For visitors looking for a true taste of the Midlands, Birmingham (Britain's second-largest city) is the perfect place to start. A major manufacturing centre in the 18th century, it stands proud today as a leading cultural hub with one foot firmly in the past and both eyes fixed on the future. Birmingham's beating heart is the pedestrianised Victoria Square where you'll find the city's impressive Roman-style Town Hall building, a masterpiece of Victorian architecture. Opened in 1885, the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery features archaeological finds dating back to the Stone Age, plus a rare collection of works by the famous painters of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Another of Birmingham's must-see tourist experiences is the Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum brimming with science-related exhibits, many of them hands-on and interactive, making it the perfect family attraction. Birmingham is also well placed for people planning to explore the picturesque Midlands countryside, including the Cotswolds to the south and the Malvern Hills to the south-west, both areas of immense natural beauty.

" Having been a long standing customer of yours, I am very disappointed that you put me in this situation. Secondly, the customer service team were NOT helpful with my problem at all. I have made an official request for a refund. If this is not actioned I will stop all my future business with AutoEurope. "
" Autoeurope gave me a rental agreement for 13:00 pick up at BHX airport. The office closed at 13:00! So when I arrived for my pick up a few minutes late (which is fair and very reasonable for an airport pick up) the office was closed. I could not get ahold of anyone and nobody had contacted me from GreenMotion to say they were closing. It is irresponsible from AutoEurope to set a rental agreement at the time closing! "

" I was told by the counter staff that a vehicle could not be issued to me as my UK drivers licence was less than 1 year old when I had my international drivers licence to back it up. Instead of finding a solution, I was just told that there was nothing that could be done. It was a very bad lesson in customer service by the Avis staff. "

" Bhx staff are great but someone in the office is not, see the above comment "
" Some time ago I used two car hire companies at BHX. I stopped using them because of fraudulent claims, which I won. Since then I have used Europcar at BHX and have had excellent service from the many staff. As I travel through BHX ten times a year I regard them as friends and they also treat me as such. It is good to be recognised and greeted when I arrive. Unfortunately I have received an invoice from yourselves for some service of which I have no knowledge. Is this the start of Europcar trying it on ? or is it an error on your part. I do not wish to change car hirers again because of the staff at Europcar BHX. I therefore suggest that you find out what the charges are for and reinburse me as soon as possible as I will be hiring a car again at BHX in the near future. "

" Good service as ever from AutoEurope. Communications and documentation were clear and effective. "
" I arrived at Europcar and queued for 15 minutes before eventually being assisted by a friendly guy who asked for all my details (which must have been already available from the booking). He then spent 5 minutes trying to upsell me additional insurance cover. I had already taken additional Collision Damage coverage and Theft Protection from AutoEurope but he insisted that this was insufficient. Even though I declined Europcar's additional insurance cover, he continued to pressurise me into buying it. I repeated declined until he stopped offering it. He then proceeded to try to persuade me to upgrade the car to a "nice Audi Q5 or Mercedes SUV" for only "£40 or £50 a day". Again, he persisted with trying to upsell the upgrade even though I insisted that I did not want it. He then gave up and said he would go and "try" to find me a car. He returned and said he had found a Honda Civic but it would need to be prepared and would take around 20 minutes. So, despite booking the car more than 2 months before, Europcar were unable to deliver what I had paid for. He then said that I could have a small Skoda Fabia if I was in a hurry to leave. As I wasn't prepared to spend another (minimum) of 20 minutes waiting, I took the small car (despite having booked a "Vauxhall Insignia or similar Standard SUV". I had options of renting my car through other suppliers, at a cheaper cost. I chose Europcar on the assumption that they would deliver a professional service. How wrong I was. I will be avoiding Europcar for all my future rentals. "

