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 car.

We picked up the car at LONDON GATWICK airport and it would have been helpful if the girl who processed our pick up could have informed us about the LONDON CONGESTION CHARGE. We learned about it after driving in to London twice. You can pay the charge before going in to London and it is A LOT CHEAPER.. now we have to pay the fines AND PAY ENTERPRISE A 35 GBP processing fee per fine. I understand it is our responsibility to be aware of things but a little heads up would have been appreciated. Especially when we dropped off the car at Stansted and were told by the young man who processed the return that we should have been advised about the London Congestion charge.

Vehicle cleanliness and overall high standard of maintenance that was obvious from the beginning.

Salesman used fear mongering and scare tactics in order to force an upgrade on the insurance coverage, ever after they had been shown a 3rd party full coverage proof of insurance. Salesman was manipulative and overall dishonest with regard to the percentage of all rentals returned with serious or 'dead-lining' mechanical damage for drivers who did/did not purchase the additional insurance coverage from the agency.

Price. efficiency of pick up and drop off. Color of car. Gas mileage. Looks of car (lots of amused comments). Size for traffic and city driving. Your staff were super helpful.

Engine size - zero power. Enough for around town but on a long trip (London to Exeter) not good. Seats were not great for long ride - was glad to get out. BUT it did the job and we'll be back.

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.

Check in and out we’re easy and staff was friendly. We were given an “upgrade” from the car we ordered and ended up wishing we’d just gotten the car we ordered since the “upgrade” was much bigger and harder to drive. Additionally, after our drop off in Glasgow, they charged us a large “refueling” fee even though we left the gas tank almost full. So dishonest.

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.

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.

Good discounted price at the cost of extra time to walk to bus stop and wait for their shuttle; then drive to a remote location. Given a very nice car, almost new, but much bigger than the car I wanted. When driving in Europe, I prefer a smaller car because the roads are so narrow. Upon return, tried to contact them for a clarification on early opening hours, and could only email - they responded with a question back to me and then did not respond to my query. It worked out because they do open at 7:30am; had to wait 30 minutes for the next shuttle to the airport - I had given myself one hour, so it was all fine.

Loved the car, a hybrid (Yaris). A smooth, quiet ride, ample space for 2 people and moderate luggage and good performance on all roadways. Easy to park and easy on fuel. Check-in was not pleasant however, with a counter person who wasn’t clear on procedure. My check-in took much longer than others around me because he entered incorrect information in the wrong places. I understand that newbies need some patience. I have lots, but please ... if staff aren’t sure what to do they should be asking for help from a co-worker. Also, too much pressure to purchase more insurance. As a seasoned driver with many miles (and rentals) behind me I do my research to ensure I am adequately covered. Stop trying to upsell me.

Better description about their non insurance on the rental page. Ie if you breakdown you will need to solve it as it is not insured. This would have made me book with another rental company. More clarity on what is the booking paying for and not so that a better choice could be made
