15 Car Rental Brands at Manchester Airport (MAN)

This was second time I used this agent. Counter staff explained about the car situation. Although the car condition is not perfect good, counter explained to me that it functions well. The problem is only about the appearance. They marked all at the paper which didn't cause me any trouble when I returned the car.

The car rental service was very smooth for more than a month without any issues. The car was in good condition, and the navigation system was also good.

Staff very helpful explaining the breakdown of the cost and not pushing to buy additional insurance. Gave a discounted rate to upgrade from Peugeot 5008 to Volvo XC60. No regret for the upgrade.

It seems there are hidden charges as I was charged over three hundred pounds more than the rental fee. I am currently requesting a detailed breakdown, but have yet to receive it.

The car had some lights that came on intermittently on the dashboard which staff said were due to a sensor. I would recommend this get fixed, there were no issues with the running of the car.

The car was as expected but the counter staff were not. They tried to push me into extra insurance. Which I didn't need and indicated I could not get the car unless I agreed to the insurance. After I contacted customer service it was resolved. Not what you need after a 12 hour flight and need to make an appointment.

I paid extra for a SUV or similar. I got a small 5 door Kia Stoic. This is NOT a SUV, various excuses were made. Take it or leave it but no refund. Paid for was a SUV to seat Five, that would be impossible in the provided vehicle. I returned the car three days early due to there being no parking available at the Hilton Carlton nor any parking available less than a thirty minute walk to the hotel. I went to the Edinburg airport (EDI) at approximately 7.30pm, no one at the rental return area. Closed at 7.00pm. There was no indication as to where to park, I took a wild guess. I photographed the interior and exterior. I went to the airport and asked the agent what should I do, answer, where I parked should be fine and throw the keys in the drop box. Over one week later, NOTHING. No contact, no email saying return was complete, no offer of refund for several days early return, NOTHING!

The wait was TWO HOURS to get the pre-booked and pre-paid car. It was baking hot and I had a baby and a small child with me. The staff did not acknowledge the wait or apologise for it. I made a note, whilst in the queue, never to use Europcar again. All other rental car providers had more staff and no lines. Horrible, horrible, experience!

Overall, it was efficient. However, they did try to upsell at pickup. I booked a Mercedes but was told I needed to pay extra for an upgrade, otherwise I'd get an Audi. They also repeatedly mentioned insurance and fuel. To get the car quicker, I agreed to their fuel option.

Everything was quick and convenient. I took pictures of a few blemishes prior to driving the car but this was unnecessary. A very good experience!

At the end of it I feel like I’m walkinh into a trap set by Europcar after enticing me with attractive discount. Even after paying for full coverage using QEEQ platform. The counter staff refuse to recognize and insist that I have to took up full protection with Europcar. The rate for Europcar protection is almost same as the car rental. End up I have to pay double. Upon returning the vehicle, they charge me extra 1 day because I’m late by 32 minutes but they took more than 30 minutes to process my picking up. I don’t have proof when did I actually get my car but I’m quite sure when I get my car it’s over 9:30am but their system says my pickup time is 8:59am. And my return time they set at 9:31am. Just 32 minutes and I have to pay the full day of rental plus Insurance !! Lesson learnt, be very very careful with Europcar. They will find all means to charge you and maximize their profit

Staff at Europcar Manchester UK are superb. This is my second rental from this depot over the past three years and both times the staff were helpful, efficient, and honest.

When picking up the car, they try to sell additional insurance. If you decline, their attitude immediately worsens. The vehicle provided was not of the same class as the one booked.

Upgraded on arrival, slight confusion over where to leave the car on drop off, but was able to speak to someone there even though it was early.

Reviewed: August 28, 2021

I was given a complimentary upgrade but was charged £2.75 extra when I dropped off the car, which was puzzling as the staff member said it was the difference between the car I ordered and the car I was given. It wasn’t worth quibbling such a small amount but should not have been the case. There was something wrong with the car’s steering, which I reported on returning the car. It veered to the right at speed and when accelerating. Not safe.

Excellent counter staff and drop off staff. Easy to deal with and clear on deposit and costs.

Excellent service. Friendly and efficient. Thank you for the upgrade! Only downside is that there is limited staff at check in and as travellers all arrive with the same bus the waiting time is a bit long.

Very disappointed. I was forced me at the counter to pay 280 pounds extra for insurance. Though I had a credit card they said its not valid and they have to charge extra insurance otherwise I couldn't take the vehicle.

Reviewed: October 14, 2019

Staff were very slow in taking care of customers; their main objective was to scare and bully you into as many additional insurances as possible, ignoring completely the coverage already subscribed to at the booking. Not helpful their policy to hand over the car with an (almost) empty fuel tank and expecting it back with the same level. On the positive side: The car I had booked was also the one I got - which is rather exceptional.

The friendly professionalism of the yellow taxi (van) driver, on pick up and drop off was awesome. I ordered a Kia Ceed, which is classed as a crossover SUV. The Toyota Corolla I was given, describes itself, in its manual, as a sports hatchback, and being a hybrid, carried batteries below it's rear seat and boot. The resulting boot space was pathetic, barely accepting one large case. The second large case, and two smaller cases were placed along the rear seat, a dangerous option in the event of a forward collision.

I did not get the exact car but got a smaller one. I booked a Nissan X-Trail but was offered the Nissan, Qashqai which is a smaller size, although they offered me a Citron D7 but i refused.

VERY TIME CONSUMING GATHERING ALL THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO PICK UP. ALSO, AS I ONLY HAD £1500 ON MY CREDIT CARD I WAS FORCED TO PAY IN ADVANCE FOR PETROL I NEVER USED, RETURNING THE CAR BAck with virtually half a tank of petrol in it. On a positive note Ryan on reception is a credit to your organisation, and probably one of the reasons you are still afloat. Had it not been for him remaining calm and trying his best to help me I would not have picked the car up and certainly would have never used you again.

35 mins to pick up in 2 degrees Celsius, the van was waiting at the wrong bus stop behind a bus and with no signage on the front. The driver did at least help me with one of my three cases once we had finally found each other. Check in was complicated because of having to use the self check in machine, even though there were no other customers present and at least two staff working on the desk. The first vehicle issued was not read worthy due to a defective passenger-side mirror, which should not have been released for rental. The vehicle was swapped when I complained. The car was collected in the dark and covered in overnight moisture so some damage was not noticed on the rear driver-side wheel arch; this was only found when I reached my initial destination. Vehicle collection should be arranged in a well-lit area to ensure that no such damage is missed by the renter. The vehicle ran well and is comfortable. The shuttle can does not run frequently enough so I was waiting almost 30 mins after dropping off the vehicle to return the airport.

The milage on agreement was a couple of hundred miles below the actual millage on the car. If I hadnt noticed this I would have been charged for the milage. This made me suspect that Interrent was potentially trying to fiddle the deal. Probably not true but it did reduce my confidence in Interrent considerably. When I made this know the man at the desk said I should just take a photograph of the milage for documentation. This method is not infallible. I would have preferred a corrected rental agreement signed by the person on the desk and documented with a photo so that I would feel certain that I was not being badly dealt with. As it turned out everything was in order when I returned the car. Interrent could easily lose customers by this shoddy way of handling problems. Otherwise Interrent was fine. The car lived up to expectations and the rental cost reasonable.

The front desk service was okay, but no one answered the phone for pickup and drop-off, and the location difference was huge, almost made me late.

The rental service of this company is much less convenient compared to others. It's located quite far from the airport for both pickup and return. The staff doesn't even have a hint of a smile. I don't think I will choose this rental company again.
