MANCHESTER AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

my flight was delayed so i arrived close to closing time. i called the office and they said they would wait for me. that was very reassuring and kind.

Helpful staff put us in a car that whilst large was underpowered for its size.Not Budgets issue just an observation.Drop off easy to find and service upon return was great.Small scratch on mirror however lady acknowledged as fair wear and tear which was apprecaited.

Process of booking was easy and good value for money.Would use site again definitely.

It took over half an hour waiting in the rain for someone to pick us up. When someone finally showed up it was to drop someone off and they had no idea we where waiting.

Very disappointed. I was forced me at the counter to pay 280 pounds extra for insurance. Though I had a credit card they said its not valid and they have to charge extra insurance otherwise I couldn't take the vehicle.

Speed of collection was incredibly slow - and insufficient staff available to meet the demand - 45 minutes before anyone was able to start processing the collection.

I am a seasoned car renter for the last 4 years renting cars at different parts of the world but this time I had the worst experience towards the end of the rental process after returning the car as I was accused of damaging the car tyre by Budget’s staff the next day after returning the car. It was disheartening to find that the accusations came without clarification with the client and proper checking by the check-in staff. It impressed upon me that Budget is only trying to punish their clients who did not purchase a Zero-Excess Insurance from them and they would use dirty tricks to cheat money by falsely accusing the driver of damaging their car AFTER they return the car. The odds are always against the Drivers as the rental Company could easily find thousand and one reason to penalise the driver on any car system error anytime they want. For my case, when I return the car it was in good condition but the Next morning my rental company received an email that I was being charged almost 3 times the car rental for damaging their front tyre. That is so absurd as the car was alright all the while as i drove from Manchester to and fro Edinburgh without any issues at all. If the tyre was damaged I would surely noticed it and reported straight away and it wouldn’t be possible to drive back safely over few hundred miles journey. Through this experience, I became very sceptical of car rental companies and initially I was planning of renting another car however that incident changed my mind. Unless car rental companies start stepping up on their integrity, all renters would be wary whenever they rent a car. I hope they reflect on this incident, especially Budget.

Thankfully I have Wendy Chen assisting me to follow up with the case, coordinating both with the rental company (Budget) and my Insurance company (AXA). Without her help, I would have been penalised another £150 innocently. She is amazing.

The price I thought I was going to pay was no where near the final price. You should be upfront on prices, because you know at the end of the day you know people are in a place where they cant say forget I’ll go somewhere else. They just want to be on their way. Also, you have to get out of the space you currently in, it is way to packed. People shouldn’t have to lug their bags to the bus because there’s no room for the bus to turn around.

they upgraded us for free!! was great service when we wanted to extend our booking for one day.

easy smooth, we keep coming back to use easyrentcars as consistently great service! Thank You!

Brilliant service would highly recommend

Brilliant website, so easy to use and has never let me down the point system is amazing.

Told I could leave my car for the duration when I enquired via email. Counter staff refused to let me leave the car. This resulted in a £45 charge to leave at the airport car park. Counter staff didn’t care.

Helpful and easy going

Very smooth and clearly explained

Counter staff very friendly bit of a hard sell for extra insurance which i told them i had already bought. New staff though so probably told to try and sell. Car had all scratches on it which is unusual for them usually pristine but no trouble when i took it back

Very disappointed. Did no receive the right size car due to the 36 day booked period. Will not use this company again.

Counter staff were very good, polite and helpful. Had an issue when I returned the car full having paid for a tank of fuel in collection. Took several attempts until my money was refunded.

Simple and easy to use

The car was a little sluggish. And the headlight direction needs to be raised for night driving.

Staff were very slow in taking care of customers; their main objective was to scare and bully you into as many additional insurances as possible, ignoring completely the coverage already subscribed to at the booking. Not helpful their policy to hand over the car with an (almost) empty fuel tank and expecting it back with the same level. On the positive side: The car I had booked was also the one I got - which is rather exceptional.

Very easy and user-friendly as a platform. The automatic price-drop alert worked perfectly and actually saved me money. Very satisfied in every respect.

The counter staff was efficient. However the tyre pressure was not well maintained.

It is a great car rental booking platform.

35 mins to pick up in 2 degrees Celsius, the van was waiting at the wrong bus stop behind a bus and with no signage on the front. The driver did at least help me with one of my three cases once we had finally found each other. Check in was complicated because of having to use the self check in machine, even though there were no other customers present and at least two staff working on the desk. The first vehicle issued was not read worthy due to a defective passenger-side mirror, which should not have been released for rental. The vehicle was swapped when I complained. The car was collected in the dark and covered in overnight moisture so some damage was not noticed on the rear driver-side wheel arch; this was only found when I reached my initial destination. Vehicle collection should be arranged in a well-lit area to ensure that no such damage is missed by the renter. The vehicle ran well and is comfortable. The shuttle can does not run frequently enough so I was waiting almost 30 mins after dropping off the vehicle to return the airport.

All good. I received a price drop 'discount' prior to picking up the vehicle.

Person at the Hertz desk was quite abrupt and slightly rude. Seemed quite disinterested.

No trouble with booking through easy rent at all.

The staff was very helpful and when we encountered a difficult situation in our travel they helped by providing us with additional resources.
