They charged me for damages that didn't happen when I had already contracted insurance and been told by the agent that no additional charges would be added to my account.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the vehicle having a faulty tire on the way back to the Budget shop and had to deal with a flat. The roadside service representative informed us that the tire tread was too low, and that the tire tread was pulling away from the tire on the inside - and was highly likely in that poor condition when we first picked up the vehicle. As a result, I would suggest that Budget make closer safety inspections of their vehicles. This was an incredible imposition, and could have been an extremely dangerous outcome if we had not stopped when we had.
Windscreen washer had been filled with water and remained frozen for my entire visit

Like having a known company. Have rented from other companies where I had to go to some little office well off site. Hertz rental location was easy to find, clean and well staffed. I knew that I could return the car after office hours and find someone there to return the car to. Their choice of car options was also important. Finally they offered a generous mileage allowance - 700 miles for 7 days.

Did not realise that booking through Kayak meant no insurance whatsoever. This doubled the cost! No contact from Hertz prior to pick up. Sketchy information about what was covered. Nil paperwork bar a receipt.
The staff member at reception was really helpful, friendly and efficient. Excellent service. I think his name was Adam on duty at around 6.15 pmon Saturday 25/1.

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.
Super easy pick up and drop off. Very friendly staff. Difficult to find the office and if someone is dropping you off be aware that the Regus carpark is not free and has cameras as you go in.

Liked the car but didn’t realize it came with only 100 miles/day. So I had to upgrade which doubled the price. Took over an hour to find the bus and get to their off airport site. Two hour waiting in a queue with just one person checking everyone in. Felt so bad for couple in front of me who were going to miss their cruise do to horrible delay. On return the bus only came once an hour to return to Terminal 5! Never renting from them again!

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.

Everything went fast and easy. I was lucky and got a car upgrade. The airport bus that took us to the rental village at arrival lasted half an hour, that was a bit annoying, but it had nothing to do with enterprise.
Booked for 16:00, office closes at 16:00! Any delay and employees (still there) won't give you your car; Only option : come tomorrow, we open at eleven. Abandoned on parking with kids and luggage in the rain on a parking lot in the middle of nowhere. And they proposed we get a car from Enterprise Clubcar in the meantime. Registering procedure is manual, was handled the next Monday and declined because we do not live in the UK. Such a bad experience.
