Not class reserved
Cons: They didn’t have any mid-size suvs—the class we had reserved. Tried to rent us large 10 passenger van instead, which was unacceptable. Eventually manager became involved and we settled on Ford Galaxy which they told us was our only other option without paying much more.

Just okay
Pros: Car rental facility, once you find it, is pretty close to the terminals, with rapid bus service.
Cons: Dropoff procedure at Manchester Airport was slow (10 minutes to get car checked in, due to understaffing) and not terribly friendly.

Unpleasant drop off
Pros: No queue.
Cons: Agent was nitpicking at drop off. He focused on Minor wear and tear I could not even have seen at pickup because the car park was too dark. I was not charged, but it made me feel very uncomfortable and delayed my departure.

Cons: I’m from the US and when the car was returned 30 min late because I was lost, I was charged another day’s rental. Plus, the insurance rates are too high! I will not rent from Hertz again!

Why is car rental at British airports so awful?
Pros: Car was fine, but lacked any frills.
Cons: Heathrow and Manchester seem designed to give the worst possible first impression of the country, and the car rental facilities are the worst of the worst. Have the designers never traveled to a half-decent airport in the US, Asia or Europe? Poor signage (also at Gatwick); lousy shuttles; complacent service by people who clearly don't care. This trip was capped by a ridiculous charge for an invisible "dent". The car rental has a veneer of efficiency (e.g. Electronic check-in), but this was a poor and sloppy experience through-and-through.

Don't trust Kayak
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Hertz refused to release the car at the price quoted by Kayak. Even though I had pre-paid the insurance. I hired a car from Avis at a lot less. Also it seems I am unable to reclaim the pre-paid insurance. Rubbish company.

No está reservada la clase
Cons: No tenían suv de tamaño medio, la clase que habíamos reservado. En cambio, intentamos alquilarnos una gran furgoneta de 10 pasajeros, lo que era inaceptable. Finalmente el gerente se involucró y nos instalamos en Ford Galaxy, que nos dijeron que era nuestra única opción sin pagar mucho más.

Lack of transparency
Cons: I was extremely frustrated to find I *had* to purchase additional theft insurance, even though I have full coverage through my credit card. This added significantly to the daily cost of the rental in ways I had not planned on. It would be one thing if this had been communicated transparently at the point of booking, but to find this out at the point of pick up was extremely frustrating. I will be more discerning in future, and will not be choosing Europcar.

7.2
Mixed, but generally good.
Pros: Nice clean cars and helpful staff.
Cons: Had to wait 45 min for pickup, and bill was £20 more than it should have been - but they were quick to address when I pointed it out.

After long wait at counter, company would not honor arranged price
Cons: Company required purchase of insurance which would more than double rental price. Declined to rent and rented instead from National at adjacent counter with no problems and lower price. Will not rent from Europcar again. Was fortunate to find and available car, in same class, at a good price during holiday week..

ended up a rip-off
Pros: A good high quality car, friendly personnel
Cons: was lured in by low online rate but then aggressively upsold into insurance that I didn't need, such that I ended up paying three times the amount I was originally quoted. I would not use them again.

Falta de transparencia
Cons: Estaba muy frustrado al encontrar que *tenía* para comprar un seguro de robo adicional, aunque tengo cobertura completa a través de mi tarjeta de crédito. Esto añadió al costo diario del alquiler una cantidad que no había planeado. No hubiera sido un problema si lo hubieran comunicado de forma transparente en el punto de la reserva, pero averiguar esto en el punto de recogida fue extremadamente frustrante. Voy a ser más exigente en el futuro, y no voy a elegir Europcar.

Después de una larga espera en el mostrador, la compañía no respetaría el precio acordado
Cons: La compañía exigía la compra de un seguro que costaría más del doble del precio del alquiler. Declinó alquilar y alquilar en lugar de Nacional en el mostrador adyacente sin problemas y precio más bajo. No alquilaremos de nuevo a Europcar. Tuvimos la suerte de encontrar un coche disponible, en la misma clase, a un buen precio durante la semana de vacaciones.

Pros: Un buen coche de alta calidad, personal amable
Cons: Fue atraída por una tarifa en línea baja pero luego agresivamente sobrevendido en un seguro que no necesitaba, de modo que terminé pagando tres veces la cantidad que me cotizaron originalmente. No los usaría de nuevo.

Pros: Staff was friendly as they charged me double the agreed-upon price.
Cons: Payment due at pickup doubled from what I agreed upon when I hired the car via Kayak. I didn't have time to argue the charges because I was on vacation and had time-sensitive plans. This company seems to prey on foreigners in this type of situation. Advertise a low price, double it upon arrival.

1.5 hour delay in pick up, car mileage is over 33000 miles
Pros: Shuttle was on time
Cons: Delay, Basic insurance was not included and the car was old (mileage was over 33000 miles)
review from

4.4
Pros: It’s relatively cheap if you take extra care they don’t squeez in extra optional insurance charges.
Cons: They tried for almost 2 hrs to sell us damage waiver which we already had. They were claiming ours would not work because liability and damage should be bundled!! Finally we got them to agree to unbundle the two via American Express representative in the phone from US!!!! We end up saving $50 but it drove us crazy with a 2-yr old with us that my wife had to entertain after an 11-hr flight!

Ripped off,
Pros: The car itself was decent, full size + luxury as described (although Volvo not Mercedes). No sign of any Mercs on the lot either, so not sure if they actually have any.
Cons: The worst service EVER upon pick up from Easirent. No routine shuttle bus from airport, apparently you have to phone for a pick up but no contact number was given. Jumped in a cab to rental center but it has moved & Kayak has incorrect address. Eventually arranged pick up, took 1 hr 30 mins for the shuttle bus to arrive after I managed to speak to them + everyone was totally unapologetic and basically complaining about how hard they were working. There were 2 customers ahead of me in the queue when I finally arrived at rental center but it took an hour to process them + me. The woman in front of me was in tears because of the standard "you need to take our premium insurance" line which left her an additional $600 out of pocket. Of course, I got gouged as well an additional $100... "we cannot let you take this car without additional insurance, you're not legal on the road without it" despite the fact my US credit card covers this and I don't have a problem elsewhere. Companies like this should NOT be in business, and thankfully the service is so bad that they won't be for long, there is no way they can survive when they are so appallingly bad.
