The car was good - a Skoda estate. My issue was the £55 they automatically charged for processing (in effect passing on) an erroneous car parking fee. Not happy about this - I guess read the small print; it was I’m sure in there. It’s a bit of trek by shuttle bus to the back of the crown plaza hotel in Crawley- show the driver your booking to waiver the bus charge. They are infrequent- 2 / hour - so check times. Don’t forget you need a *credit* card with your address matching your drivers licence and £1500 to be blocked out, or you will get royally screwed for insurance charges. Good luck!

I booked a compact car and no compact cars where available, so instead of giving me an upgrade they downgraded me to a smaller car. The attendant who Checked me out wasn’t friendly and he didn’t even apologize for Downgrading me and giving me a car cheaper than what I paid for

The car a Renault Kaptur was absolutely awful but that's Renaults fault

Excellent no problems

The counter staff member was rude and offhand. I also found him to be evasive and somewhat shifty. He did not have the mini car group which I had booked- suggesting that we might wait some undetermined time for a late return or offering us a 9-seater vehicle instead. He then insisted that I was required to give a £2500 credit card deposit which he said would be held for 2 weeks- this larger deposit due to the fact it was a larger vehicle than I had booked. There was no offer of compensation for this mistake and no acknowledgement of the extra fuel that this vehicle would consume at my expense, or of the difficulties in manouvering this large vehicle in traffic, etc. Even in the light of this failure to supply the pre-booked vehicle, I felt this was an unneccessarily adversarial encounter. At the pick up point in an underground car park 3 blocks away the final check and release was conducted efficiently and courteously. This also was true for the return check and sign off as 'all fine'.

Service and car we're great, just disappointed in the extras , made a cheap car super expensive, the no excess insurance of 40€ was to much.
