13 Car Rental Brands at London Stansted Airport (STN)

Though they offered additional services, I politely declined, and they were very courteous. The car was excellent to drive, equipped with an assisted driving feature. It was a lifesaver when navigating roundabouts in the UK. The trunk perfectly fit two 158cm luggage pieces! They didn't charge any extra fees, which was a delightful surprise. It felt like getting extra credit on a test and answering it correctly.

Enterprise offers great value. Since the large company didn't have automatic small cars available at that time, they upgraded us for free to a brand-new 2024 larger car with unlimited mileage. The car was excellent to drive, equipped with assisted driving and CarPlay. Highly recommended!

Excellent overall. Except for waiting a bit because I arrived early, there were no issues at all. I rented a category A car but got a category C wagon instead, which was a pleasant surprise. The car was in great condition. Oh, and the staff member who handed me the car slightly misled me about the full-to-full fuel service, but it's forgivable.

When returning the car as suggested I made a video of the car condition, but the agent receiving the car got agitated saying that I can’t film on private property, told him I was filming the car as suggested, then switch to I could not record his voice, but did not shut up, so how am I supposed to record the car conditions if the employee does not shut up or let you do it ???

Overall, the service provided by QEEQ was quite prompt and satisfactory. However, the service from the actual rental company, Europcar, was rather passive. They didn’t confirm any scratches during pickup, and during drop-off, they claimed the car had been scratched by us. Fortunately, we had recorded everything on video; otherwise, we would have had to pay for the damages.

Great base price BUT they make their money from all the extras and they keep coming and hard selling them. If your strong and say no to everything it’s fine. Don’t get ripped off or guilted into adding and adding and adding cover, fuel deals etc...

The car was Kia Ceed and it was dirty and it was rainy when I picked the car up. I couldn't spend so much time to look the car around. But I took lots of pictures of the car. There was damage in front of the car and they gave me that car with specified damage in the pickup form. I drove that car 14 days and didn't use rear seats. When I went to drop that car, one guy came from the cabinet and he just opened the door and realized very very very small point that I couldn't see at my first look. There was a little and tiny dent that I didn't see before and he said me we have to charge this dent to you. I show the initial photos to him but he was getting stuck in to charge that dent to me. My initial photos contain that area too but it was so rainy and that point was wet. So hard to realize with eyes but "Micheal"(the guy's name was according to his told) seen this point at first look. And he said to me I have already charged 232GBP for that dent. I couldn't understand when he charged when he decided to charge. According to his measure dent was 30mm. But as you can see the attached picture its not over the 5mm. I will report your company to my bank as that was a fraud. Also, I asked the "Micheal" to show this dent wouldn't be charged the next person who rent this car. He told me he had already entered that damage in their system. I requested to see his report and there was nothing in that car detail!!!

Service was good and speedy. The car itself had quite a lot of damage - to the point of starting to look a bit shabby. Calling it on-airport is a bit of a stretch as it is very far from the terminal and not even in the car hire village, but part of a hotel.

Excellent service from Stephan at the check-in desk but he was on his own. There were 3 groups in front of us so the check in took 20-25 mins before we were seen. However, the rest of the experience with Avis was excellent.

They didn’t know I’d selected a VE Golf and wanted to give me a Renault Captur until I showed them the booking confirmation, so I think the reservation went through to them wrong

The Drivalia rep was quite rude and unhelpful- really pushed daily insurance of £45 per day and not happy that I didn’t take it - did not know what fuel the car used and told me to look at the cap myself.

Dear Team, Having recently used Easy Rent Cars I felt it necessary to get in touch and write reviews (which is a first for me) of our very bad initial experience with your supplier 'Easirent'. My wife and I recently arrived in Stansted Airport, London where we had reserved a hire a car with yourselves, which involves calling a number to get on your shuttle bus outside the airport which then takes customers to your car garage nearby. Once reaching the bus stop area outside (where we were told to get on the bus), we saw the bus and waived it down, the bus driver rolled his window down and said he "was full". As he drove past us to our utter bemusement my wife and I noticed he had several vacant seats. I then decided to call the number again for pick up and the gentlemen said there is only one driver and he will do a round trip which will take 20 minutes. After waiting outside in the cold for 20 minutes the bus arrives again with the same driver 'Tanase' where we finally got on and asked him why he didn’t let us on and say he was full when he had empty seats, he simply replied “I speak no English”! To say this was a lame excuse and the guy was totally rude and unprofessional is a huge understatement. With the visit to the UK for a family funeral the next day and after a 7 hour flight this bizarre attitude was the last thing we needed. When we arrived I mentioned what had just happened to one of the staff that was serving me at the desk, who apologised on his behalf and gave me an upgrade. I was not looking for an apology nor an upgrade, just simply relaying this on, as the whole experience was surreal and I'm sure if this happened to us, it's happening to other customers too that Tanase is supposedly meant to be picking up. Please ensure this gets feedback to Management, especially in your Stansted Airport, London branch. Regards,

This company is terrible. I always try to avoid them. They trap you and charge you lot of unnecessary stuff like excess insurance for not providing some documentation. This time they did not have the car I reserved online. They were still have availability online but were very rude on the phone. Refused to pick me up and did not cover for excess amount of money I had to pay to herz

The car was damaged on every single panel but not documented. I found a lot of clearly visible damage not in their documentation that I could have been held responsible for on return and been charged for if I hadn’t insisted on the damage being recorded properly. The car smelt of cigarettes and was dirty on the interior. The car was not inspected on its return just the mileage checked. Never using Hertz again.

Waited over 30 minutes to be picked up and taken to the off airport Thrifty rental offices. When inspecting the vehicle we were told that we had to take this specific vehicle as that was the only one available! We stated that it was too small, impractical and not as described. We were informed that this was the only vehicle available and that there were no alternatives. The offices were away from the airport in an industrial area so we had no option to choose another car rental agency. The car was not suitable as it had too little boot space for two normal sized suitcases. The only way we could fit our luggage in was to collapse the rear seats leaving our valuables exposed and meant that we couldn't fit passengers in the rear. Had to make the best of a bad situation as we were left with no option. Not the outcome we were hoping for.

Booked the rental for 8 am pick up only to find the office was still closed. Found telephone number on internet as no telephone number, help or advice to be found at the rental cabin. Called interrent and was told in a very dismissive tone, I would just have to wait until the staff got their. Not a good first impression at all. When staff appeared (8:15) no apology or even acknowledgment that I had been waiting for the 8am collection. Was given an upgrade to a “Mitsubishi” which was actually a MG3. No complaint about the car or the value for money but the service leaves a lot to be desired.