" My comments above should tell you how poorly I was treated. I have never experienced such bad customer service. "
" There were 3 sets of people come to collect cars all of whom had been waiting for hours. I had spent 3 hrs in the office, first they were giving me an electric car,when I simply booked an automatic ( Not electric). The guy serving me ( a trainee) had no manners,no customer service skills ( how he got this job is a mystery). He was exceptionally rude & was only interested in his cigarettes!! I walked out ( my money they said would not be returned) & as I was waiting for a cab another guy came & said whilst they don't have the fiat ( which they couldn't give me, even if I had of accepted my original order) there was something wrong with it & so had to be isolated, I was there long enough & someone had just returned a Hyundai. I then went in again & another guy served me, gave me the paper with faults to the car & the keys. I came in again to tell them of the issues with the car, but they just told me to mark them down & go. I have the photos I took of the filthy car I was given. Needless to say I will never go to this company again & there should be a warning from Auto Europe when they put these type of companies on their website as to how poor they are. All the customers there on that day were poorly treated,whether they tell you or not!! An experience I never wish to repeat with Drivallia. "

" I checked in online on the Drivalia site, uploading all the necessary documents. The booking was for 4 days from 2pm. I phoned their office at 11am and said could we pick it up at 7pm. They said they would put a note to this effect on the booking We then drove to the Drivalia office at Birmingham airport to collect this car. We arrived there just before 7pm and spoke to Mohamed on their desk. At first he said they had no record of the booking. Then when I presented the voucher, he said they had cancelled the booking because we hadn't turned up within 90 minutes of the scheduled time and we would need to pay an additional £120 to reinstate! He claimed that the vehicle had been rented out to someone else just after 4pm I explained about the earlier phone call and he said he had no such notes on the booking. I showed him my phone showing the log of the call to their office and he said he believed me but we had no choice but to pay the £120 reinstatement fee (which would effectively triple the cost of the entire booking!). Naturally we refused to do this as we had done nothing wrong He even said that an equivalent car was available to rent to us in the depot but that we had to pay the reinstatement fee. Despite a long and difficult conversation, we could not persuade him to honour the original contract and so we had to leave without the car. We postponed our planned trip at great inconvenience but as a point of principle we were NOT going to pay any such fee. It is worth reiterating that , when I called to agree a later pick-up time, IF they had insisted that we turn up at the original time instead then we could have done so. But there was absolutely no mention of this I can't begin the describe how angry I am about this. It is clear that Drivalia seeks to exploit weary travellers, hoping that they will agree to unreasonable charges. I find it unbelievable that any company can treat a customer like this in the 21st century. I am determined to escalate and publicise this to such a degree that it costs Drivalia a hundred times what they were seeking to extort from us The question now is whether Auto Europe is going to support its customer or align its business ethics with that of Drivalia.

" Autoeurope sells additional insurance. However on 2 occasions I've been told very clearly that the online insurance is of no use and I'm then presnted with having to block out a significant sum (more than £1000) on a credit card or trake out additional insurance. It seems AutoEurope and the car rental companies need to get together to resolve this or stop selling additional insurance packages online if they're of no use "
" I picked up my car at Birmingham airport. It was chaotic. The car I had booked wasn't available and they tried to get me to take an automatic even though I had specifically said I didn't want an automatic. As always they were "persuading"customers to take out additional insurance even though I had previously paid for additional insurance. The whole experience took more than 40 minutes and was stressful and expensive and I'd honestly rather not rent again than use this branch. A reasonable online price became a very expensive one by the end. Awful! "

" I, like many from abroad do not have a credit card as banks take security money from current account. Therefore I had to take out excess insurance at a cost greater than the hire as the hire firm insisted that they could not reserve a large deposit on my debit card. I rang them prior to hiring to check this and was told it would not be a problem. I have my own excess insurance so it was an unnecessary expense. This should be made clear. "

" Really slow response to my email questions and I've also had to ring on many occasions to get answers causing my phone bill to occur unnecessary charges. Honestly I've rented from you before and not had an issue ever but this is the first time something has happened when renting through Auto Europe and the situation has been handled terribly. I've rented trough RentalCars before and had a issue that was resolved the same day with them ringing me and making sure everything was ok. "
" Horrible experience from start to finish, first had to wait 2-3 hours to get a car. Then received a different car. Then on my return car parts were stolen. But it the issue I had after this happened from having to ring many times to get the car recovered causing me a lot of phone bill charges and then not sticking to the original liability agreement. Just a horrible experience from ALAMO/Enterprise, I will never rent from them again and have advised many other people to stay away and they have. We will stick to sixt and other companies. "

