Cheap Car Rentals in Ratho, Edinburgh

We had to delay our pickup of our rental car since the streets were all blocked off in Edinburgh (due to the Queen at St. Giles Cathedral). The gentlemen at the Easirent Edinburgh were so easy to work with and really understanding when we had to make changes to our plans due to the Queen's presence in the city. When we finally picked up our vehicle on Wednesday, the process was smooth and they had it all ready for us. We had a great experience with Easirent.

Beware of mandatory insurance costs which they do not tell you about and you only find out after your credit card has been charged. Will never use Kayak again.

This car rental branch will pursue even the tiniest scratch that would be considered normal wear and tear at most locations. Though their initial price may be cheap, do not be fooled as they will get their money on the back end. I was charged 365 pounds for one scratch less than an inch in length underneath the bottom frame of the door and a scuff on the boot from pulling suitcases in and out. I also witnessed two other customers being given the same shakedown treatment for damage. My worst car rental experience in 35 years. I feel sorry for anyone who has an actual damage incident. I will be escalating my concerns with Easirent corporate and the appropriate authorities.

The women who checked the car out and back in were friendly and informative.

Very easy pick up and drop off, helpful staff, no sense of anyone trying to charge for damages - All very fair and reasonable, and done in a professional but friendly manner.

Cameron was friendly, informative, helpful and has a great sense of humour. The car, while small for someone 6’4”, was comfortable and had all the necessary amenities (except sat nav).

Alex was friendly and helpful. We paid for an upgrade, and the car was excellent.

I had to wait almost an hour in Edinburgh to speak to an agent. Europcar would not accept that my credit card and my own auto insurance cover insurance and I was obliged to pay an extra 20 pounds per day for collision damage waiver. They said if I had booked directly and not through Rentalcars..com collision would have been included so I will only book directly with companies in future. On the other hand the staff member was helpful when they did not have the car I reserved and they did upgrade me.

My car rental agent was excellent!! He is the bomb (originally from Spain). The wait time in order to be helped was quite long, so Europcar could be better about staffing enough agents but the agents that they do have are fantastic .
