ACE CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN UNITED KINGDOM

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.

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...

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.

Like: Friendly service, easy pick up and drop off will definitely use again and recommend to friends

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!!

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.