" Overall ok but car booked should really be available or an appropriate alternative without the need to pay more, and Full to Full fuel policy would be much easier. "
" Car booked not available so offered a much bigger 7 seater which I didn't want. Staff offered a smaller brand new car but then unable to allocate it unless I paid for the excess waiver insurance but I already had my own. Also, service light was on, eventually a more suitable sized car was offered. Finally I wish they had a Full to Full policy as it is difficult to judge how much fuel to put in - having had to fill up earlier in the rental I put 6 litres in to take it from 2/8 to back to how it was on collection 3/8 but the gauge didn't move. I had to put another 5 litres in and then it shot up to 4/8 which was annoying. "

" I paid to upgrade the car booked and ended up with a car that drove me mad for the entire 31 I was in possession of it. Every time I locked the car the alarm would go off at least once, if not more often. My mothers neighbours complained but at least I took the time to listens to their problem and apologise, unlike the staff who answered some of the 15 calls I made trying to get this issue resolved. Answers from Europcar staff ranged from its not a serious problem to we aren't a customer service provider. NO YOU AREN'T. Imagine how thrilled I was to hand over the car FINALLY only for the bloke in the returns car park to say oh yes it's a known fault. I am particularly disgusted with the Birmingham Airport staff who, despite repeated and I do mean repeated over many days and almost 3 hours of being on hold to pretty much every Europcar number I could find/was told to call, never once bothered to pick up the phone and answer a call or even worse never returned my call despite other Europcar staff emailing my details. As a long time expat who has hired many many cars I can confirm that this is without a shadow of a doubt the worst experience I have ever had and will certainly make sure no one I know ever touches this company with a 10foot barge pole. The refund of 3 days that I received in no way even behind to compensate for the inconvenience caused by a faulty vehicle never mind the worse than useless customer service. "

" Everything was fine with the rental until I filled the car with fuel. Despite filling the tank to the brim the fuel guage did not move. I drove further and tried to refill again with the same result. As the rental office was closed when I returned the vehicle I left a note to this effect in the vehicle and tried to contact Hertz the following day. I left a voicemail for them to contact me but 5 days on I'm still waiting. Hertz are still holding money on my cerdit card in 'transactions pending'. This is somewhat stressful. "

" I booked a full to full fuel policy and that is not what I got. "
" Check in was very slow. The rep brought us outside and asked us to wait for him to bring the car. We waited 20 minutes in the heat for him to come back. In addition, we had specifically booked with this company because the policy was a return fullnof fuel policy. When we received the car, it was so low on fuel that the warning alarm was on. The first thing we had to do therefore was to find a petrol station to put fuel into the car, and we ended up using significantly less fuel than we had put in. On returning the car, the checkin desks were empty and the reps weren't answering their phones. We had to wait 30 minutes just to return the keys. "

" Not the greatest experience I must say. Collected car on Friday evening no problem. Got a puncture at lunchtime on the Saturday and waited until gone 5 to be told that no one could assist me from the RAC, as treated as a breakdown as No Kwik Fits could help. There doesn't appear to be a great plan in place if First Assist or RAC are unable to help until the next day? Unbelievable. Thank goodness I wasn't stranded in the middle of nowhere but still unacceptable. In the end I had to contact a 24 hour mobile tyre service to get me back on the road to airport B&B. As I mention above, as the cars are checked in and out, if anything goes missing, surely the hirer should be liable? "
" I've rated a 5 as no staff to check car back in and unable to explain the stresses of a puncture (as detailed below) - I have also contacted Europcar Customer Services to explain the situation.

I get that we all have bad days but, having worked for many years in customer services myself, I was always taught to leave my problems at the door, to choose my attitude and give the customer my full attention. As a customer, I don't need to know that she doesn't like the way she is being looked at by her colleague. Save the arguments and slanging matches for when there are no customers present. Even a smile would have gone a long way to improving the experience. A great shame that the attitude she chose that day was not a good one. "

" Collection of vehicle was ok. Despite the weather being sunny and dry I was not shown to the car nor was I shown anything about using the car. It was not until day 3 did I find the A4 sheet (folded) behind the driver's sun visor which had the basic user-instructions. No-one had explained that it auto-starts when stationary, or had a speed limiter, and that the headlights even had an auto function (which had been switched off). Although I had been upgraded to a different car it may not have been that beneficial (it was not so-user-friendly and less-economical). I was not asked about drop-off times and office opening hours, and I had to ask a member of staff outside in the collection area what to do when I returned the vehicle out of hours. Member of staff was polite and friendly and chatty. I will however check the condition of the vehicle more thoroughly next time and not accept that it was ok...... "

