“This is not a car rental business, it's an insurance rip-off.”
About Easirent:2.0/10
After being hustled to take extra insurance, I was told that if I didn't take some form of expensive top-up insurance, they would hold GBP 1500 on my card. If any issue was experienced with the car, even as small as a tyre issue, they would take the full GBP1500.
“Disappointing behaviour from Birmingham staff ruined the experience.”
About Easirent:5.0/10
I’m still not sure what’s happened but I was informed by the rental agent and the car washer that I needed to pay them £135.00 to fix a chip on the windscreen, which I disputed. They wouldn’t let me leave the building until I paid. I explained that they had my details, they should write to me with evidence of any damage but they intimidated me into paying and actually said they wouldn’t let me leave until I had paid! I’ve made a customer service complaint and sent a picture of the clear windscreen. If it’s not resolved through the complaints process, I’ll move to a letter before action.

About Easirent:6.8/10
The first vehicle we were given had stained seats and the passenger side bumper was lose and falling off. We returned the vehicle the next day and were treated with professionalism and courtesy. The agents provided us with an upgraded vehicle that was like new. We appreciated their kindness, understanding and responsiveness to our needs.
If you follow the small print of your hire agreement everything will be fine, if you don’t expect to part with more of your money if you want to take the car!
“Cheap, but offsite, and a challenging rental process.”
About Easirent:7.7/10
First, you have to find where to wait for the shuttle. It’s not obvious, and calling Easirent just took me through a phone tree and then no one ever answered-rang forever. Tried twice. Then you ride to the pickup spot with a somewhat surly driver, about 10 minutes. Then you wait in a very long line, with only 1 customer service agent, who is snippy and telling everyone they have to have proof of EVERY DETAIL of their personal auto insurance. Your card isn’t enough- need to show comprehensive, collision, and liability in detail, or they won’t rent to you. THEN you wait 15 minutes for a teenager to retrieve your car. And then you can go on your way. Car was nice and clean, at least.
The booking system did not seem to work well at all and they couldn't process the paperwork properly. Most problematic was the damage deposit, which is not a "hold" as it is with other companies, but was instead a charge, which would then be refunded. This is problematic when dealing with another currency as there is an exchange difference in a refund versus a charge which costs us money. When we complained about this we were told "its company policy" -- of course, why wouldn't it be? -- and then that our alternative was to pay $60 per day. It's just wrong. When checking out I asked to have a copy of the posting so I could be sure that it would be refunded, and I got some paperwork that did not show any amounts.
“I was forced to purchase insurance even though i already had it doubling the cost.”
About Easirent:3.7/10
I had to take a shuttle to pick up the car. When i showed up they forced me to purchase their insurance even though i already did with my own insurance company at a fraction of the cost. This almost doubled my cost and was told they won't shuttle me back to the airport to go with another company. They also wouldn't allow me to rent for 1 day so i could find a better price elsewhere. I have rented with other companies and used my insurance many times. Other companies may cost more at booking but do not have these extra fees. I will never use this scam company again.
More staff at the counter (there was only one person) would have shortened the wait. A street address would have helped the sat nav find the drop off location. £1800 hold on my credit card for up to 28 days is excessive and will stop me from using this company again
Took a very long time to get the car. The guy on the desk kept sales pitching to get the person in front to upgrade. It was extremely frustrating.
Also on the paper work it said to go to a different pick up address, wasting my time walking around while it was raining
The reason to wait over 60 min. to pick up the rental car, due by the clients holding up time too long with easyrent customer services staffs. I do not know if the clients did not have enough ID to provide, that was the reason I stayed on line for 60 min. When my turn to be with customer services staff, it took only 10 min. done for my rental car.
The counter staff member was rude and offhand. I also found him to be evasive and somewhat shifty.
He did not have the mini car group which I had booked- suggesting that we might wait some undetermined time for a late return or offering us a 9-seater vehicle instead.
He then insisted that I was required to give a £2500 credit card deposit which he said would be held for 2 weeks- this larger deposit due to the fact it was a larger vehicle than I had booked.
There was no offer of compensation for this mistake and no acknowledgement of the extra fuel that this vehicle would consume at my expense, or of the difficulties in manouvering this large vehicle in traffic, etc.
Even in the light of this failure to supply the pre-booked vehicle, I felt this was an unneccessarily adversarial encounter.
At the pick up point in an underground car park 3 blocks away the final check and release was conducted efficiently and courteously. This also was true for the return check and sign off as 'all fine'.
