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.
We got run flat twice and had to call AA service 3 times on the road during our 3 days trip. It was horrible service ever because AVIS didn't maintain rental car properly. The service was overdue and the alert has been on during the trip

We waited forever for a shuttle bus and when it turned up, it had room for 2 people. There were about 8 people in front of us and 7 in our party with 3 little kids. We'd just got off an 8hr overnight flight and the kids were cranky. The party in front of us let us go before them on the 3rd shuttle to show up, but that could only fit 3 people. It took forever to get our whole group to the actual Avis location, over several shuttle busses. The desk was really busy and my pre-booking took forever to process. Not the slickest operation, but the car was new & clean and ready for us. Price was ok, vehicle great, process poor.

When I booked a car you took £6 out of my bank abs I had the pay £40 when I got there, got all the way to London city airport to pick up my hire car only to be told it wasn't there some one using it kayak didn't update there list of availability and second was to be told I would have to pay a extra £50 on top of the £40 for a new car then to be told I had to pay a £200 for a holding fee which didn't explain when I booked the car so I will not be using these again
Booked and paid more for a car in Kayak website stated clearly the vehicle is in terminal and ended up it required a shuttle bus. No one from Hertz pick us up! We ended up asking a National car rental to give us a lift to Hertz. Third party charges ~$13 per day for insurance and Hertz charges ~$73. It was late night and after a long flight so we paid. Be careful!

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.
When I picked the car up I was told that no insurance was included, and that basic collision insurance with a GBP 800 excess would be more than 2x what I paid for the car. I have been renting cars for 40 years, and never before have I been sold a car without any insurance. In the past there has always been insurance with a modest excess (eg GBP 1,500) which the client is invited to reduce by making an additional payment. I will be careful never to book through you again.

My flight arrived at terminal 4, when I called the car rental team I was informed that they didn't pick up from terminal 4 and I would have to make my own way to terminal 2 or 3. Once at terminal 2 or 3 I would need to call them again. When I arrived at terminal 3 I called them and was told someone would pick me up in 10-15 minutes. After 30 minutes I called again and was told that someone would set off now to pick me up, so they hadn't even left their business to pick me up, if I hadn't called again how long would I have been waiting for? Upon arrival to the car rental place, I was informed that I had selected the cheapest option which didn't come with insurance which I needed. They gave me three price options, all which resulted in at least double the price of my original booking. At the time of booking I was not given the option of purchasing insurance, so a very deceitful way of hiding those additional fees making the renter think they have got a good deal. The fuel tank was only half full, resulting in me having to fill up before heading on my 5 1/2 hour drive, where the half tank wouldn't have gotten me to my destination. The gas station was only at the end of their road. Upon returning the car, I once again had to make my own way to the airport - terminal 4. They didn't even offer to take me to terminal 2 or 3. I will not use their service again, nor will I book a car through Kayak again.

I got dropped off at terminal on departure. DO NOT USE PAY EXTRA AND USE A MAINSTREAM RENTAL COMPANY. THE PRICE IS MISLEADING THEY CHARGE YOU FOR INSURANCE WHEB COLLECTING THE CAR RATHER THAN TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE THE BOOKING. RUDE AND UMPROFESSIONAL STAFF. CAR SMELT IF SMOKE, WAS UNLEAN AND WING MIRROR WAS TAPED ON DO NOT USE.

The guys at the office were very polite and helpful. The one downside is that it took forever to get the car as well as drop it off. It is not a standard rental car counter so be ready for that.

I arrived at Routes car rental and they refused to give me my car unless I paid £140 for basic insurance (which I showed them was already included in my purchase from Kayak). I had the feeling that they try this scam every time, all customers were ushered in one by one separately into the office so you could not hear what was being discussed but nobody received a car. The office was just a hotel room with a sign on the wall and did not look like a functioning rental car company. Do not touch Routes it is a scam company!! I left and rebooked with somebody else for £60 and will be asking for a refund from Kayak.
