Easirent at Heathrow is based in a container in the corner of a parking lot. No direct pick up from Terminals, you have to catch a hotel hopping bus. Also, cost advertised is only the car rental. Insurance and damage waiver coverage are extras which really ramps up the price. They may be backed by Fiat (they say) and operate through Pricecom (an American outfit) but their set up is second rate, although in the end the car we had was good, met our needs but was overpriced.

On pick up we found scrapes on the car that weren’t marked on the paperwork so got them to correct it. Agreement was for 100 miles per day this was changed to just 71 miles. Very disappointed. Checking the car back in was very quick and trouble free.

I actually never was able to see the car I rented. After booking the vehicle months out, my travel plans changed and I needed to add one day to the 8 day rental I already had booked. Although I called frequently a month prior to my trip, the UK rental company refused to answer their phone (rang multiple times and then hung up). Speaking with an affiliate in the USA, they directed me to Kayak. Kayak then directed me back to the company. I did this circle a few times. I eventually used a UK based friend to call the car hire company who said they would not change the booking and I instead had to cancel the booking and restart the process. When I investigated this via a partial booking, I quickly determined that the company wanted to charge me over twice the original 8 day cost to add a single day to my booking. At this point I canceled my original booking and decided to go with a more established and reliable car rental company. Having just completed the trip, I can assure you that I made the right choice not using Easirent. Based upon my experiences, Easirent should really consider changing their name.

Easirent was fine. What wasn’t fine is that Kayak and the booking agency they work with don’t include insurance in pricing so the rental ended up 1000 pounds(!) more than expected.

This was the worst checkin and checkout experience I have ever had. The estimated arrival time apparently is used by these guys to justify cancelling a reservation I had made at least two months in advance. When I arrived they informed me that the reservation was gone but they would see if they could arrange something. Let me talk to the manager and make a phone call they told me. And amazingly they found a car for me. And it was outside all along! Of course the charge doubled from the promised rate of $1000 for the rental period to almost $2500. I had arranged additional insurance but that didn’t stop the agent from repeatedly telling me I was responsible for any damage up to £60,000. Anyway, I accepted as there were no reasonable alternatives to this scam and my wife and I drove off. The car was very nice in all fairness and we took excellent care of it. When we returned, a woman was trying to maneuver her car through the parking area and the agent working that day started telling us she had best be careful in case she inflicted any damage on any of their cars! What is it with this company and damage to their rental cars? I parked our car and the first thing out of the guy’s mouth was, “ We seem to have a scratch over here .” It was a very superficial scratch that disappeared when I rubbed my finger on it. After the experience I had already had with them I was less than kind to the agent who was doing the job he was told to do. He should look for a better place to work. This company operates by defrauding people to boost the bottom line. I was promised a rate by Kayak and had to pay over double the amount because I arrived a few hours later than I said. I have never had such an experience with any other car rental company. Don’t deal with Easirent. There’s nothing easi about it.

Experienced issue with warning light. If we had to exchange car would have required 400 mile round trip. Lack of offices, depots nationally.

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.

I couldn't get a hold of the company before traveling to make amendments to the booking. I called Kayak and tried to call Ace and the name of the company was something else entirely. Kayak said to visit their kiosk when I got to Heathrow, there was no kiosk at Heathrow. No phone number would connect me to a human and in the end I showed up to pick up the time I wanted to change it to and they were very accommodating. Shame about the runabout in the lead up.

They didn't accept the insurance on my credit card so the car cost a lot more than I had planned for. The car they gave me had worn through the brake pads and you could hear the rotors rubbing when you braked. I was staying 200 miles away from the rental place so was hard to bring the car back for a replacement. I am upset that they provided me with a car, that I drove my children around in, that was not fit for purpose. To add to this the person at the desk when I returned the car was not polite, barely talked and was not too apologetic about the state of the vehicle. Will never use again or recommend to anyone!

Very confusing process. Ended up paying triple of what I thought I was going to. I would suggest a more reputable brand. Might cost more on paper but not worth the headache of this rental experience.

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.

I will never use Avis again - ever. In Jan 2019 I booked a car for pick up at LHR Dec 16, making the mistake that my flight out of SFO was actually getting into LHR Dec 17. Had I picked up the car Dec 16, I would have been paying $460 for my rental period. With zero flexibility they wanted me to now pay £2000 for the same rental package (1 day less in fact). After a long haul flight with 4 biggish bags - which the Avis shuttle driver gave no help with - I had to go back to T2 and get a car from National for £600. Same size as my original Avis booking, help with baggage into and off of bus and even into my car! Enterprise rocks. Avis sucks big time.

I made the mistake of not bringing my passport to the rental counter. Although not explicitly stated anywhere in the terms and conditions, a passport for foreign tourists is required to rent a car from Avis Heathrow. A driver's license is not sufficient documentation.

Pick up/drop off at T5 was awesome - not little bus. Very convenient

CheckIn process is long winded. Don’t know why the Avis rep (who was very helpful) has to go through so many steps to release the car?

The staff seemed nice, but didn't inform you of extra things (like paying extra for wifi or navigation which are standard in all cars now). Also signage to get to location is HORRIBLE in the airport + no employees of the airport really know how to tell you to get there.

Excellent|Mar 2019

I booked online and the auto booking had me pick up at T5 as it was my flight out. But I landed at T3 and didn’t realize. T3 Avis staff excellent sorting it out.

Is it me or is there a clear deliberate check in pick up and drop off location? Small point.

I reserved online with estimate of $782.00 for an 8 day rental in London Heathrow. When I returned the car, I was charged £967.00. I didn’t agree to insurance except for tire damage. The original estimate supposedly included taxes and other fees but it didn’t include all taxes and fees. Beware.

Will never rent this way again. Instructions on receipt and confirming email had conflicting addresses and the wrong phone number. No signage at airport for where to find the agency, and without a working phone number, couldn’t find it. Heathrow’s information desk had never heard of it and told us to just take the car rental shuttles, but the drivers (fortunately) told us that wasn’t going to work. After 45 minutes of searching at the airport, gave up and hired a cab to take us to the two addresses we had. Fortunately, we picked the right one first (450 Bath). The cab ride ate up most of the difference in price between Routes and a name brand, on-airport rental agency. (The customers arriving after us also took a cab to get there.) There wasn’t even signage at the (correct) office park Then we waited a half hour for service as the one employee handling three different rental labels (at two different desks) was with other frustrated customers. Once finally with the agent (who was very nice, but didn’t go out of his way to apologize for the fiasco), it took another 30 minutes to rent the car. That included an improper mileage limit that required our rental confirmation receipt to correct. Unlike most of the major services, there is no insurance at all included, which the driver is required to have in the UK (and your US-based insurer probably doesn’t cover you—our very good insurance does not), so we needed to buy insurance—now our bill was substantially higher than if we had just used a name-brand, on-airport service. Also, we had specifically paid an extra $5 for a Ford rather than a Kia, so what did we get? A Kia. By the time that came up, we were so far behind our schedule that there was just no point in even mentioning it. In summary: inconvenient in the extreme (more than two hours from the time we arrived at the airport to the time we left), difficult to find, and ended up costing more than a name brand. What bliss. In short, we won’t make this mistake again. On the bright side, the car was clean, relatively new, and it drove well.