Also it states clearly in the terms and conditions that the deposit to be held is £2500 but the guy who I dealt with on the day of collection took £2600 without my consent and did not provide a reason and this is against the law and the trading standards. Actually it's classed as fraud to take extra money from someone's account and not telling the person. I was told on email confirmation I would receive the "Toyota Aygo (Manual)" but was given a small red Kia. So your whole booking was a lie and did not meet my requirements. I want my money. "

" Ripped off by Green Motion supposedly because of Auto Europe's rigid requirements. "
" Travelling from Jersey, part of the British Isles, to Birmingham, UK I do NOT require a Passport. The desk at the Green Motion office at Birmingham Airport insisted that I required one to take a car booked via yourselves and it was your requirement which could not be ignored. I had a Jersey photographic licence, the paper version of my Jersey Licence WITH a photograph reproduced on it and containing my home address. Also I had an official Government of Jersey communication in the form of my Income Tax Assessment that I had received that morning and I was using as a second proof of address. I was informed that no matter that I have my own Annual Car Hire Insurance that because I was from outside the UK they compelled me to pay £260.98 extra insurance to "cover them" as I had booked via an agency: yourselves and it was you, Auto Europe, that demanded a Passport even for Channel Island residents! As this was 9 pm just before Christmas and I had some miles to go I had to comply with what I consider BLATANT ROBBERY! Just because I was a Jersey resident arriving late before a holiday, and even though I am a Citizen of the United Kingdom, I have been ripped off. "

I requested a small car ended up with a large skoda, nothing similar to a Toyota IQ. The car itself had a fair bit of damage on the outside, scrapes and dents, inside of the car was dirty fabric seats, appears to have not had a good clean in a while. Drop off was raining, no staff near to the drop off point. I found a female member of staff who appeared to be working alone, she's the only person whos apologised and was efficent in processing thr cars return. Pretty rubbish experience given the market is competive. "

" I have already shared it above. I did hire a car for second week again with Easirent as already previously booked, the car I was given was a badly damaged tiny Toyata Aygo which I had to go back following day to get changed as nearside mirror was totally cracked and made driving dangerous without clear visibility of left! Replacement given is another Toyota Aygo after Easirent agent tried hard to sell me an upgrade. "
" It took almost hour and half to go through the process of pickup as the Easirent agent wanted 2xproof of UK address (utility bills) and the electronic copies I had was not suitable as he could not scan them and he said their printer was not working since long time!! Then when I questioned why it was necessary for UK address verification when I have a Swiss driving licence and Swiss address, I think he realised the mistake and paperwork was then done in few minutes! But, at no point there was an apology or explanation given. He did however give an upgrade of the car which was good. However, all this caused lot of stress to my wife and myself as we had to rush to hospital to see my mother who was about to go in for a major operation and all this delay did not help. "

" After a long day in Cyprus and a long flight, the last thing I needed was the counter staff person trying to get me to pay more for an upgrade / more insurance. So my frustration at this was very evident, which she took exception to. I had booked a car. I had paid for the car. All I expected was to turn up, produce my documents and get the keys - not the case!! 15 minutes to get the keys is not what I expect. A guy arrived after me, dealt with by another staff-member, and was done and gone before I had even been given the paperwork to sign!! The hire document showed that there was damage to the car but I was expected to sign as acceptable - it was dark (9pm), the lighting at the pick-up park was dire. "The staff there will help if you need to check" was all I was offered. When I eventually found the car, the only lighting was yellow car-ark lighting, not suitable for checking for damage. In addition, the car had not been cleaned as there were mud splashes on the wheel-arches and the sides, and the body was not clean. The rear passenger seat was also marked - not noted on the "damages" document. In comparison, on drop-off, the staff member at the car park was very pleasant, did the checks straight away and assured me that there was nothing to stop my deposit being refunded without delay. That man (didn't get his name) needs a recommendation for good customer service, something that the lady on the booking desk would definitely NOT be nominated for. "

