This will be my second hire from these guys. They were courteous and very helpful. They bent over backwards to help out and my special thanks go to the Edinburgh airport team, who made my rental experience one that I would heartily recommend to anyone hiring a car.
I was initially sceptical about the car I was given, as I'd previously been given a Fiat 500 and was offered a Kia Rio this time round, but kerbside appeal and general drive-ability are two different things.
The Fiat may have been better appointed inside and out and to be fair was a much more pleasant place to sit whilst driving, but it couldn't match the Kia for handling and nippiness around town.
The Fiat also scored more highly than the Kia for spacial awareness in traffic also had better all round visibility, due to the smaller quarter light windows in the Kia. So, as with everything, there are trade offs.
The Fiat was also not as economical as the Kia, only managing 27.3 mpg around town with my style of driving - compared to 33.2 mpg with the Kia.
I would have awarded Easirent five stars, but the car I was given had a few slight scratches, but minor presentation defects aside, I was extremely impressed with the level of service I received. Well done guys and girls at the Edinburgh Airport location.
