Didn't have a credit card so the cost increased considerably. No reason why a debit card could not be acceptable. Not surprised when you have a greedy bank involved.

I originally rented a Honda, but when I arrived, they said there were no cars available. They offered me a replacement at double the price and refused a refund.

This was second time I used this agent. Counter staff explained about the car situation. Although the car condition is not perfect good, counter explained to me that it functions well. The problem is only about the appearance. They marked all at the paper which didn't cause me any trouble when I returned the car.

The car pickup was smooth, the vehicle was new and equipped with CarPlay. It had a high chassis but a compact size, making it suitable for small roads in the UK. The price was reasonable. We purchased QEEQ insurance, but they still promoted the rental company's insurance. During signing, they pre-selected it without asking, and when we requested to remove it, they claimed to have done so but actually didn't. Upon returning the car, we noticed the insurance fee was deducted. After contacting the staff present that day, they admitted the mistake and canceled it.

Alamo had either not enough cars available. Needed to wait 60 minutes with other ten customers before we could pick up the car. First time in my life for such long wait. Other operators at the same location only need a five minutes wait. Alamo in Manchester airport was terrible.

The staff performed routine upselling for vehicle upgrades and fuel services, which I politely declined without any issues. The normal procedures were handled efficiently, with a 10-minute wait in line and paperwork completed in 5 minutes. The car was fairly new, with only 7,000 miles on it, and its condition was good. The vehicle had adequate power and was equipped with adaptive cruise control, which made driving much easier.

The only problem we had with the car was a flat tyre on the motorway. Which as the car did not have a spare tyre resulted in a three hour wait at the side of the motorway and we had get the tyre replaced at a cost of 204 pounds. As we had paid for zero excess this was refunded by the hire company. Some to think about when hiring a car. Arnold Clark were helpful and the service was quick and efficient.

The friendly professionalism of the yellow taxi (van) driver, on pick up and drop off was awesome. I ordered a Kia Ceed, which is classed as a crossover SUV. The Toyota Corolla I was given, describes itself, in its manual, as a sports hatchback, and being a hybrid, carried batteries below it's rear seat and boot. The resulting boot space was pathetic, barely accepting one large case. The second large case, and two smaller cases were placed along the rear seat, a dangerous option in the event of a forward collision.

The car was as expected but the counter staff were not. They tried to push me into extra insurance. Which I didn't need and indicated I could not get the car unless I agreed to the insurance. After I contacted customer service it was resolved. Not what you need after a 12 hour flight and need to make an appointment.

I paid extra for a SUV or similar. I got a small 5 door Kia Stoic. This is NOT a SUV, various excuses were made. Take it or leave it but no refund. Paid for was a SUV to seat Five, that would be impossible in the provided vehicle. I returned the car three days early due to there being no parking available at the Hilton Carlton nor any parking available less than a thirty minute walk to the hotel. I went to the Edinburg airport (EDI) at approximately 7.30pm, no one at the rental return area. Closed at 7.00pm. There was no indication as to where to park, I took a wild guess. I photographed the interior and exterior. I went to the airport and asked the agent what should I do, answer, where I parked should be fine and throw the keys in the drop box. Over one week later, NOTHING. No contact, no email saying return was complete, no offer of refund for several days early return, NOTHING!

The wait was TWO HOURS to get the pre-booked and pre-paid car. It was baking hot and I had a baby and a small child with me. The staff did not acknowledge the wait or apologise for it. I made a note, whilst in the queue, never to use Europcar again. All other rental car providers had more staff and no lines. Horrible, horrible, experience!

VERY TIME CONSUMING GATHERING ALL THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO PICK UP. ALSO, AS I ONLY HAD £1500 ON MY CREDIT CARD I WAS FORCED TO PAY IN ADVANCE FOR PETROL I NEVER USED, RETURNING THE CAR BAck with virtually half a tank of petrol in it. On a positive note Ryan on reception is a credit to your organisation, and probably one of the reasons you are still afloat. Had it not been for him remaining calm and trying his best to help me I would not have picked the car up and certainly would have never used you again.

35 mins to pick up in 2 degrees Celsius, the van was waiting at the wrong bus stop behind a bus and with no signage on the front. The driver did at least help me with one of my three cases once we had finally found each other. Check in was complicated because of having to use the self check in machine, even though there were no other customers present and at least two staff working on the desk. The first vehicle issued was not read worthy due to a defective passenger-side mirror, which should not have been released for rental. The vehicle was swapped when I complained. The car was collected in the dark and covered in overnight moisture so some damage was not noticed on the rear driver-side wheel arch; this was only found when I reached my initial destination. Vehicle collection should be arranged in a well-lit area to ensure that no such damage is missed by the renter. The vehicle ran well and is comfortable. The shuttle can does not run frequently enough so I was waiting almost 30 mins after dropping off the vehicle to return the airport.

The milage on agreement was a couple of hundred miles below the actual millage on the car. If I hadnt noticed this I would have been charged for the milage. This made me suspect that Interrent was potentially trying to fiddle the deal. Probably not true but it did reduce my confidence in Interrent considerably. When I made this know the man at the desk said I should just take a photograph of the milage for documentation. This method is not infallible. I would have preferred a corrected rental agreement signed by the person on the desk and documented with a photo so that I would feel certain that I was not being badly dealt with. As it turned out everything was in order when I returned the car. Interrent could easily lose customers by this shoddy way of handling problems. Otherwise Interrent was fine. The car lived up to expectations and the rental cost reasonable.