Firstly, their telephone opening hours end at 1pm which is not very efficient when you are working all day and cannot get to a phone before this time. Secondly, it has been 23 days and I am still waiting on my refund which I do understand has been delayed due to Green Motion, but nevertheless expect a speedier response than this considering how quickly money can go out the account. Thirdly, there is not much communication in the meantime regarding this refund despite the fact I have had to call on multiple occasions. Overall I am very unimpressed with the level of service. "
" Green motion have been one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. They were unable to release the car to me, and on top of that the counter staff were rude. They have taken over two weeks to let autoeurope know I did not receive the car before a refund could even be processed. "

" As above - very poor - all it takes is clearer communications - tell the customer what they can expect - clearly in your email. Also given that easirent couldnt facilitate me with the use of another credit card over the phone - led me to spending an additional 160 pounds I had not budgeted for. I will certainly be sharing my experience with the many people I know who travel and rent. "
" The email received from reservations@auto-europe.co.uk advised in the body of the email to bring driving licences, passport voucher and credit card, which I brought with me. At this point I was not aware that the I would be required to pay 1500 which would be returned within 28 days if the car wasnt damaged. In the interest of transparency and customer service i believe it would be beneficial to customers to know this from your email rather than learn it from the very fine print on the voucher. I was not able to provide such a large payment on my credit card and asked could my husband pay on my behalf over the phone on his card. This was not acceptable! as a result I paid circa another 160 ukpounds extra as insurance - despite having my annual insurance policy for rental cars. Also we were waiting over 50 minutes for pick up at the airport - despite having phoned 3 times. Believe it or not - my brother did not have a good customer experience with easi-rent the following day when he flew to Glasgow!! So two members from the one family impacted on two different pick up points/airports - it doesnt bode well! also there were two other customers in front of me that also had issues with charges etc. So between late pick up and the experience with the rental agreement - I will not be recommending Easirent. Auto Europe came recommended to me so I was quite astonished at the overall experience. "

The young lady was very good and efficient but there were too many customers for her alone to deal with. Just one extra colleague could have lessened the strain for her and the customers. We hired a Hyundai Tucson and the handbrake was very high and the centre "pod" situation made releasing the handbrake very difficult - eg for a hill start. Obviously this is a manufacturer issue but I have not encountered it before on this car (which we also hired in December 2018). Maybe ensure the handbrake is adjusted so it doesn't come so far up. "

" Experience with Green motion was good. With your Auto Europe representative - very poor almost disgraceful in terms of customer service. As you know I rent cars regularly using Auto Europe without any problems in the past. However on this occasion, I had been scanning my license for record purposes and foolishly left it in the scanner so not with me. My wife had her license so no problem, she could drive. However Green motion asked me to phone Auto Europe to change the driver on the contract or they would need to charge me 120 GBP for my wife as a second driver. I spoke to a male representative who advised that he could not change the contract unless it was 48 hours before the collection time so all he could do was cancel the contract (and loose 236) and give me another one which would have been for a smaller car and at 600. I told him that I did rent regularly through Auto Europe and could he not do something. his comment - No it is not my fault that you were foolish enough to leave your license and I cannot help you - goodbye and have a nice day. I know that It was my fault not his, however having been in sales for 40+ years before my retirement, neither I or any of my staff would tell a customer he was foolish. If you can trace the call on 20 December around 10-30 to 11, maybe some customer service training is called for. "

" Our flight was late and we had a long wait for our luggage so we arrived 2 hours later than we expected. We were told our contract had expired, we had been classed as a 'no show' and our budget car was no longer available. How can we advise them of our flight being late when we are stuck on a plane? We ended up having to have a much bigger upgrade and paying more than three times the price we were originally advised. The girl at the Interrent counter spoke so quickly and with a strong foreign accent, we could barely understand her. She was offhand, unapologetic and unhelpful. We felt we had been well and truly conned. We will NEVER use Interrent or Auto Europe again but will book directly with a well known and reputable company with well trained and polite staff. We are totally disgusted, upset and annoyed with our whole experience are are nearly 400 pounds worse off for just one week's care hire. "

