How can a car rental charge UKP 1400 extra for compulsory insurance???? It doesn’t cost that much to insure my own car for a whole year or two or even three years. Disgusting.

The rep that set us up was nice Everything could have been better, The vehicle had maintenance issues, The child car seat was more of a hazard than it was safe. The cost tripled on pick up

Easy pick up and drop off, insurance was crazy amount, as I had the car for 34 days I had to get their insurance and I could have bought a second hand car and insured it for less.

Very easy pickup process. Slight confusion at return since they were in the process of moving to a new location. Should be better in future as they are now at the terminal rather than offsite.

Signage for car rental return is poor, but this would be largely the responsibility of the airport

I didn´t like that Hertz charged me more than my reservation. I made a complaint but neither Hertz nor Car Rentals would do anything about it. They´ve also charged for something I dind´t asked for.

The staff was polite and helpful.

We waited for the Hertz shuttle at the airport for over 25 minutes before finally just taking a cab. We try to call them and got no answer. We also tried to use their FaceTime at the kiosk inside the airport, but we're unable to reach them.

We landed in the North Terminal in Gatwick and had to walk for miles to pick up our car in the South Terminal. Other than that, car was great and service was excellent.

Car due for us needed a service, but after short delay, alternative was found on a busy day for them (rail strike). Courteous and option to return to north terminal without surcharge. Great.

Car rental desk was closed at the terminal I landed at. I had to catch a train to the other terminal which took about half an hour. Staff got confused sorting out the rental because it was priced in US dollars, but I was renting the car in England and paying in New Zealand dollars. That took two people about another half hour. The car I rented had an issue with the gearbox making it difficult to engage first gear sometimes, even though it only had 36,000 miles on the clock. When I returned the car there was no one at the yard to receive it. Another customer turned up at the same time and both of us spent about ten minutes trying to find staff members to take the keys and sign off the returns. Eventually, two mechanics came back to the workshop and told us we had to walk to the rental office to return the keys. Walking there and dealing with that took another ten minutes. I will not rent with Budget from Gatwick again. The price was also outrageous. I could have bought a small car for that amount.

Picking up the vehicle in Gatwick was easy. What wasn't great was being told the vehicle had no insurance just the rental cost was done with Kayak. I had to pay nearly the same price as the rental for the insurance before they would let me leave with the vehicle. The vehicle was an older car 2019 with marks and scratches all over it. Near bald worn-out tires on the front and what sounded like metal to metal (brake pads worn out) on the front brakes. Having to stop right away after pick up and fill it with windshield washer fluid shows that they hadn't even looked at it before sending it straight out on another rental. I won't be using Europcar again.

Our pick up at Gatwick was dreadful. We waited an hour and a half past our scheduled pick up time for the car to be ready then when it arrived the keys were just handed over and the agent walked off. We did our own inspection, only to find serious damage (dents/scrapes) to the right wing and bumper of the vehicle. When we called the agent back he was so disinterested it was a joke! Eventually he agreed to write a note of the damage on the agreement so we felt comfortable that we wouldn’t be charged on returning the car. Drop off at Heathrow was easy and straightforward.

Kayak and carrentals were providing incomplete information about car rental process and cost. Quotation was given without insurance cost which once added inflated the overall cost to become very expensive and noncompetitive. This may be good for US residents with the right credit card.

You must provide clear guidance on insurance issue and whether it is included or not. I paid four times the quoted price for half the period and my main concern was to return the vehicle ASAP rather than getting on with my trip. The trick of small print was not expected from big providers like you.

Pick-up was slow; they could have done with more staff. The ones who were there coped very well. The duty manager kept us all informed as to the progress of the queue, which was much appreciated. Dorota (Dorothy) checked me in and provided excellent customer service.

The car was fine and the staff was friendly.

The rental agency is in the Crown Plaza Hotel in Crawley far from the airport. The shuttle only comes once every 45 minutes so be sure to very arrive early not to miss your flight, and be prepared for a long cold wait at the bus stop.
