Car hire in the United Kingdom

A couple of hours after returning our vehicle to an unmanned drop off location, we received an email claiming there was damage on the vehicle. We will fully dispute this claim through all legal avenues. It is deeply disappointing that Avis representatives would seek to fraudulently abuse foreign tourists in this way.

Very easy pick up and drop off

Great. Had vehicle for six weeks; no issues Easy in and out. Courteous and knowledgeable staff

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.