" Easirent at Birmingham are thieves and scammers who take advantage of you. AVOID THEM "
" On 8th October I was late collecting my car at BHX due to a flight delay notified 24 hours earlier. I had rung and informed them of the flight delay in advance and was thanked and assured of no change in prices. On arrival and at Easirent's BHX shuttle point I met two angry Americans alighting from the shuttle bus who advised me to be careful at Easirent as they had left WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLE in disgust at an attempt to 'upgrade' at a big cost to them because their small car ALLEGEDLY wasn't available. On arrival at the office I walked past a yard and garage full of vehicles including the small type I had booked. I was informed that as I was late my car had been released TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER and I was obliged to pay £67.20 for a larger model. (The same reason the Americans had left.) I recorded all the subsequent conversation on my telephone. My circumstances were such that I needed to get to Queen Elizabeth's Hospital and although I protested loudly and accused them of fraud because of the cars available in the yard and garage, I had to agree to pay. On leaving I photographed the 40+ cars available and the operative who dealt with me. I saw the booking schedule screen and noted that no more than four cars were due to go out that day. I picked up the huge Renault SUV I had BEEN allocated and left. This was a huge petrol-guzzling monster that I did not want. I reported the matter to West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Trading Standards that evening. On 11th October I was obliged to extend my hire by one more day and had to pay the higher rental charge of £42 for the day FOR THIS BIGGER VEHICLE. In this transaction I gave all my credit card details but my credit card was allegedly declined and I was obliged to use a different debit card. At 0030 hours that night my bank woke me by telephone to report that attempts were being made to purchase items using my credit card and debit card details to obtain pizza and a cycle. I have had to cancel all my cards. No one else other than Easirent has the credit card details as it was new, to satisfy the requirements of the hire. "

I was told I wasn't allowed a refund as it had to be 48 hours before. I had only booked the rental the day before. Awful! Then when I called the very rude telephone operative started arguing with me so much I had to scream SHUT UP to stop them talking to listen to be. Worst service with a company EVER, in my professional opinion. "
" I wasn't able to rent a car and was greeted very rudely by the staff. I had completed everything on the checklist provided by AutoEurope: - Passport - Credit Card - Driving License ....then to be presented with a VERY rude gentleman saying I couldn't rent a car dude to me not having 2 proofs of address! I have had credit checks for mortgages lighter than this service. I am utterly appalled and will never be using the service again and will divert my friends and colleagues away from it, also. It gets worse, the rude attendant in the office had the audacity to take my phone and HIGHLIGHT the tiny black writing on page FOUR of the voucher to say I needed to bring the proofs of address I would have brought it IF it was on the checklist. Worse still, another gentleman in the queue behind me was turned away as well! "

There were additional costs for accidental damage insurance etc which I realise is pretty standard for car rental but this is why I can't give the full rating for value. "

" I was due to collect my rental car at 8pm on the 16th of August. My flight, through no fault of my own, was delayed to an arrival time of 10.15pm. I called ahead to see if green motion was open. There was no answer on the office number, I assume was the Birmingham office, so decided to call the other number, which took me to a call centre. They attempted to transfer me to the office in Birmingham airport but after 26 minutes on hold with no answer I had to get on the flight so was forced to hang up. I arrived at Birmingham airport at 10.15pm. Following the directions on the confirmation I arrived at the first stop on the shuttle bus and couldn't see any signs to find where Green Motion was located. After speaking to the other car rental companies I found that green motion had closed even thought all the other car rental groups still remained open till 12pm or even 1am due to delays. I was stranded at this point in a place that I am unfamiliar with. In seeking some help I had to rent another vehicle from Hertz. They where only to happy to help and provided me with a car for a good price given the circumstance. I was at this point able to continue with my trip. This review email is the first contact I have had since being left on hold on the 16th of August. Auto Europe had my flight details and contact number both of which I provided because they give you as a company more accurate means of contacting and determining my travel details. It's obvious that as I haven't received a call or email this information is not used. In short I was charged for a car that I never got the opportunity to collect and use as planned with no help from Auto Europe. It's very unlikely that I will use the company again for this reason. "

