Pave your parking lot. First car broke down on us but roadside assistance helped us out. Second car was much better. Tire light was on and radio didn’t work, no navigation. Other than that it went well and the staff is very good and easy to deal with.

Our flight was cancelled from London to Glasgow. There was no available alternate flight that day. We called Easirent to inform them we would pick car up next day. They refused our request, cancelled the booking, kept our money and said they would charge us more for not showing up. We had to rent another car next day, doubling the cost of rental for 1 day less use. Do not rent from this company, they are charlatans.

I had a horrible experience. The first thing you need to know is that easirent is no where near the airport. All other major carriers are. It was about a ten minute wait for the van, then another 10 minutes to the location. The rental office is a sketchy trailer with a single person working the desk. I was third in line and waited 30 minutes, only to be told my car was given away. I will admit I was 45 minutes late to pick up the car. They gave me a choice to rent a manual, which I could not do. I then scrambled, found a car on Enterprise ($400 more), and had them drive me back to the airport. All told: I lost an hour plus, missed a distillery tour ($100), and had one of the most frustrating experiences while traveling. In sum, pay the extra money, go to a known carrier on the airport premises.

I was overcharged on the rental. Easirent did not release car to me until I paid more than the price I was quoted by Kayak (via Priceline). I am disputing this overcharge. Please contact me regarding how to get this refund. My email is Faith.Pettis@PacificaLawGroup.com

Comfortable new car that was reliable. But...

Upon return they point out a tiny tear in the drivers side tire. I'm talking 1cm deep and 3cm wide, in the tread (not side wall). Was told it would be a discussion but by the time I got off my flight home I had been charged $2000CAD and was only left a 30 second voicemail. Unbelievable.

When you use a debit card you have to provide two recent utility bills or other prrof of address. That can be challenging for someone from abroad. Was resolved through use of internet and electronic bills, but caused a delay.

The friendly, helpful manager and staff made the entire process painless. I was shown round the car and advised on its controls etc. before driving off. Quick pick up and return. I was completely satisfied with the car's condition and, as suggested, it was perfect for my needs. I'll definitely use the Glasgow office again, and would recommend them with out reserve.

The only issue with the car (a Jaguar xe) was the low roof as I, and a passenger, banged our heads exiting the car.

I was charged for a scratch that was on the bottom of the front bumper and possibly already on the car prior to my renting it. It was so low that I had to bend over to see it.

I was ripped off again. The second time this has happened to me in Glasgow, UK. At the end of the rental, I was charged for scratches on the wheel rim which I did not cause. All of the wheels had scrapes and scratches on them. The person checking me in only looked at ONE rim and pointed out several scratches which he said "looked new". They charged me GBP 120.00 for the scratches, and a GBP 55.00 fee for "damage processing". How ridiculous. I am going to contest these charges, because I did not drive up on curbs or otherwise damage this rim. I only parked in the hotel parking lot and at the COSTCO parking lot, both of which had parking slots and no curbs.

The car itself was great.

The site says the office is in the terminal. It was not. Just a Hirt walk. But still misleading. The wait to pick up the car was long. It cost way more than the original quote. And the directions for drop off were easily missed. I found it more by luck than by following the roadside directions.

The Peugeot 308 handled well and was large enough to be comfortable for three people and luggage. We drove it around for two weeks in England and Scotland. The staff at the Glasgow airport were knowledgeable and friendly, though service was a little slow due to many customers.

I called Hertz 2x before I picked up the car, the 1st time to let them know that my flight was delayed 12 hours, and I was told they would still have my car available. The 2nd time I called to extend my rental a day, and they were very helpful, and extended the reservation at very little cost.

Economy Car was not held for me, despite me having called beforehand to confirm it would be. No real effort was made to provide a smaller car when I expressed concern over the huge replacement vehicle I was given (Scotland has tiny roads and they gave me a Volkswagon Caddy). No personnel at drop-off

The staff member who helped me with pickup was so kind and helpful! I really appreciate her patience. (I think her name was Anne, but I don't remember.) Thank you for the free upgrade!!!

I wish the Oxford office had been open when I arrived. I felt a little nervous leaving the car.

The car, a brand we had never even heard of (a Seat Leon), was comfortable, compact, thoughtfully designed, quiet, and a pleasure to drive.

They could have given us a manual or instructions on the Infotainment system. It was not easy to work out what all the functions were and how to use them, and we didn't even find the CD player (in the glove compartment) until near the end of our trip.

Without doubt the worst car hire company I’ve ever dealt with. Ignorant people who plainly set out to take money from me. Lied about condition of the vehicle! Would not check the car over with me when I pointed there was a lot more damage than they said, including damage to a wheel. And on returning the car they tried to blame me for the very same wheel being damaged and now there was a blister on that tyre. Considering they service an international airport there hours don’t suit everyone and you will need to return the car to suit their schedule which means booking a hotel at Glasgow airport if you have an early flight next day. But from start to finish it was terrible. To the point I’d use public transport before I’d use them again. Now I need to deal with them not stealing money from my credit card as I refused to sign their paperwork admitting I damaged their car. Even though I have pictures to back me up. So beyond not happy.

If this really mattered someone would call me. Scott Thiessen 206 686-7474. Covid -19 caused me to cancel. Icelandic air canceled my into Scotland. I notified Green Motion and Car Rentals .com ahead of time and tried to contact kayak and Expedia by phone and website to no avail—please credit my money back because I canceled and never used a car

Drop off was super easy. The person that handled the drop off/shuttle was super friendly and nice. They also picked us up from the airport, which is like a 2 minute drive so that was cool too. -The car was amazing! Massage drivers seat and a lot of fun features that I've never seen before.

- Worth keeping in mind when looking around that you'll have to put down an above average deposit if you choose to go with your own credit card insurance (over 2,500gbp). If you choose to go with one of their options for insurance it will add a couple hundred to your bill. So if you think this is the more inexpensive option, you may be wrong with all the extras you'll have to get. -Make sure on pick up to take pictures of everything (even scratches and dents under 4cm or whatever they suggest) We were asked on drop off if we had a picture of a dent that we were told we didn't have to document on pickup. Luckily we had figured as much and had video/pics of it. -They had the tank filled just over half which I thought was odd, usually rental cars start with a full tank but that could just be my preference.

To be open later than 8 pm as they are at an airport they cancelled our reservation for all three days 4 hours after we hadn’t picked it up .
