Excellent experience, will definitely use again

My family are standing on the bus shelter for about 45 minutes. The company did not have a vehicle big enough to take the two adults and four small children. After waiting to get the car I was told I had to have insurance otherwise I was not going to get a car. I have hired cars from all around the world this is not the case. I explained I had an insurance policy that didn’t seem to matter despite showing him my certificate. The car had a great big dent in the side of it. Fortunately I took photos of the car before I collected it. The representative Aaron told me it doesn’t matter because I have insurance. I explained to him the dent already. He was not interested as I had insurance. There was one member of staff trying to run a business give lifts and answer the telephone. Absolutely terrible.

I ordered a 7 seater with 4 cases, when we arrived, we couldn’t even get out passengers and cases in the shuttle to the car hire place hence 2 x trips back and forth to the airport. The car did have 7 seats but no other space, I did ask to change the car during the rental period, but was told there were no other cars available. We were pushed to up sell extra insurance and told that our ‘protectmyexcess insurance’ wouldn’t cover bumps on private land (car parks) and given examples to get us to buy the policy, not the worst car hire, but also not the best!

Booking platform was perfect

Extremely pushy on upselling insurance. I do a lot of driving and hire a lot of cars yet even I was beginning to question whether I might need extra insurance. It was not a pleasant experience and other people less confident or who couldn’t afford the excess would have been scared into buying it and increasing the cost to five times the original price! I would rather pay more to one of the “big” companies who accept ‘no’ to do I want extra insurance and not worry about the car the whole time I had it. I was told that it would be, I think around the £100 mark plus £75 for every stone chip... I was visiting friends for an enjoyable weekend not having to worry about the state of the roads, the road to the pick up place is a joke! Not again. Not for me thank you.

To be told had to purchase extra excess insurance was unfair as we had already purchased it via the booking to be told It wasn’t enough was ridiculous

The service was fine. The car was electric/ petrol.. and the fumes that came from the car was terrible.. causing both myself and my friend headache and very sort eyes. Had to drive with both windows slightly down, even thro it was raining. Mention this when returned the car and was told they couldn’t do anything about it. All I was told that it was being returned the next day..