" - Great that you can compare different rental companies in one place. - The information provided by Auto Europe for the car rental with Green Motion was incomplete and when I arrived at the office, they demanded more documents from me than was outlined in the Auto Europe paperwork. "
" - The staff made the whole process of picking the car up from the office long and very stressful. They weren't considerate with the fact that my paperwork from Auto Europe didn't include information that I needed. - The person at the desk that I spoke to to pick up the car was not very helpful with explaining what I needed to do. I asked for explanations and they said that I should just use Google for an answer. - The car was very dirty when picking it up and they didn't let me inspect the vehicle before signing for it because they were too busy. They said that they didn't have time to inspect the car for themselves either. - Green Motion made me pay an extra £100 for adding an extra driver so I could take the car, because my Dad used his credit card to pay for the rental. My payment shouldn't have been accepted in the first place if the rules were that the names needed to be the same. "

It was documented by the staff before I left with the car, as well as myself. However, I was uncomfortable with the amount of risk I was taking. Also, the policy of a £1,200 deposit from a credit card is a turn-off. Not everyone has that money and that information is not readily available before you book your rental. Additionally, I requested a GPS for my rental, and was told it was included in the price. When I paid, Easirent tried to have me pay an extra £15/day and said I couldn't have the GPS unless I paid that amount. VERY disappointing. "

" I've rented many many vehicles previously and never encountered the level of service encountered with easirent. The time it takes to arrange to be collected from the station to their depot is excessive and during the journey the driver drove way above the speed limit. The time taken to collect the car was also excessively long. Overall I am totally disappointed that I ever encountered Easirent. Online reviews show similar issues with other customers. "
" First attempt to collect the vehicle resulted in me leaving as they did not have a vehicle to rent in the class I'd requested. They tried to upgrade me to another vehicle at a cost to me ranging from £250-388. I left {incurring additional rail fare} to return later in the day to collect a suitable vehicle. Pressure put on me to buy the tank of fuel and return the vehicle empty. During the hire I noticed my credit card had been charged twice for the fuel bond and the tank of fuel. With this in mind I returned the vehicle full of fuel only to find that I would not have the tank of fuel reimbursed despite pointing out that they had charged me twice for the fuel. At check in they tried to charge for damages to an alloy wheel and a tiny 'pen size' mark on the drivers door. Upon checking they found the alloy had been damaged during a previous rental. I disputed the damage to the door and due to its size it would be easy to miss during the check out. Eventually agreed to pay the damaged door with them already knowing I'd a separate insurance to cover this. I have raised the issue with the fuel charges with their customer services and also informed Auto Europe of the same and the above facts. The representative at check in said he'd emailed head office requesting a refund for the fuel but on further investigation at a later date this was not showing up with customer services. "

" I booked a compact automatic on 28 February 2018. When I presented my voucher at the Interrent desk on 6 June 2018 I was asked if I would accept a manual vehicle as they did not have an automatic. I refused on the grounds that I only drive vehicles with automatic gearboxes and Interrent has had 3 months to organise the vehicle I ordered and paid for. It took Interrent almost an hour to find an automatic vehicle that should have been available when I arrived. Eventually I was given the keys to a Toyota Auris Automatic Hybrid Estate but I had to find the vehicle myself; there was no handover to establish the vehicle's condition or instruction to explain the controls.

Admittedly there was a dispute regarding a scuff on the rear bumper that could be wiped off and left a small ripple for which I have been charged £351, this a a disgusting amount and I would appreciate your involvement in this to try to reason with Green Motion. I know the scuff did not occur was I was driving but can not prove it did not happen whilst the car was parked, the staff did not display only sort of compassion when I pointed out my personal situation and the extortion amount I was billed for such a small ripple on a bumper!

Pick up and drop off drivers were both great. I would recommend some attitude training for the front-of-house guys as their approach to customer service and -care have room to improve. "

" If I recive the promised refund I would be happy to recommend but at the moment I feel robbed as services paid for and promised where not recived "
" Hi I paied in advance for a car hire, the address to collect was wrong it consisted of a mixture of two addresses. so I wasisted more half a day on public Transport traveling to travel to birmingham International Train Station only to fing I had to collect the car from central Birmingham. Upon arriving I found I could not pay the deposit with my debit visa so could not get the car which I had paid in advance for. The office in Birmigham where very nice and tried their best but the options offered would not work either. I needed the car to take my disabled child to the Hoispitial at the weekend so felt totally let down. Upon contacting your help line I was told that due to the address problem I would recive a full refund, I have still not been reimbursed and I really need the money as had to taxi to Shefield Childrens hoispitial and return which was £120 each way. not only has the car experience been a real pain but it was expensive, if you could arrange a refund as promised that would be a great help.

