“Absolutely deadful”
Written on: 09/05/2013
I selected a van to move my nephew and his pregnant wife to their new home. I could not take the van because my computer ID check was not successful. I had my passport, driving licence and my Register Of Electors card with me. So had to make alternative arrangements for the van. Well done A1 Removals Exeter! A1-removal.co.uk. I had paid a £14.93 deposit which they are refusing to return. This is sharp practice. Do not use them. (read more)

PLEASE NEVER USE EASYCAR.COM I recently went to Pisa on business and had booked a car through Easycar.com to be collected through Avis. when I got to the desk I was told that the easycar.com account had been suspended and I had to rebook there and then pay direct to Avis and then claim my money back from easycar on my return to England.

“Rubbish”
Written on: 22/11/2012
I booked a car from Rome Fiumicino airport through EasyCar and found out it was to be supplied by Locauto. Look for yourself to see what experiences renters with Locauto have, but apart from that, I had a problem (of my own making, in fact) and needed to contact Easycar customer service. Impossible - there is no phone numner, and mails to the e-mail address provided on their website bounced. I understad they are a "low overhead" operation, but SOME contact with ciustomers is necessary!! (read more)

We recently booked a car at Murcia airport through easy car. On paper it looked fine. In reality it was a nightmare. At the airport we were re charged for insurance which we had already booked and paid for through easy car and other extras. We found the person on the desk overly assertive and dismissive. Even though we paid 80euros deposit at the time of booking this seemed to disappeare. The experience was so distressing it reduced my partner to tears. When we got back we made a complaint...

I booked a car through Easycar for my son to use in Ireland. The terms and conditions stated that the car could be used in the UK, Ireland and Republic or Ireland. When he went to collect the car he had to sign a form saying that the car could not be driven outside of mainland UK. Luckily he was switched on enough to notice that detail. In the end he had to find an alternative at the airport which was £100 more expensive. At no point during the booking process were we told that the car we... (read more)

I wish I would have done some research about them before renting the car. The car was nice, pretty new, but "by mistake" they charged my deposit of 1000 Euro and I have to wait 30 days until they will reimburse the money. How convenient for them. I had to make 2 phone calls at a rate of 0.63 Euro/min to talk with them and only after I wrote an email I received a confirmation that they will reimburse the money.

I used Easycar to hire a car for a recent trip to Spain as they were one of the lowest prices available. However, when I picked the car up in Spain it was a lower class of car which should have costs over £100 less. I emailed Easycar as soon as I returned to the UK and nearly four weeks later I still have not received a reply even though I have chased them.

I'll have to break the trend here and say I actually got quite good service from Easycar. When I arrived at Edinburgh Airport to collect a car from Budget/Thrifty Rentals, which had been booked through Easycar, there was none.

Written on: 11/04/2011
Booked a car through Easycar for 1 week at Murcia airport. Company in airport was Goldcar. Easycar quoted '106 for the week. Actual cost on arrival airport was £263.00 (pounds not euros). This did include '50 for 2 baby seats but note that Goldcar charged us '93.00 for a tank of fuel that was non negotiable. To fill the car up was approx '55/60. Total rip off.
Would never use Easycar again. Ever. Or Ryanair for that matter.

Taplowman's Comment
Written on: 04/09/2010
The problem with companies like Easy Car is that they are agents ONLY i.e. they arrange your car hire through a third party and it's entirely "pot luck" as to who you get.
<br/>
<br/>In this instance, the hirer was allocated a car from Europcar - a perfectly reputable company. The problems begin when Easy Car chooses a non-reputable "partner" (like we experienced in Spain).
<br/>
<br/>I maintain that during the booking process, the potential customer ought to be aware of the end partner so that they can make an informed decision one way or the other - that's not the case at the moment, this information is only given once the booking is completed.

Taplowman's Comment
Written on: 05/09/2010
What you have to realise is that Easycar are only agents and therefore at the time of making the agreement, you have no idea who the eventual hire company is going to be. If the company turns out to be Europcar or one of the other major players then you are reasonably safe. If , like us, the company turns out to be one that was in administration last December and who openly admits that they can't afford to repair their fleet, then you have a problem!
<br/>
<br/>What I'm looking for is some transparency from the car hire agents (like Easy Car) in that they tell you who the ultimate company is going to be BEFORE you finalise the deal. You could then carry out checks on the company and make an informed decision

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Although the car hire was ultimately through a local spanish company, we hold Easycar responsible for the dangerous state of the vehicle.
Both front tyres were completely bald, the car had numerous dents & misfired regularly. As we collected the car in the dark, we didn't notice the state of the tyres - given that we then drove at high speeds on motorways, I shudder to think of the consequences of one or both of the tyres blowing.

Exactly the same happended to us on 6 April 2013 at Olbia airport, Sardinia. We too were told that the Avis account had been suspended and had no choice but to book a car hire directly with Avis at a higher cost. Easycar responded to our initial email and refunded the full amount Easycar had charged us for car hire and insurance excess with the promise to investigate the matter further. We have subsequently sent two further emails requesting an explanation and a refund of the difference we were forced to pay Avis. To date they have not had the common courtesy to acknowledge or respond to either email. DO NOT USE EASYCAR>COM.

Hi,
Did you buy cancellation insurance. We want to cancel a booking but there is nothing on the website for cancellation. How long did they take to reply to you via e-mail ?
Thanks

Afraid we didn't bother with cancellation insurance....sorry!
Initially they replied within a few days but our second email took about 2 wks. We are still waiting for the refund we requested.

Thanks for the reply. Even though we purchased a cancellation insurance also but there is no way to cancel the reservation from our end :(. The only thing mentioned anywhere on the web is that if you buy this insurance your money will be refunded. But NOWHERE is it mentioned how can you cancel a reservation. We have already sent many mails. :(:(:(
