. I ended up using my friend's name to rent instead. When returning the car, they pointed out a very small dent and demanded £200. Such minor damages are easy to miss during pickup. After a lengthy argument, they finally dropped the charge. I bet the next person will get scammed too.

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!!

Terrible service, terrible service, 1. Upcharge Step One: They didn't give us the car we reserved, only a model they deemed similar. Then they insisted our luggage wouldn't fit and tried to make us pay an extra £100 per day for a bigger car. They wouldn't even let us test it out, claiming we would damage their car. We were two women, four 10-year-old kids, and six pieces of luggage. 2. Upcharge Step Two: When we refused to pay extra, they still wouldn't give us a car. They finally relented and offered a slightly larger car for £100 more per day only after we insisted we would rather rent another smaller car for £100 per day. 3. Upcharge Step Three: They only accept credit cards with chips. The registered driver didn’t have one, so using another person’s card would require adding that person as a second driver, costing another £100. 4. Upcharge Step Four: They insisted we buy their insurance even though we repeatedly stated we already had full coverage from home. They said they'd need to hold £800 as a deposit. 5. During the car return, despite the rain, they inspected the car multiple times until they found two tiny scratches for which they demanded compensation. Even after we wiped off the marks, they insisted there was a dent and charged us £810. 6. They provide a free shuttle to pick up the car, but you have to buy a bus ticket to get to the airport after returning the car, wasting time. 7. The entire staff seemed to be Arab, which was very concerning. 8. Strongly recommend against renting from this company! Always go for a major rental company instead.

Waiting in line to get the car wasn't a problem, but when I said I didn't want to buy collision damage insurance, their attitude turned a bit sour. They kept persuading us to buy various extras, which we didn't appreciate.

1. If you don't buy insurance from them, you'll need to pay a deposit (around 20,000 RMB). 2. Be sure to inspect the car; any pre-existing minor scratches will be counted as your responsibility otherwise. 3. There's a daily limit of 95 miles; unlimited mileage costs around 8-10 pounds per day. 4. When calculating the cost, they overcharged us by 50 pounds, and reclaiming it requires contacting their company. We haven't received it back yet. 5. The final amount you pay will definitely not be what you initially saw on the rental site.

They forced us to buy an add-on fee that wasn't insurance. The American couple next to us had the same issue. The rental company said it was because ACE is an American company. Even after seeking help from QEEQ customer service, it was useless. After negotiating for over an hour and paying an extra RMB 300 to get unlimited mileage, they finally gave us the car. The actual rental was from Green Motion. I advise everyone to avoid these two terrible companies!

Very low efficiency and not enough staff.

Everything was good except for the long delay to pick up my car. 2.5 hours wait isn’t acceptable, taking 40 mins to book people is crazy. You need to address the issues when renting to foreign drivers.

Great very easy to use