" Initially, i turned up to collect my, prior booked, vehicle from Green motion at Birmingham int only to be informed that that booking was cancelled as i had placed it on the wrong collection day i.e. for the 16 rather than the 17th April. I admit that i made an error but was needing a vehicle after i flew in urgently from Australia to see my dying father, consequently LOST ALL MY PRE-PAID MONEY. Secondly, on collecting a vehicle a greater expense i was informed that i needed to get petrol for the vehicle as it was reading empty. Now consider the fact that i had just flown in, jet lagged and into an airport/ city i was not familiar with and told to go and fill the car up at the station on the M42...so there i was with a vehicle needing petrol and to get to the station on the M42...nothing like creating anxiety...

" There was no transparency with regards to additional costs. "
" There was no transparency with regards to additional costs. firstly your comparison site should show upfront the level of deposit plus any other charges that need to be paid at the airport. Interrent wanted a £1200 deposit!!!!! this is the most outrageous and unreasonable request I have ever heard and this is not something I was expecting. therefore I then had to pay an additional £50 charge to reduce my deposit to a more realistic £150. clearly this is a scam to get everyone to pay the additional £50 charge which negates any savings gained going through your comparison tool and using interrent. "
" A bit more information about how to get to the counter once in the airport, how far it is from the terminal (10min away) and the shuttle timetable (every 20min) would be great. Apart from that, the staff was very helpful and friendly and the pick up and drop off were quick and trouble free "
" Good rental offer with good insurance cover. "
" I was very disappointed with Hertz service because I wasn't given car on the date which I booked for ! They made me to come back next day to collect the car. I lost one day because I have to re-visit Hertaz to collect car which I supposed to be collected a day before ! Staff was not very supportive and helpful. just provided leaflet and asked to talk to customer service for any complaints/issues. This is not the way to behave with customer and they were not apologetic for this incident. Because of this I have to loose one day of my holiday and bookings I made for my holiday were gone. who is going to pay for that ? If car was unavailable they should have update us well before.Hope this doesn't repeat with any other customer! "
" Booking process was easy and prices are good comparing to other. "
" I DO NOT recommend HERTZ to others. Their customer service is WORST. I have booked the Ford Galaxy 7 seater and when I went to pick up the car, there are no 7 seater available. They offer me manual instead of Automatic. They offer me 5+2 where you can not fit any luggage. When I ask, why they did not update about car availability they don't have an answer and they suggest me to call the customer service if I want to make a complaint. I end up having a 7 seater car where I can not carry all my luggage and also there is not enough leg space. Very Very disappointed with HERTZ. "
" Disappointed to know that security deposit details shown on website are different to what Alamo has charged over desk. "
" Too many documents request over the counter. "
" Booking was easy. I would have appreciated more information. Especially that the shuttle ride to the car rental was quite far "
" My flight was a few minutes late and the bus stop for the shuttle was not indicated clearly on instruction. Hence I lost bus and was to arrive after 10pm. I had to bribe with cash the attendant in order to pick up the car. "
" I had to wait a while for the agent to arrive, but I was equally late arriving. Also, perhaps not at the fault of the company, but the vehicle I was provided with didn't have functioning electric mirror, the air conditioning gas was out and the front wheels weren't appropriately balanced, but this could only have been known if the vehicle was being physically driven. Despite the excess refund with Auto Europe, I paid an extra £26 for a zero excess damage waiver. Aside from this, it was good. "
" When I arrived at the europcar desk the lady at the desk walked away from the desk when she couldn't initially find my key. I thought she had went to check where it was, her colleague said that she had just went to the toilet, very strange behaviour. Then I was advised that the deposit was no longer £200/250 and it had risen to £1200. Even though I had booked the car over 2 months previous and had not received any correspondence to state this. After saying I wanted to soak to a manager, because the staff had no access to interrent contact details, I was able to pay the deposit that I had signed the contract for. This all took over 30 minutes for what should have been a five minute job. Very disappointing & frustrating "
