LONDON STANSTED AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

Easy pick up and first class guy at the desk . Super helpful Drop off at Southend airport was made terrible and stressful with bad signage and direction.

The guys on desk was rude and it was difficult to find on way back

Well organized

I don't see a point why there is a deposit of 1200 GBP on a Fiat 500.

Didn't need the extra insurance, but didn't appreciate the hard sell either.

The counter staff charged us another £324 when we picked the car up as they said the insurance we had booked from Easyrent was not good enough and they didn’t agree with the rental voucher we produced which stated ‘nil to pay on pickup’!

Counter staff v helpful, short queue. Time wasted because I clicked the in terminal option on your website when in fact all car hire desks moved to the village over a year ago. Was grateful for your price and clear paperwork as Europcar tried to take 140 for the hire itself rather than your quote, then said that was without insurance/basic insurance only with high excess.

We live in London and chose to pick up the car from Standsted Airport for price concern; it turned out it totally worthed the value! The car was relatively new and extraordinary clean while the staff there were very helpful, definitely will do again when needed.

A good website with tons of car rental information to choose from!

Need to be more clear to ride shuttle bus for the customers so they don’t ended up wrong place and be more kind.

All good.... quick and no problems at all

Service too slow Sent a walk to back of an unlit car park. Try to sell upgrade car, satnav, extra miles cdw insurance. If I had wanted them I would have booked them!! Petrol was on the red.

Easy to use.

Must admit we’ve had many car hires but linda made this car hire so easy and quick and we’ll use this again for sure

Everything was easy and quick from word go

Please don't try to trick people by scaring them about insurance. Most people have comprehensive travel insurance and when they say they don't need your insurance you shouldn't proceed to scare them that it is not enough. trying to upgrade people to another car for Inflated prices is not good. I was offered an upgrade if I paid £15 a day _ this is more than I paid for the car I hired! I was told it woukd be more economic as it was diesel!!!! We didn't use more than 15 pounds of petrol a day.

Waited over 30 minutes to be picked up and taken to the off airport Thrifty rental offices. When inspecting the vehicle we were told that we had to take this specific vehicle as that was the only one available! We stated that it was too small, impractical and not as described. We were informed that this was the only vehicle available and that there were no alternatives. The offices were away from the airport in an industrial area so we had no option to choose another car rental agency. The car was not suitable as it had too little boot space for two normal sized suitcases. The only way we could fit our luggage in was to collapse the rear seats leaving our valuables exposed and meant that we couldn't fit passengers in the rear. Had to make the best of a bad situation as we were left with no option. Not the outcome we were hoping for.

Straight forward and easy booking process.

The staff at the car park were polite. But the man at the desk is clearly in the wrong job - he should be kept away from customers! Really intrusive with questions and incredibly sexist. He said he was “joking” but i can’t imagine any female - or male - customer would even raise a smile at his comments on “terrible women drivers”. Clearly he wasn’t very bright (or funny) but surely this comes with the training? I didn’t have the time or energy to do more than say it wasn’t acceptable, but he shouldn’t be doing that. I also didn’t like his misleading manner of trying to sell me insurance. I regularly hire cars and I know the drill, but to get all theatrical about it was tiresome.

Terrible experience I’ll never do it again

Everything went according to expectations.

It was fine - everything as expected.

Wants you to waste money on printing everything out. Electronic copy not good enough newsflash its 2019 no need to chop trees down

I had gotten third party insurance for the car and explained to easirent that I already had insurance and didn't need it. They still made me put down a sizable deposit which they said would be fully refunded, but then somehow charged me 27 pounds a day because they said I had asked for a reduced deposit. I had questioned the +1,000 pound deposit which they said they would reduce to 150, but then charged me for it. It is in the fine print on the contract after looking back over, but they quick talked me into it at the counter as they rushed me through the sign in process. So just be careful!

Booked the rental for 8 am pick up only to find the office was still closed. Found telephone number on internet as no telephone number, help or advice to be found at the rental cabin. Called interrent and was told in a very dismissive tone, I would just have to wait until the staff got their. Not a good first impression at all. When staff appeared (8:15) no apology or even acknowledgment that I had been waiting for the 8am collection. Was given an upgrade to a “Mitsubishi” which was actually a MG3. No complaint about the car or the value for money but the service leaves a lot to be desired.
