LANZAROTE CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

I think you get what you pay for and it was very good value for money, however there is a very hard sell that you need to take out their insurance despite that we had taken separate insurance. You also have to give a credit card with a Euro 1000 deposit as I did not take the insurance. Also the fuel is a slight of hand and you will pay £22.50 for returning with a full tank ie which is still a cheaper option than returning empty. Car had about 20 points of damage which I had to record before taking the car, at the time I was picking up the car it was late at night and the car parking was poorly lit so it was difficult to access the condition of the car. I moved to a better lit area and took photos.

Less time spent on trying to get me to upgrade insurance.

Counter staff was nice, Car was easy to find, spent about 15min getting the car, Only down side was they wanted me to find what was wrong with the car (felt like i was doing there job) so did a video, photos and also on the sheet, car had quite a few scratches and scrapes that needed to go on the sheet this should all have been done by gold car. Car was average clean.

budget / avis believed car was not full to fill fuel policy. Had to persist and show the print out. A little frustrating. Also car needed a service and had a fault gearstick.

Counter Staff was rude and utterly unprofessional. New terms and conditions were introduced and, to be precise, imposed at pick up (e.g. while 300/500 deposit was agreed in the booking made online, 1100 were held at pick up, not to mention other airport and operations fees not disclosed at booking stage). They also tried to sell an additional insurance policy of Eur 200+ - despite I made clear that I had already bought total coverage ("0 waiver") at booking stage. Needless to say, first and last time I rent from this company.

bad

Wait to be seen by staff was close to 1 hour and then found subsequent to getting home that there were additional charges that i paid that should not have been there. Would not use again.

I had purchased excess insurance prior to travel, but had communication problems at the rental desk. Although I eventually realised that my credit card was scanned for insurance & fuel deposit only - I presumed I was being "charged" for these services. I was therefore reluctant to hand over my card. It would make sense to have this explained to me prior to travel or on an information sheet at the rental desk

Car condition sheet was incorrect - unfortunately I didn't notice this at the time of pickup. Still hoping they don't try and pin the damage on me...

Hard to find as not clear that Budget and Avis were the same thing. Could have been made clear by EasyRentCars.

I ll give 5* for Orlando. Only thing it was difficult to find the shuttle bus for me. The car was clean inside and quite new. We highly recommend it. Thank you

5* company! Definitely use you again! Highly recommend it! Thank you

Like: Very simple process. No hassle picking up or dropping off so very quick.

The price was very cheap. So cheap that you would think how can they rent a car at this price and make any money. But the English woman at the counter was not very nice. She didn't smile once and all she did was tell me how much I was liable for when I turned down the insurance. And then tried to tell me I needed to have an international drivers license and I would be fined if I was stopped and didn't have it. This is not stated in their terms and I have rented many times in Spain before with no issues. So they were very pushy and not very nice but in a way it was worth it because the car was so cheap.

Complete rip off - had paid a good/fair price through easyrentcars but then was stung by insurance at Budget. £3k premium to pay for ANY damage to the car with fire/theft cover or large daily amount to pay in order to waive any possible fees. No other options.

It wasn't obvious which rental agent would be dealing with my rental - turned out to be Avis, after asking at another counter at the airport.
