Awful experience

The car should have been fully inspected before I arrived and any damage noted rather than making me do the inspection and risking missing something

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.

Car, staff and value for money all excellent. Far too long to get the car-1.5 hours is unacceptable in my opinion.

Yes all was good.

Told by counter staff that my prepurchased excess insurance was null and void, Forced to buy insurance over the counter with Aaron stating that I would be liable for a £40k car, and any damage that was not reporterldnto the police and had a report... the insurance doubled the overall rental cost. Next, when being shown to the car assigned, it was not roadworthy, engine warning light & oil service and inspection light were showing on dash. Car was filthy both inside and out, not prepared or ready for collection in any way shape or form, so given all the warnings that Aaron had highlighted to me I point blank refused to accept this car. I was then offered a lesser model at a discount of 95pence! This car was 1500 miles away from needing a full service, it had not been cleaned, the staff member (Aaron) did try to sort this out, hoovering the inside and topping up the wiper reservoir with water (even though the conditions were sub zero temperature!) he also topped up the oil. The collection took over 1.5 hours and I left feeling angry, ripped off and not at all satusfied with my experience. It also caused me to be late picking up my guests from the airport. I’m not at all happy with any aspect of the rental from arrival at easirent to return of vehicle to them.

Great car and helpful staff, would have been nice to understand the insurance process better before I arrived.
